Was Nick Wilde a fox version of Jason Bateman?


I noticed in Zootopia that if you look at Nick Wilde you can see that he clearly looks like Jason Bateman because even though he is a fox Nick appears to have Jason Bateman's face and his eyes are exactly like Jason Bateman's eyes as well. Did Disney design Nick Wilde to be a fox version of Jason Bateman?

It wouldn’t surprise me if the animators took cues from Bateman’s facial expression.
