Was Walt Disney a furry?
Your first question should be what is a furry? There is no defined answer for that one. You could say that Indians were the first “furrys” They took on the attributes of the animals around them. You know like “Running bear”, “Swift eagle”, “Puma” etc. Disney on the other hand made use of animals in there story’s because they are easy to understand. You know when you see a fox he’s going to be fast slick, or sly. you know when you see a bear he’s going to be dumb and strong. They give you Iconic information that you don’t have to use words for. Was Disney a furry? I would say yes, you don’t have to want to yiff, dress up in fursuits or anything spechiels to be a “furry” you just have to love story telling and draw. “Funny animals”. Another person you should read up on who was isOsamu Tezuka. He I’m sure was. http://en.wikipedia.
I don’t think so, but he’s been an inspiration to many. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15242140/ I’ve seen more fur suits based on Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters than Disney, but perhaps it’s just what I’ve been exposed to. 4chan’s /b/ has used one of Disney’s characters (Robin Hood) for their anti-furry images.
