DJ Stripes, Kitty Claws, and Sir Whiskers are characters who appear in the Disney+ original series Zootopia+.

Background[]

DJ Stripes, Kitty Claws, and Sir Whiskers are three tigers who serve as the judges of the competition show "So You Think You Can Prance". During their duties as judges, they initially rejected Clawhauser during his audition; however, when Chief Bogo arrives to begin a new routine with Clawhauser, the three judges became amazed by their performance, along with the audience. As a result, the three tiger judges declare them the winners of this competition, awarding them with the Golden Paw.

Role in the series[]

In "So You Think You Can Prance", DJ Stripes, Kitty Claws, and Sir Whiskers are first seen observing a giraffe and armadillo dancing in front of them, only for Whiskers to reject the two of them from the stage. The three judges then observe two wildebeests dancing on stage, only for one of the judges to reject them, but not before Clawhauser arrives on stage - unaware that his dancing partner Chief Bogo is not present with him on stage. As Clawhauser begins claiming to Gazelle that Bogo is shy and needs some music, Whiskers presses his buzzer button to give him a strike. Clawhauser later begins dancing by himself without the music and his partner, which Kitty presses her button and gives him another strike, followed by Stripes doing the same, much to the crowd furious of Clawhauser's untalented dancing. Whiskers then presses his button, declaring Clawhauser being rejected from the audition.

As two security guards attempt to get Clawhauser out of stage, Gazelle and the judges suddenly notice Clawhauser being held by Bogo, causing them to react in shock as Clawhauser is excited to see his partner back. Throughout the dance, DJ Stripes, Kitty Claws, Sir Whiskers, and Gazelle react in amazement with Clawhauser and Bogo dancing together. After dancing, the tiger judges and Gazelle award Clawhauser and Bogo the Golden Paw, just as they and the crowd cheer for their performance.

Trivia[]

  • All of the three tiger judges' names are references to felids - especially tigers:
    • DJ Stripes' name is a reference to the black stripes he has on his back.
    • Kitty Claws' name is a pun on the given name "Kitty" and "kitten" with "Claws" being her last name a reference to a common characteristic of several feline species.
    • Sir Whiskers' name is a reference to the whiskers he has located between his nose, a common characteristic for most felids.
  • Sir Whiskers' mannerisms are a reference to Simon Cowell, a real-life judge who hosts TV shows American Idol and America's Got Talent.
