Zootopia 2 ‘Timber’ Ad: Are These Beavers Just Building a Dam, or Something More… Walt Disney Studios has dropped a marketing bombshell for Zootopia 2, and it’s making waves across the animal kingdom and beyond. A new ad, featuring two adorable beavers seemingly navigating the choppy waters of modern romance on an app called “Timber,” has left audiences either chuckling heartily or clutching their pearls with a knowing smirk.
The campaign, an ingenious parody of popular dating apps like Tinder (unless it is Grindr, in which case this has a whole lot more going on), showcases our buck-toothed lovers cozied up on a massive pile of logs, hands clasped, gazing soulfully into each other’s eyes. But it’s their digital exchange that’s truly sent the internet, and us, into fits of laughter.
Fair Warning: This article is for fun and has some adult innuendo!
I mean, seriously, IT IS A WET BEAVER! I am not the only one who sees the image and goes, Oh, his wood is on fire for Ms Beaver? While Ms. Beaver thinks his wood makes her… (redacted), which I am sure is absolutely NOT what Walt Disney Studios means by this image. I am sure it is something way simpler. Again, it is important to point out that this image was officially released by Walt Disney Studios!
On one paw, it’s a clever, pun-filled nod to their natural habitat. On the other paw, they’re clearly banking on the fact that adults understand the more fluid implications of that emoji. They’re telling us these beavers aren’t just looking for a pond to settle down in; they’re looking for a splash.
Maybe it is a literal beaver interpretation. It represents the water that is essential to their dam-building lifestyle. Beavers live in water, and dams control water flow, so it’s a very on-brand, wholesome emoji choice for a beaver. Or is it? “Timber” is a clear parody of Tinder, which is about matching people based on shared attraction
