Line #82 PopularWithFurries/AnimatedFilms


1	* The wolf-based series of ''WesternAnimation/AlphaAndOmega'' films are quite popular with furries. On the opposing side, it is also very [[BrokenBase controversial with furries]] (mostly wolf ones) due to the character designs and [[ArtisticLicenseBiology biological inaccuracy]].
2	* ''WesternAnimation/AnnabellesWish'' has a lot of furry fans, especially millennial furries who grew up watching its broadcasts on Creator/CartoonNetwork and Creator/{{Fox}} to a smaller degree.
3	* ''WesternAnimation/AnimalCrackers2017'': ''Duh''. Long before the movie became more accessible, it was a CultClassic within the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom, for [[{{Animorphism}} obvious]] [[TransformationFiction reasons]]. And apparently, the fandom has ApprovalOfGod, make of that what you will.
4	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Animalympics}}'' is a WorldOfFunnyAnimals all showing off their athleticism. Bootleg copies of it are common sights at furry convention vendor stalls, and its frequent runs on 80s television ensured it reached a large audience as a [[GatewaySeries gateway drug]]. It also inspired several of the first generation of [[FurriesAreEasierToDraw furry artists]].
5	* The Argentine-Italian film ''WesternAnimation/ElArca'' is very popular with furries, with Panthy, a black panther club dancer, being probably the most popular character from the film.
6	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Balto}}'':
7	** ''Balto'' has a lot of furry fans. It shares much of its fanbase with Disney fans due to [[AllAnimationIsDisney the similarities]] between it and dog-themed Disney films.
8	** ''WesternAnimation/BaltoIIWolfQuest'' is often cited as a [[GatewaySeries gateway drug]] for wolf fanatics.
9	* The now defunct Creator/BlueSkyStudios provides the following examples:
10	** Being one of the few series centered around prehistoric mammals, ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' has attracted furries. Diego and Shira, in particular, attract cat fans in general. The [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Scratazons]] from the supplemental material for the [[WesternAnimation/IceAgeCollisionCourse fifth installment]] are also popular.
11	** ''WesternAnimation/{{Rio}}'' has a small following among bird fans.
12	* Many Creator/DonBluth movies have starred characters that have been ingrained within the popularity by the furry fandom. Here's a list of some of them:
13	** ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven2'' has a fanbase amongst furries due to the characters Charlie and Sasha (who is about as MsFanservice as a PartiallyCivilizedAnimal can be in a kid's film). The [[WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven original]] is more obscure, but still has its fans in the furry fandom.
14	** Ludmilla's dragon form in ''WesternAnimation/BartokTheMagnificent'' has a very strong following among dragon loving scalies. Her transformation scene in particular is also popular with [[TransformationFiction transformation enthusiasts]].
15	** Many dinosaur scalies are into ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime''. It and its many sequels, and the TV series spin-off, were a [[GatewaySeries gateway drug]] for future scalies.
16	** ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'':
17	*** [[{{Hunk}} Chanticleer]], [[MsFanservice Goldie]] and, for [[ChubbyChaser some]] [[TransformationFiction people]], the Duke are all quite popular in the "bird" side of the fandom, appearing in fanart every now and then.
18	*** While Edmund is [[TheScrappy unpopular]], even in ''that'' part of the internet, him being transformed into a CuteKitten makes him a bit of an EscapistCharacter.
19	** The CultClassic ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'' is practically considered the furry equivalent of a ClosetKey. The DirectToVideo sequel, ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH2TimmyToTheRescue'', has its furry fans too.
20	** ''WesternAnimation/TitanAE'': If the volume of fan art is anything to go by, [[WrenchWench Stith]] ([[MixAndMatchCritters who looks like a cross between kangaroo and bird of prey]]) is ''immensely'' popular compared to the rest of the cast.
21	* ''Anime/TheBoyAndTheBeast'', directed by the same guy as ''Wolf Children'', is about a human boy who ends up in another world populated by {{Beast M\|an}}en and becomes friends with a bear man named Kumatetsu. The film is very popular with furries. Kumatetsu especially has a LGBTFanbase due to his manly appearance, being a literal bear, which artists play up in fanart of him.
22	* ''WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance'' has {{Funny Animal}}s existing as oppressed minorities alongside privileged human actors in Hollywood during TheForties. Naturally, the pretty female angora Sawyer gets most of the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom's attention.
23	* A lot of Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon films are this due to their focus on animals, especially dogs and cats:
24	** ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians'' had some popularity with furries, but it wasn't until it became [[Franchise/OneHundredAndOneDalmatians a franchise]] decades later when it garnered a bit more traction, especially in ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatiansTheSeries'' where characters like Cadpig and Two-Tone appear. This has been bolstered even further by ''WesternAnimation/OneHundredAndOneDalmatianStreet'' years later.
25	** ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'' is popular with furries who are cat lovers. Duchess is a very popular cat character amongst furries, while [[CuteKitten her daughter Marie]] is also popular in the furry fandom, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff especially in Japan, Brazil, and Italy.]]
26	** ''WesternAnimation/{{Bambi}}'' is a relatively rare case of deer being popular with furries. The [[WesternAnimation/BambiII midquel]] in particular is seen as SoOkayItsAverage by most Disney enthusiasts, but still has a steady fandom due to its more humanised approach. Many fans love the EnsembleDarkhorse Ronno, love the expanded relationship between Bambi and his father, and enjoy the character designs, which are tweaked slightly from the first film to allow a more human range of expressions.
27	** The Beast from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' is quite popular with furries. Several fans (many who aren't even furries) were disappointed at him transforming back into a human at the end. (Amusingly, [[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast2017 the 2017 live-action remake]] gives a nod to the "Human Beast/Prince Adam is sexier pre-transformation" belief at the end of the film, with [[spoiler:Belle asking the Prince if he considers growing a beard, and him replying with a playful growl]], which is a cut line from the original film.)
28	** ''WesternAnimation/BigHero6'' has Fred, a fan of Kaiju and fantasy creatures. His Fredzilla battle suit drew Kaiju fans thanks its badass yet adorable design. Fred's bedroom room can also get admiration with the fantasy creature models he has.
29	** ''WesternAnimation/{{Bolt}}'' often gets passed over by Disney fans due to it being made during the tail end of their 2000's AudienceAlienatingEra; however, dog and cat fans love it.
30	** ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'' is about a man who [[ForcedTransformation turns into a bear]] and ultimately [[spoiler:decides to stay as one]]. Bear fans like it and people who like [[TransformationFiction characters who can turn into animals]] like it.
31	** ''WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaur}}'' has fans thanks to the use of detailed computer-generated dinosaurs and almost-anthropomorphic lemurs. Aladar's AllLovingHero attitude and maturation help make him an endearing protagonist.
32	** Unusually, most ''WesternAnimation/TheFoxAndTheHound'' fans tend to ignore Copper and focus on Tod (and his mate Vixey). Foxes are popular in their own right, and it's possible that Bloodhounds aren't "cute" enough for many people. The Singin' Strays in [[WesternAnimation/TheFoxAndTheHound2 the sequel film]] (''especially'' [[SouthernBelle Dixie]]) also have a lot of fans, though not as many as Tod himself.
33	** ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatMouseDetective'' has a following, but it's one of those Franchise/{{Disney\|Animated Canon}} films that often gets forgotten--except the [[BestKnownForTheFanservice dancing showgirl mouse scene]]. Miss Kitty isn't even humanoid and doesn't have a FurryFemaleMane but manages to be extremely popular nevertheless. However, Basil and Ratigan do have their fans.
34	** ''WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp'' itself has a moderate fandom amongst dog furries; however, the ''[[WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTrampIIScampsAdventure sequel]]'' is much more preferred. Fans really like the cute puppies Angel and Scamp.
35	** ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch'':
36	*** [[WesternAnimation/LiloAndStitch Stitch]], despite being an alien who was only adopted as a "dog", is decently popular with furries due to his cute, animalistic design (he does look like a fluffy blue koala, after all). This also applies to some of [[Characters/LiloAndStitchExperiments his "cousins"]], including [[TheImp Reuben]] and (especially) [[DistaffCounterpart An]][[LoveInterest gel]].
37	*** Fun fact: director/writer Creator/ChrisSanders, who is also Stitch's creator and voice actor, has [[https://en.wikifur.com/wiki/Chris_Sanders old ties with the furry fandom]].
38	** ''Franchise/TheLionKing'':
39	*** The film itself [[GatewaySeries made furries out of many of those who grew up watching it]]. Many people mistake ''every'' lion OC and fursona for a ''Franchise/TheLionKing'' OC. It's one of the biggest Disney fandoms due to the appeal of lions, how many {{Fandom Specific Plot}}s can be created about them, and the large amount of extended media for the franchise.
40	*** More than a few admit they find Simba or Kovu attractive. They were certainly designed to be cute looking but this unintentionally this led to a number of fangirls and fanboys.
41	*** Though in Kovu's case, maybe it isn't that surprising. He's primarily based on [[Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet Romeo]] after all.
42	*** Hyenas have also become fairly popular with furries partially because of the film.
43	** ''WesternAnimation/ThePrincessAndTheFrog'' is very accommodating to frog fans with Tiana and Naveen both contending with [[ForcedTransformation being stuck in amphibian forms]] as a major plot point. It also helps that they both befriend Louis, the anthropomorphic alligator, who is very protective of his new friends, would rather play trumpet than hunt, and has a dream to become human himself, earning him more than a few scalie fans. Louis will still use his alligator traits to protect his friends and intimidate enemies, so he knows when to use his advantages too.
44	** Dodger, Rita, Georgette and Oliver from ''WesternAnimation/OliverAndCompany'' are quite popular despite their movie being a CultClassic Disney film.
45	** ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}'':
46	*** Honest John and Gideon, an anthropomorphic fox and cat respectively, have their furry fans.
47	*** The movie also has a [[NightmareFetishist slightly disturbing]] MisaimedFandom with TransformationFiction and donkey fans.
48	** ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers'', like ''The Great Mouse Detective'', is another Disney feature starring mice that's often forgotten, but several furries fondly remember the starring anthropomorphic mice, Bernard and Miss Bianca.
49	*** Even more forgotten is its sequel, ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder'', but there are many furries attracted to Jake the kangaroo rat.
50	** ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973'', taking place in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, is sometimes regarded as more or less ''the'' defining movie for the fandom (at least, until ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' came out), and considered one of the biggest gateway drugs to the fandom. Ask any furry who grew up in the 70s when it was first released, or the mid 80s and early 90s when it came out on videocassette, and chances this film helped get them into the fandom. It only makes sense that some of the most common fanart in the fandom is those of the main character and/or Maid Marian.
51	** Kanga from Disney's ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' franchise has gained a large following in the furry fandom (especially fans who grew up with the Creator/DisneyToonStudios [[WesternAnimation/TheTiggerMovie Pooh]] [[WesternAnimation/PigletsBigMovie movies]]) due to her kind-hearted nature [[TheSmurfettePrinciple and the only female resident of the Hundred Acre Woods]]. Her son Roo has also gained a similar following due to his cute and energetic nature.
52	** ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'' is another Disney feature that tends to get forgotten, but Captain Amelia and Dr. Delbert Doppler, an anthropomorphic cat and dog respectively, have their furry fans.
53	** ''WesternAnimation/{{Zootopia}}'' is practically a given, considering it takes place in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, while the two main characters are a red fox (Nick Wilde) and a bunny (Judy Hopps) (two animals with extremely large furry followings). In fact, this was ''such'' a given that, prior to the film's release, some early spotty marketing [[AndYouThoughtItWouldFail led many people to think it would ONLY be popular with furries]]. But then it went on to be one of the year's most consistently well-reviewed films and make over a billion USD worldwide at the box office, making it the second-highest-earner in the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon.
54	** AscendedExtra characters:
55	*** [[WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967 Kaa]] and [[WesternAnimation/RobinHood1973 Sir Hiss]] are very popular with scalies, especially the former. Snake [=OCs=] in the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom very commonly have [[HypnoticEyes similar hypnotic abilities]].
56	*** [[WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} Mushu]], like Stitch, is another character who has transcended his home series to become almost a stand-alone character. He's a travel-sized wise-cracking DelightfulDragon who has popular Ride/{{Disneyland}} merchandise and has featured in the Lunar New Year parade as a live action mascot, further boosting his appeal.
57	* Creator/DreamWorksAnimation has films of their own that have wound up becoming this:
58	** ''WesternAnimation/TheBadGuys2022'', despite the popularity of the book series, took until the movie's first trailer for a huge boom of the furry fandom to gain interest in the series. Mr. Wolf and Diane Foxington have garnered notable attention from furries, but Mr. Snake, Mr. Shark, and Webs aren't too far behind either.
59	** The ''Franchise/HowToTrainYourDragon'' franchise has a steady fanbase of dragon-loving scalies due to its plot revolving around dragons. Toothless is one of the most popular dragon characters out there.
60	** ''Franchise/KungFuPanda'', as a work taking place in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals has a large furry fandom who mostly focus on [[ActionGirl Tigress]] (and [[FanPreferredCouple her relationship with Po]]). Tai Lung is also ''incredibly'' popular among gay furries.
61	*** The franchise's fourth installment, ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda4'', introduces a new fox thief character named Zhen, who has proven to be quite popular with furries following her debut in the film's first trailer and the film proper. She gets a lot of heartwarming character development and changes considerably throughout the film.
62	*** Chameleon in ''4''. As an antagonist who is a reptile, she is naturally a draw for scalie fans. Chameleon being driven by masters turning her down on teaching her Kung Fu helps add dimension to her backstory and helps avoid making her a cardboard cut-out villain. Plus, she has an awe-inspiring, if not creepy, chimaera-dragon transformation.
63	** ''Franchise/{{Madagascar}}'' has developed a huge furry fanbase thanks to its cast of lovable talking animals. It also helps that one of them, Gloria, is BestKnownForTheFanservice.
64	*** Also, it is canonically established that Moto Moto is considered very attractive, at least by hippopotamus standards. The emphasis the producers put on highlighting his sexuality, combined with his theme song "Big and Chunky", has made him one of the most memorable aspects of the second film.
65	** ''WesternAnimation/OverTheHedge'' isn't as popular with furries as other films, but it has some level of recognition, with RJ and Heather being two of the most popular characters for fan-art.
66	** ''WesternAnimation/RiseOfTheGuardians'' depicts the Easter Bunny as a wise-cracking, snarky anthropomorphic rabbit, giving the ''Guardians'' depiction of him a dedicated following of rabbit fans.
67	** Puss in Boots from ''Franchise/{{Shrek}}'' and his [[WesternAnimation/PussInBoots self-titled spin-off]], as well as his love interest Kitty Softpaws, are both pretty popular with cat fans for being charismatic, cool, yet [[BadassAdorable adorable]] anthropomorphic cats. The sequel, ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'' also appealed to many wolf fans as one of the antagonists is a CreepyAwesome wolf named [[spoiler:Death]], who has a cool design and a domineering demeanor.
68	** ''WesternAnimation/SpiritStallionOfTheCimarron'' was a GatewaySeries for many horse fans and horse furries, and is quite popular among the furry fandom due to being one of the few animated features about horses (and wild horses at that, which many people romanticize). It doesn't hurt that the the horses are largely portrayed realistically and are well-animated.
69	* The Yugoslavian animated film ''Animation/TheElmChantedForest'' has the attractive lounge singer [[FoxyVixen Fifi Fox]], who has a small but fairly dedicated following among fox furries due to her [[HartmanHips cute-yet-curvaceous appearance]], [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench alluring French accent with a nice singing voice]], and her graceful dances. It doesn't hurt that there are [[MaleGaze quite a few shots that focus on her hips and butt]], either.
70	* ''WesternAnimation/FantasticMrFox'' has an enormous following of furries, particularly owing to the community's long-standing appreciation for anthropomorphic foxes.
71	* Batty Koda from ''WesternAnimation/FernGullyTheLastRainforest'' is a popular character with bat furries.
72	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Felidae}}'' is a dark and gritty FilmNoir film which just happens to star PartiallyCivilizedAnimal cats. [[MatureAnimalStory The contrast]] [[AudienceAlienatingPremise confuses or creeps out many]], but furries take to it just fine.
73	* ''WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldMovie'': Vic's introduction in the trailer has induced a reaction in furries, by being a large, burly, and very furry alley cat, who's the father to the famous lazy orange cat. It helps he's also voiced by Creator/SamuelLJackson. [[StupidSexyFlanders Or doesn't, depending on your point of view]].
74	* ''WesternAnimation/GayPurree'', a [=UPA=] film from the early-1960s, has a following among feline furries.
75	* The Great Wolf Lodge's 45-minute reboot film called ''WesternAnimation/TheGreatWolfPackACallToAdventure'' features 5 mascots from the Great Wolf Kids who are Wiley Wolf, Violet Wolf, Sammy Squirrel, Oliver Raccoon and Brinley Bear.
76	* ''WesternAnimation/KangarooJackGDayUSA'': Unlike the BaitAndSwitch nature of the original movie’s titular kangaroo, Jackie Legs is a central character in the film and thus his HalfDressedCartoonAnimal appearance has earned it some Furry attention.
77	* ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest'', an obscure GreenAesop film from the 90s, has a cult following that includes a few furries.
78	* The ''Anime/OneStormyNight'' film is about a goat and a wolf who become friends (with a fair chunk of HomoeroticSubtext) despite their families' disapproval. Naturally, it has gained a following amongst furries and is often called the "Japanese ''[[WesternAnimation/TheFoxAndTheHound Fox and the Hound]]''".
79	* ''WesternAnimation/PawsOfFuryTheLegendOfHank'': This kid-friendly version of ''Film/BlazingSaddles'' is ripe for furry love.
80	* Creator/{{Pixar}} animated canon:
81	** ''WesternAnimation/ABugsLife'' is about a ant colony which is terrorized each year by a biker gang-esque group of grasshoppers. Atta, Gypsy, and especially Rosie are all very popular with fans of arthropods. Flik also has his fans, helped by his adorkable personality and mission to help his colony.
82	** ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'' features Imelda's personal Alebrije Pepita, who has features of a dragon, a gryphon and a jaguar and proves herself to be a very protective guardian of the Rivera family, making her appeal to the feline fans. Her brilliant RedGreenContrast helps too.
83	** ''WesternAnimation/{{Luca}}'' appeals to TransformationFiction and FishPerson fans with the film's Sea Monsters being far from "monstrous" and having awe-inspiring vivid colors on their true forms. This fandom even crosses over with Pixar's ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' with fans of one film also appreciating the other due to the shared transformation theme.
84	** ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc1'' is about a parallel universe populated with a wide variety of monsters who rely upon the screams and later laughter of children. One of the main protagonists, Sulley is popular for being a lovable blue-bear-like humanoid with small horns on his head. He ultimately becomes a protector of Boo who is being menaced by the villain Randall Bogs. Randall himself has popularity with scalies thanks to being a cross between a chameleon and a snake; ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'' reveals that Randall wasn't always a villain and was even a LovableLizard at one point, bolstering his fan base.
85	** ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' is about a girl who can turn into a red panda whenever she's excited or stressed. Mei also effectively dresses up as a red panda using a cardboard suit, there are lots of characters who wear red panda ear headbands and attachable tails, and there are shirts that say "fur baby" on them. The film pretty much appeals to red panda fans and TransformationFiction fans.
86	* ''Literature/ThePlagueDogs'' is considered the similarly dark sister film to ''Watership Down''. It attracts furries, but not as many as ''Watership Down''.
87	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Rango}}'': Due to starring many anthropomorphized reptiles, this film is quite popular with scalies. Especially Rattlesnake Jake.
88	* ''Animation/RoadsideRomeo'' stars a bunch of dogs and has a furry-heavy following.
89	* ''WesternAnimation/RockDog'' focuses on rock stars in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals and thus attracts a following of furries who are also rock music fans.
90	* ''WesternAnimation/RockAndRule'' is a MatureAnimalStory featuring a FunnyAnimal and demonic beasts cast singing [[ThePowerOfRock early 80s rock]] about ThePowerOfLove. It attracts a following of largely dog fans.
91	* ''WesternAnimation/RudolphTheRedNosedReindeer1998'': Rudolph, Arrow, and Zoe have led to the film having a small fandom amongst deer fans, while Slyly and Leonard also have a small following among fox and bear fans respectively.
92	* The monstrous BigFun Steve and the muscular [[MixAndMatchCreatures shark/squid]] Tentacular from ''WesternAnimation/{{Rumble}}'' got quite a bit of praise from some furry communities.
93	* Mehitabel from ''WesternAnimation/ShinboneAlley'' is very popular with cat fans.
94	* Haku's dragon form from ''Anime/SpiritedAway'' is a popular dragon character.
95	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Sing}}'' has attracted an audience due to its more varied species compared to most media with anthropomorphic animals. The film is ''peppered'' with a large variety of animals both in crowd shots ''and'' even starring roles. On top of that, Ms. Crawly manages to [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent avert common stereotypes with reptilian characters]].
96	** Its sequel, ''WesternAnimation/Sing2'', manages to top it with even more characters that gained a fanbase:
97	*** Porsha Crystal has become very popular in the furry community, on account of being an attractive female wolf with a beautiful singing voice.
98	*** Suki Lane is also popular for being a tall, elegant Saluki woman who is paired with Buster for the TinyGuyHugeGirl appeal.
99	*** Nooshy also gained some popularity for her tomboyish appearance, personality, and her breakdancing.
100	*** Clay Calloway and Jimmy Crystal also have gained some popularity among the furry community, particularly among fans of the BaraGenre.
101	* ''WesternAnimation/WatershipDown'' is one of the few animal-related animated films that is very dark (though it's still [[WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids aimed at children]]). ''Watership Down'' attracts rabbit fans due to its premise, lore, characters, and its ability to [[SailorEarth easily create OCs]].
102	* ''Anime/WolfChildren'' is a film about a woman who falls for a werewolf and has two children with him. It has a following among wolf fans, werewolf fans and TransformationFiction fans.
103	* ''WesternAnimation/{{Wolfwalkers}}'' has become very popular and has gained a lot of furry fans, as the premise is about [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent people turning into wolves]] as an important plot point, so this is quite inevitable. [[TheProtagonist Robyn]] in her wolf form has won many furry fans, as many find she in her wolf form as very beautiful and cute.
