Disney actually encouraged furries to tag photos of their fursuits with #Zootopia, #ZooU and #ZooglePhotos during the runup to the release.

Disney Animation did not expect the movie to do well after they threw away the second script. The rejection of the second script in May 2015, and the mounting expenses (then already north of $80 million) prompted Disney to move the release date from November 2015 (Oscar bait/Christmas season) to February 2016 (garbage…

If you took away that the movie’s broken Aesop was on racism instead of bigotry in general, you may have have largely missed the point.

I think Zootopia would have been the more on fleek reference.

There’s a difference between being uncomfortable in your own skin and having a whimsical side. It’s not that far removed from having a renaissance faire character or being part of SCA.

November 12, 1946. Walt Disney’s Song of the South.

So’s the furry fandom. Helped push Zootopia to a biblical opening weekend and the top grossing movie ever in several countries.

I tend to be a bit of a “personal furry”, in that my day to day personality is applied to my fursona. Partly because I’m lazy and that makes it easy, and partly because I don’t turn it on or off easily and it doesn’t make it weird.

Kage’s a hoot. I remember back in the Conifur Northwest days, him and 2 the Ranting Griffin could barely get a room with seating for 50 to run out of seats, now they’re standing room only in lecture hall size auditoriums...

I think that probably goes for most rural parts of the world that aren’t a bit nerdy themselves (like places that don’t have a country or renaissance faire, powwow, or similarly quirky event).

C’mon, really? Trump? Tell us where the fandom touched you to wish Trump on furries...

And for that, I’m thankful. Otherwise might as well move to Iran or North Korea or some other country they kill you for having independent thought.

Heh, variations on that have been uttered so many times since Usenet trolls thought it was funny in the mid-1990s that it’s lost all meaning. Seems like today, people don’t like furries because Gen X internet trolls in the mid-1990s didn’t like furries. And Usenet trolls were pretty well known to be basement dwelling…

Did you not stay until after the credits at Zootopia? Here’s what you missed:

Wikipedia can set you straight on this. Never was about kink. There are some that make it about kink, but this is kind of up there with asshole drivers; you never remember the good drivers but you probably remember when you got cut off last week...

If you have to ask, you’re already there.

Univision just ran an hour long special on Paw & Order Zootopia a couple weeks ago, and it’s one of the highest grossing movies of the year. Know thy audience?

This badly needs an update, considering I want to say this was on The Brunching Shuttlecocks before Windows 98 came out...

Not just that, but they probably work at your data center and in your IT department, too.
