WOO! :D

Well-p, I know what I'm putting in my Watch Later list!
-
It's pretty fun. I like the music too. :-)

I only watched like parts of it. That film is like a urban legend in the furry fandom. It's been around for years and the film director doesn't like talking about it. More because he viewed it as his rough warm up work compared to superior works of his.

I can kind of understand that. Sometimes it's weird when people talk to me of some of the things I drew over 10 years ago as if it were just drawn yesterday. Personally, I think one of the reasons why Animalympics is well, pretty good, was because it was done by " non-furry " folk. I dunno if that makes sense but I think since the writers & animators weren't furries ( well, actually... I dunno if that's true ) that they were able to make the movie more... authentic without being biased or catering to a specific audience ( other than kids ).

It's how they view the work differently from the artist's mind creates it. I also do believe that people who don't know too much about understanding arts. They will look at the surface art and figure out how you did created that surface, instead of understanding how the knowledge was used to create form and shapes behind the drawing.
I did joked on what if Animalympics remake did happen today handled by the real furries. There would be too much fetishes, sexual jokes, lot of things that would rub non-furries the wrong way. LoL. It would be shelved quickly by the non-furries before it can be seen and now become as a lost film.
I think it's a great thing on what you're saying that the writers and animators weren't furries. Because it is their job to make it watchable for all kinds of people who can enjoy it on different levels. Even ones who are not into the sports and furries as shown in the film. Same thing with Walt Kelly's Pogo, that comic strip does appeal to many different kind of people and age ranges. Those were from the eras, where dirty talks are so super rare. When those kind of dirty talks happen in those eras, they were often tamer or used only few times very carefully in its context.

The other thing about Animalympics is that, and I may be wrong but, I kinda think that furries may not have really been a thing back in the 70s. And if it was, it was really underground. I don't really know much about the history of furries. My art just looks like furry stuff but I never really did it with the thought that I was a furry or anything. :-)

I'm sure furries is a thing in the 70's, however it's possible it wasn't called furries yet. Because there's this Fritz the Cat doing adult things, any cartoon animals would be doing things on the adult levels. I do believe you're talking about underground comics in the 70's and maybe 60's. They were breaking so much of the comic code rules back than. I don't think myself as a underground comic reader, I read only couple of them. Richard Corben is one of my favorite comic artists. Again, it is most likely there's people really did furry stuff in the 70's way before 80's. There's myths and rumors of disney artists making furry porn maybe in the 30's to 50's.
Earliest prototype furry cons were born out of the science fiction cons in the 80's. They were very small and easier to know anyone in the furry fandom. I do wish that anybody should have written history books on the furry fandom of the 80's/90's. It would have offer more wonderful insight in the earliest days of the furry fandom.
Yes, your art does look like furry stuff that furries makes, or some artist who worked at any art companies in the 70's and 80's. You don't need to be called furry in order to make furry arts. Looney Tunes artists can be thought as furry artists even those artists never think that way. I did furry stuff as a kid, I would role-play as a mutant cat. Heck, I would dream of myself transforming into a mutant cat, because of the TMNT stuff before middle school. During middle school years I did discovered furry fandom, was impressed by negative rep that it gets. Thankfully I shrug it off and quietly do furry things during middle and high school years, however I still draw furry art in public as long it's all SFW. No one ever brother me for it. They move on as I make furry arts.
Furry is just this silly label in a way furries wants any label for themselves. I don't always call myself furry, I just say I draw cartoon animals, or mutant animals to the non-furries. The history of humankind have been making furry arts for ages before it ever got the label for it, in Egypt people wore animal masks on the walls. Indians channel animal spirit into themselves. List goes on and on. You're a furry artist to many furries, because you made furry arts from what they can see. That's how they choose to view that way. There's many furry artists out there admitted they don't think themselves as furry artists. They made Anthropomorphic/cartoon animals/mutant animals arts as they thought they're making them that way.
Heck, I'm sure any underground artists did think of themselves as the cartoon animal having sex with other cartoon animals in the 60's and 70's. In a way they never call themselves furries doing it that way. I'm sure there's artists today doing it and be like I'm not a furry. LoL

Hmmm... all opf this makes me wonder if there is some sort of documentation of the beginnings of furrydom. :-)

There are old filmed footage of the 80's and 90's furry cons and inside look news on them found and posted on youtube by many people over time. They're interesting to look at. Not very much of them, but important for the furry history's sake. If you're interested in seeing them, I can try and find some of them and post it here. There are still veteran 80's and 90's furries lurking around in the fandom as long we know where to look. They do have their own personal stories and history to share with the newer furries. It's never too late to talk and collect information from, as long it is from the actual sources that is true facts enough and not rumors.

I may look them up one of these days. :-)
