All of the old Looney Toons
Surfs Up
An American Tale
Animal Farm
Dinosaur
And just to be even more specific, here are the ones where there are no humans and animals walk on two legs.
Robin Hood
Chicken Little
Kung Fu Panda 1 and 2
The Entire concept of the original Disney characters (Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck ect)[/QUOTE]
Yeah, but 98% of those movies have humans in it. Some granted, don't... but, a modernized kind of thing? I think its an interesting take. Its not new, no, but its interesting. I think it looks pretty funny and kinda cute.
Who really cares lol the whole "never been seen be-fur" thing is literally just a marketing pun
[QUOTE=pansarkurt;47931292]Kinda wierd how they talk about anthropomorphic characters like it's something new and groundbreaking.[/QUOTE]
It's probably teaching the younger audience (and even the older audience) the proper word for it.
A lot of those animals had the same walking animation as they had on the Robin Hood movie Disney did back in the 70's. Which is cool.
No birds? Racist....
So when do the furry characters starts having weird triple genders and hybrids?
Wait, why do these animals act like humans? This premise needed to be explained in more detail !
So does this mean we're getting the first racist main character in a kid's show?

It's like when like half of FP thought that Fallout 4 is going to have a talking protagonist because of the "Lets go, pal." line happened. it was literally just there to show companionship.
I hope the natural rivarly is the central point of the movie. Would be interesting if all the characters feared or wanted to pick on someone just cause.
[QUOTE=pansarkurt;47931292]Kinda wierd how they talk about anthropomorphic characters like it's something new and groundbreaking.[/QUOTE]
Because they're distinctly removing from furry spheres, ala back in the day when liking Ninja Turtles didn't mean anything else other than that, before people with distinctly ridiculous fetishes co-opted the entire genre and it pretty much lost mass market appeal.
[quote] giant list of talking animals [/quote]
The only ->anthropomorphic<- movies on that list that is a DISNEY movie is Robin Hood, which is 40 years old. Disney likes to believe Dreamworks doesn't exist, and they haven't put out anything like this is in ever. Anthropomorphic and talking animals aren't even kind of the same thing; nor are they associated with same cultural connotations.

Well its a bit more than that, apparently there was a leak a while ago that "spilled the beans" behind fallout 4, and they said in the leak that the player character was being voiced
[url]https://www.reddit.com/r/Fallout/comments/38dd29/the_fake_employee_leaker_from_last_year/[/url]
Cue Fallout 4 being announced and literally everything we know so far is true from that leak
Guess we won't know for sure till next week at E3

that looks so fake.
[QUOTE=Lord of Boxes;47933975]that looks so fake.[/QUOTE]
Cool, shame the leak isn't
[url]http://kotaku.com/leaked-documents-reveal-that-fallout-4-is-real-set-in-1481322956[/url]
And turns out everything so far has been true
Now whether or not there are big chunks in there that are fake is to be determined but the leak isn't fake if that is what you are implying
[editline]11th June 2015[/editline]
That is why most people are "freaking out" over a voiced protagonist by the way, because the trailer implies that the leak was true
[QUOTE=Super Muffin;47931329]Disney first did Robin Hood in 1973.
I think everyone is familiar enough with animals that walk and talk.[/QUOTE]
[I]that's[/I] it, the proportions/stylization of this was definitely robin hood
though, robin hood came out after many other films and plenty of general cartoons that guided 'modern' anthro styling. Hell, Little John from RH was traced for a number of scenes from Jungle Book's Baloo, though that's apparently attributed as a disney tradition of throwing back to older classics, and not a rotoscoping cop-out. Still love it for what it's worth. (also Maid Marian dancing with the smaller animals was rotoscoped from snow white dancing with the dwarves)

Horse dad...
Brb going to Hollywood.
I like how they assume that if humans never existed all other animals would have evolved into critical thinking anthropomorphic humanoids things. My guess is mice would have evolved into something like us and after something with intelligence takes control of the world I don't see how any other species could evolve intelligence.

I doubt they assume anything, I'm sure they just want to make a cutesy movie with talking animals.
Needless to say R34 of this movie is already off the rails.
Calling it now, the rabbit and fox fall in love now give me my paycheck of disney cliche 451
[QUOTE=Gamerman12;47931274]was it though? i dont remember it being particularly bad. bare in mind i haven't seen it in ages.[/QUOTE]
Kinda the big problem with that movie (aside from the really obvious case of Dreamworks envy with all the pop music and popculture references) is that the rather important character of the father, while clearly intended to be semi antagonistic, ended up coming across as just downright abusive and self absorbed, organization, pacing, and direction of the story was iffy as well.
Either way, pretty much what everyone else is already saying, they seem to be advertising this like the big deal is the animal characters, when those have been the bread and butter for kids stuff, and Disney in particular, for about as long as they've existed. While I'd certainly like to hope they're going to pull a Frozen and have it turn out that the trailers are deliberately misleading to hide what the story is actually about, we won't really know until it actually releases.

That Fox is going to end up eating that rabbit. One way or another :zoid:

Well according to the plot;
[quote=IMBD]"In the animal city of Zootopia, a fast-talking fox who's trying to make it big goes on the run when he's framed for a crime he didn't commit. Zootopia's top cop, a self-righteous rabbit, is hot on his tail, but when both become targets of a conspiracy, they're forced to team up and discover even natural enemies can become best friends."[/quote]
[QUOTE=ClauAmericano;47931321]I just can't enjoy Chicken Little as much as I use to as a kid.
There are several things I can mention, but the one thing I hated the most about the movie is the father.
Fuck the father.[/QUOTE]

Not to mention that the CGI hasn't aged well and the character designs are horrid. Watching this with campers as camp staff made it look like I was in the middle of a Disney ride gone wrong.
That rabbit and fox are totally gonna fuck.
All jokes aside, the characterisation within just the walk cycles alone was really well done.
Feels like "disney does dreamworks" to me... not getting any sorta disney vibe off this teaser.
