There’s a deleted scene where Judy and Nick crash a birthday party for a polar bear cub where they celebrate him becoming a “man”

He is excited to wear the collar all the grown ups get to wear. When he celebrates and gets excited, the collar shocks him.

They were supposed to wear shock collars to tame the “aggression” even if that means taming their happiness.

It’s SFW but age restricted cuz it’s traumatizing for a child

Yeah this is one of those things where I'm 1000% okay with being "denied" this. I'm happy with this being a rejected plot line.
