HAHA!! That was sweet!! They did awesome fer being in full fursuits. I gotta mention that shot with the lady staring at the Wolf sitting on the bus...You can only imagine wat she was thinking

I bet they were warm. I like how the tails swing around after them.

that is beyond freaking awesome and that looks so much fun...

Oh man that looks like so much fun!!!
Dangit, now I want to go skiing or something comparably fun in my suit!

From my personal theater experience, their is NO way they would need a coat. Those things are HOT (especially under stage lights )

I can't ski as it is, let alone in a Fur Suit! That's amazing!

Well, at least its warm in that suit.

i bet they attraced a lot of attention there

I wonder if any of them wiped out and messed up their costume. That would have sucked. At least they didn't have to worry about getting too hot inside the suits.

how do you clean that....
*walks into dry cleaners* yeah i need my Fox fur siut cleaned.


wonder how much that would cost

Sweet Mother of Pearl thats an awsome video! Furries might just be making a comback.

Somehow that doesn't seem safe. It's not the fursuiters I'm worrying about -- it's all those people that were pointing and starring at the fursuiters when they faceplanted into a tree.

Yeah thats true.

Person: What the....?
Furry: hey watch out for that...!
Person:*poof*, ugh
Furry:....tree.

sweet video! that's rock n roll!

If anyone was wondering, the song used was Genetic Blueprint by Fear Factory

Might teach them an important lesson in courtesy and minding their own business if that happens...

Thanks.

I thought it was great as well.

Could it be that furries are the next movement? I remember when Anime outside of Japan was a niche market, and one could only find bootleg copies and fan-subbed, blurry and staticky, fourth generation VHS tapes. Now you can find an Anime section in any place that has DVDs--Best Buy, Wal-Mart, and so forth.

Furries and anthros dominate a substantial portion of DeviantArt. Furries have conventions, like Further Confusion. I think it's a niche that's on the verge of breaking mainstream. They could help push awareness of therianthropy as well. We'll be the osteopaths of their medicine.

Possibly. Furry used to be completely underground too, but now it's been introduced to popular culture as a bad joke. Right now there's a lot of misinformation about the fandom, but once that's cleared up, people won't be so hesitant to associate with it, and that will open up the possibility of furry as a market demograph once it's clear just how many people are in the fandom.

It might reach the same point as anime, assuming the anime market doesn't get any larger. Video stores do have anime sections now, but you can still kind of tell they regard anime fans as a small geek demograph. The typical anime section at a video store will only take up one shelf, and at least 1/3 of the titles on that shelf will end in "mon." If there's ever a furry market, it'll probably be a lot like that -- two or three decent titles in with a bunch of generic bologna.

I admitingly would like to see a few good movies with the traditional anthro characters. Cartoon or live action, just as long as it's decent. Hell, I'd be into an Albedo movie. I don't mind if furry goes mainstream, just stop making so much porn.
