The first thing I thought of on seeing this was Fantastic Mr. Fox and Wes Anderson has to be involved.
This could very well have some basis in Furry. Prey/predator was one of the themes I saw right away after joining the fandom, but then that's true of many fairy tales with animal societies, long before modern fandoms.
I'm ready for some good transformation right now! I've been celebrating Scooby Doo's 50th anniversary by watching his shows and movies. I just saw Scooby Doo And The Alien Invaders.
Its always struck me as odd there aren't many furries in Japan. They're obsessed with Disney and cutesy athromorphic things, yet they seem to be immune to it.
