Distinction between "funny animal" and "furry"
This distinction should be maintained in this article. As stated in the article, funny animal is a professional term and has different connotations than furry . Please keep this in mind with future edits of this article. This is not an article about furry and the only reason it is mentioned is because of the common misconception (seen in the article stub that I edited) that funny animals and furries are indistinguishable. -- Krishva 06:55, May 1, 2005 (UTC)
"funny animal" and "furry" are the same thing
For over two decades, furry fandom has been defined as the appreciation, promotion, and production of stories and art about anthropomorphic animals, as well as the exploration, interpretation and examination of humanity and human values through anthropomorphic expression. There is no appreciable difference between "funny animal" and "furry."
Additional information and clarification can be found here and here. Xydexx 01:58, 7 May 2005 (UTC)
Here's a post I made in the Furry Fandom discussion too. I would like to add that I have Never heard anyone use the word's "funny animal" or "talking animal" in a conversation to refer to anthropomorphic characters. I have however heard the word's "cartoon animal" and "furry" or "anthro" which is why I started looking up the "furry" word. I don't know why "funny animal" or "talking animal" are used as slang for anthropomorphics on Wikipedia when if you Google those words you get something completely different than Wikipedia's entries on them. But if you Google "cartoon animal" you get exactly what you are looking for. What is Wikipedia's reasoning for this obvious inaccuracy? 68.199.46.6 19:01, 31 July 2005 (UTC)
Furries are a bunch of disgusting gays. What the fuck has dressing up in animal costumes (and then having sex with each other), "FurCons", anime-esque pornography, etc. got to do with - for example - Bugs Bunny or Mickey Mouse? - 81.178.247.121 06:41, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
I know it's a little late to chime in on this, but just for the benefit of anyone happening on this discussion, the difference between Furry and Funny Animals is that Furry is a conglomeration of interests, including Funny Animals, animal characters in science fiction, allegorical talking animal fiction and quite a few other things that involve all manner of anthropomorphic animals. Funny Animals refers specifically to animal characters in comics (Animals in The Funnies) but sometime around the 60's it also started to be used to refer to all cartoon animals, mainly in the press. Though I've never heard it used by Disney animators in any of their bonus documentaries. To this day they still primarily use Cartoon Animal in discussions of animation.

Turtles
I don't know much about this subject, but I am curious, if Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles really belong to this list. It seems that they are different from other listed anthropomorphic animals, because they don't live in a world where there is virtually no distinction between humans and animals, like for example Looney Tunes universe. Also, the authors have tried to explain why those turtles act human and that doesn't apply to other funny animals listed. --U.U. 17:06, August 11, 2005 (UTC)
Breaking into a separate list?
Shouldn't that be done? • Eke vu • ♥ • ★ 12:26, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
- I also think there should be a different article relating to CGI animal adventure movies, which are a different topic and also, the link for the 2000's fads page, which has this on there, links to this which doesn't relate to the title of "CGI animal ..."
Possible Name Change Idea (bear with me, it's not "Furry")
I find that whenever this kind of creature is brought up, they are simply desribed as Anthropomorphic. Wouldn't it make more sense if this entry was titled something like "Anthopomorphic animal", instead of "Funny animal", which is significantly less used?
Usage of Term "Furries" by the Press
I'm reverted the edits as the press has been referring to funny animals as "furries" in recent articles about CGI movies which feature them (such as Over The Hedge and Open Season ), video games (Final Fantasy XII and Star Fox Command), and perhaps most frequently the popular online game Second Life. This isn't really surprising, as people have been using the term "furry" as a synonym for "funny animal" for the past twenty-something years, and the world's largest furry convention received significant media attention earlier this year.
I've also added a minor clarification to the third paragraph: Furry fandom is not an "internet-based" subculture (at least no more than any others are, considering Everyone And Their Dog Flippy has internet access these days). It is very much based in the offline world of small press publishing and comics.
Anyway, hope this helps. Let me know if you need more information. —Xydexx 19:05, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
You can refer to these characters as being because furry is an adjective pertaining something covered with fur. Or do you mean the furry fandom? comment was added by Possiblyyourbestfriend 03:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Question about inclusion of live action films
Why are live-action films like Babe in the list of funny animal media? "Funny animal" is a cartooning term, usually applying to humanized or semi-humanized animals like Bugs Bunny or Snoopy. Babe may be a talking animal, but he isn't a funny animal except perhaps in the most literal sense. I can understand Stuart Little being included since he is in fact animated next to a live action cast in the film, but most of the others are just realistic animals given voices or sci-fi/fantasy flicks not involving cartooning at all. --Krishva 17:50, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
Deleting the funny animal list
I knew this was coming... Someone deleted the funny animal list. I propose we create a seperate list for funny animals. So what name do you think should we call it? here are some suggestions: List of funny animals in media? List of funny animals?
Non-fair use image
The bugs bunny image is not fair use. Copyrighted images require substantial prose supporting them, or to be irreplaceable for identifying the subject of the article. - brenneman 23:27, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Fiddlesticks Image
Should this image be removed? WP:FU says that film and television screenshots may be used for critical commentary and discussion of the cinema and television. That doesn't appear to be what this article is using it for. Either way, it has no fair use rationale.--Unscented (talk) 22:
