    Felidae and Watership down (the old version). Let me explain:

    TV shows like rescue rangers, gummy bears and similar definitely played a big role, but the two above mentioned movies played a huge role in how I first thought about the furry fandom.

    Felidae and the old version of Watership down, for those who are not familiar with it, are not for kids. However, I ended up watching them as a kid on TV, staying up late. I don’t remember in which order I watched them, but I did so years apart and both haunted me in some horrifying but fascinating way.

    Anyways, many years later when I stumbled upon my first ever adult furry content site I could not understand who would watch this. I liked it, but I thought I was odd and that there would be no way other people would like such a thing as well. And so I ended up convincing myself that the site only existed to give animators of adult animated movies like Felidae and Watership down some drawing practice, but that it was strictly a professional matter xD

      I have yet to see either of these two you mention, although I know they exist.

      Hard to say, but I think a big influence was “The Rescuers” movie that came out in 1977, I was pretty into it as a kid. Essentially I’ve been a furry for as long as I’ve been alive, I just didn’t have a word for it until I found the fandom.
