One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda reveals the suggestions Netflix took on-board for the live-action Chopper – including thinking of the fan favorite reindeer as a "cute plushie."
"I was worried, because I was shared material from the early stages," Oda admitted on the first episode of One Piece: Into the Grand Line: Official Podcast. "They did tend to see Chopper as this living creature at first, concerned about being true to animal bone structure, for instance, and bringing some realism to his look."
