Animated features that qualify for the 2014 Oscar: thoughts from Fred Patten
by Patch O'Furr
Oscar-related movie news: 2014 brought a wonderful new level of recognition for furries. Finsterworld was short listed for German nominee for best foreign picture. This smart, outrageous and thoughtful art-house drama was developed by consulting furries, who worked with the director to put fursuiters in the film. It may be a somewhat obscure title to North American audiences, but it makes up with quality. The movie is excellent, not just because it’s furry… it’s worth a watch for anyone who’s into smart movies.
Fred Patten, historian and mega-respected elder fan, sent in the below piece.
