This is the latest update of the FurFilms list, originally created sometime
around 1995 or 1996. My original intent was to list as many films as I could
find which included "furry" (including feathery or scaly) anthropomorphic
characters, in addition to related categories (such as dragons, werewolves,
etc.) In the early days I had to rely mostly on books and CD-ROM guides, so
I tended to err on the side of including titles I wasn't sure about. These
days, it's easier to find information on films at sites like Wikipedia and
IMDB. This list is mainly useful as a starting point, highlighting some of
the more notable films that feature furry characters, but it may contain
some errors and many omissions.

The focus of this guide is on feature films, although I couldn't resist
including a few classics like Chuck Jones' version of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. I
don't generally include series or other programs made for TV, cable, or
direct to video, with a few notable exceptions. Since there is already a
Furry Anime List, originally compiled by Scratch and updated by PeterCat
(http://www.tigerden.com/infopage/furry/anime/furry-anime-list.txt), I also
don't focus on including anime, except for a few titles that were already in
my list as well as some notable recent DVD releases.

In addition to the standard "furry" characters (which for the purposes of
this list I'll describe as anthropomorphic animal-people such as the
characters in Disney's animated _Robin Hood_), this guide also includes
films featuring talking animals, characters that are part-human and part-
animal (such as Dr. Moreau's creations or the unfortunate inventor in _The
Fly_), dragons, unicorns, werewolves, and other films that may be of furry
interest (particularly those that have been mentioned in alt.fan.furry).

Furfilm fans are encouraged to contribute brief reviews of their favorite
films or other commentary to be added to this list. I've rated some of the
films on the list, but the lack of a rating doesn't necessarily mean
anything. The rating can be anywhere from one to four claws. "Four claws"
^^^^ is the highest rating, reserved for a few special favorites. Movies
rated "three claws" ^^^ are above average, worth watching more than once. A
rating of "two claws" ^^ marks a film that, while it might be worth watching
for its furry elements, is generally unremarkable. Finally, if I give a
movie a "one claw" ^ rating, it wasn't even worth the time. (Naturally, all
these ratings represent my personal opinion, and I don't expect everyone
will agree with them.)

Format:
Title (Director, Studio, Date, MPAA Rating): Species/Notes. Claw rating.

(Note: This represents the "ideal" format, but I don't have all of this
information in every case, and in some cases I've noticed that what I list
as the "studio" may actually be the video distributor. Please send me email
if you have corrections or additions. Entries that are made for TV are
listed with "TV" in place of the MPAA rating.)
