Why are people acting like any animal based character is a furry? Did everyone forget about Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Cats Don't Dance, Aristocats, Mickey Mouse, American Tale, The Secret of NIMH, Adventures from the Book of Virtues, All Dogs Go To Heaven, Oliver and Company, Lion King, Bambi, Chester Cheetah, The Great Mouse Detective, the Trix Rabbit, basically anything made for kids, old fables and folktales, etc feel free to add to the list
None of this is new and it reminds me when people were losing their minds over actors playing different characters like it was a new thing
Looney Tunes and Time and Jerry didn't wear clothes, or pretend they were people.
The Looney tunes characters were all animals in animal settings, personified for comedic effect.
Then you've got all that Don Bluth stuff that is definitely furry, which kicked of a lot of furry imaginations.
Also pretty sure Disney is responsible for a lot of furries. Gadget alone fucked up a lot of kids.
I've never met anyone who hasn't watched cartoons where animals pretend to be people before, what a day.
