since so many furries are artists, and so many cartoon characters are anthros i got to thinkin. how many cartoons were created by furries? i think a good example of a furry cartoon would be arthur. ive never seen more than a minute or two here and there but basicly, everyone is an anthro.

does anyone know if any cartoons are indeed created or animated by furries? if so which ones?

we just added fetishes to it.

I can say this: The majority of animation students at my local community college (about 4-5 years ago) were anime fans. And "Dragonball Z" was the biggest and coolest anime show that they were into. So, if animators had any say in what cartoons get produced, every American cartoon would be a Dragonball Z clone. Animators draw what they are told to draw, not what they want to draw.

>>1 The idea of Arthur as a "furry" cartoon makes me lawl. Marc Brown as a furry? Lawl, just lawl.

As Raven said, you don't have to be a furry to use anthros. It's one thing that totaly leaves me dumbfounded, when people seem to think that Shiggy over at Nintendo is a furry, or stuff like Daxter, Sypro, Sly, or even anime shows like Wolf's Rain or Kimba were created by "furries". I wouldn't doubt there's maybe a cartoon or two out there with maybe a furry on staff but if you look back, a number of artists who would be doing something like that cut their ties with furry and left as fast as they could, due to the stigma it brings. Yes, the WB animation dept knows of furries all too well, just ask a few guys who used to draw a little mink lady. And i'm sure other animation departments know of furry too and wouldn't touch anyone with ties to it. Even those people more on the edge like the Spumco crew laugh at furries.

 At least half the American cartoons currently "Making it" are DBZ clones.  While they don't follow the same exact formulae, they draw so many heavy influences it's almost painful.

>>9 Name -one- that follows Bird Studio's biggest hit. Seriously now.

I've heard that he was addicted to cocaine and that he was a pedophile. Fake or not, I tend to believe that he loved children a little too much.

>>7 OK, I'm friends with two furries who are employed as professional animators. I'm sure the people you talked about were fired for other reasons. Honestly, how can a company justify that to unemployment? "I fired them because of something they do on their free time"?

Other than that, not all furries are created equal. If furries are indeed being trashed in the animation industry, then it's because of naivity and stereotypes based on media interviews with the freaks of the fandom, ie, assuming the freakish minority speaks for everyone here.

>>10 Teen Titans uses much the same story formula as DBZ, and even Robin has been known to throw a flurry of "faster than fast" punches in DBZ style. As for the success of Ed, Edd, and Eddy and some of those others, well... America's getting stupider and stupider, so it's easy for children to relate to those characters on a personal level.

>>13 Which is why he ignored his own son to the point of enstrangement, right? ;)

OK, my own opinion on the original topic: any of those animators who considered their characters to be "themselves" or people they knew are furries, even if they're not part of the fandom or unaware of furry themselves. Because that's kind of the point, isn't it? True that lately the main idea of furry has been perverted towards the sexual side, but it's possible to be a completely non-sexual furry, and I think a lot of people (including some baised animators, see above) miss that point.

>>15 Depends on the animation studio. From what I understand, if you work for Disney for example, anything you draw or create, free time or not, is Disney property.

One rather well-known artist got fired from Disney because some douchebag ass-hat thought it would be funny to mail Disney a collection of his erotic works, NONE of which were ever supposed to be seen by anyone since they had only been given to personal friends who were obviously trusted too much.

And these days, people don't need a reason to fire you. Most employers have "at will" somewhere in their employment agreement which exempts them from needing an excuse, and you can only sue if you have a case for a specific discrimination. Oh, and if you can actually afford a lawyer.

>>15 TT uses the same story formula as DBZ? What? What TT are you watching? As for the faster punchies thing, I can't see that as 'super human' more just a cheap animation trick to show "Hey lol, he's throwing a lot of punches". I'm really loving to see how you think TT is copying DBZ's story formula.

>>15 Yes, it largely depends on the animation studio, but it's related to adult art. You going to tell me if it was found out your friends were sketching out adult furry artworks, they would -not- get shitcanned? Keep in mind, stuidos have images and how many would not care if it ended up in public that said artist was drawing smut? It also depends on said "aritst" if he's just doing storyboards and shit, then no, it's unlikely anyone will care.

The WB ref was used in ref to something in furry's past, when someone was trying to 'marry' M.Mink at a CF and some of the artists who drew her caught wind of it. But they know of furries outside of that, as there was once a artist who went to apply..and the porn he did got out.

Also, let's not forget that Bird Studios was still doing, or hadn't even put out Dragonball when Teen Titans was launched. (Comic/manga wise) DBZ wasn't even on the radars of anime fans.

All of the Teen Titans were trained to fight evil more or less and that's a ageless past time. You -really- have to stretch things out to connect it to DBZ and so far all you've got connecting the two is stylizing and even that's a stretch.

I love those Tachicoma (sp) things!

I'm not seeing any similarities. And a lot of the episodes are about how being determined isn't enough. Whenever the "go fight the villain" template was used, it was used to set up the major plot of the episode. It's a plot device, not the focus of the episode.
