Bucky and Pronk Oryx-Antlerson are characters in the 2016 Disney animated feature film Zootopia. They are Judy's next-door neighbors at the Grand Pangolin Arms. Bucky is a kudu, and Pronk is a gemsbok (oryx).
Role in the film
Bucky and Pronk are seen briefly when Judy is shown to her apartment, quickly revealing themselves to be loud, obnoxious, and argumentative next-door neighbors. Later, when Judy is back in her apartment after a rough first day at work and her parents call, Bucky and Pronk overhear the conversation through the thin walls and offer some gruff commentary. Pronk rudely tells Judy to turn off the "depressing music" while Bucky is more sympathetic, stating that he needs to lay off because she "feels like a failure." The two then proceed to yell at each other to shut up. When Judy tells herself that tomorrow is another day, Pronk tells her that tomorrow may be worse.
