Game dev has become so accessible over the past decade. With the advent of so many intuitive tools, code learning resources, and a community of passionate creators just like Zephyrix, who developed Ronny’s Climb and offered to let us give it a try, we as gamers are able to play so many games now as a result. Not every game promises to be as big as World of Warcraft or as high tech as Crysis 2 (throwback for the millennials!) but there’s nothing more pleasant and satisfying than a tightly crafted experience that oozes love and dedication to a vision, no matter how small. Ronny’s Climb is a perfect little example of this, as its platforming, writing, pixel graphics, and good, old fashioned 16-bit musical backing is a great experience all around.

Sometimes you just wanna be a panda dancing to the beat as you eagerly explore a lush island dotted with other friendly pandas, helping them solve little problems while you search for your Nana. That’s the experience of Dancing Pandas: Ranger’s Path as you take on the role of Mico, who has arrived at the island in search of his grandmother after a mysterious letter arrived for him. The game is a nice and cozy stroll (and soar) from start to finish, lasting about 4-5 hours if you’re trying to find most of the stuff on the island. If this style of casual exploration and chatting with quirky characters is your vibe, Dancing Pandas will aptly scratch that itch for a couple good gaming sessions at a nice price ($12.99 MSRP.)

The gameplay consists of walking around the panda-filled island, which is actually much bigger than expected at first glance, and completing tasks to gain “Courage Hearts” that will allow you to do more confident things, like attempting harder tasks or asking more personal questions to fellow pandas. As you explore, you’ll pick up collectibles and find more pandas to talk to, which will give you helpful tips, some intriguing dialogue backstory, or allow you to purchase new tools or costumes. These little moments added to the world feel, and were sometimes more deep than I expected on the surface. It felt like a nice, quirky, lived-in slice of life for these pandas, and I couldn’t have been more chill while enjoying the gameplay style the game employed. The stakes were never too high, and the ability to fast travel after uncovering a portion of the map (using gems I had collected to buy the section) was a welcome option. I did want to make a note that the game doesn’t seem to autosave enough, and you have to go in and manually save in the menu to ensure it does. When I completed the game, there was no way for me to go back and save or continue after finishing, which was unfortunate, because I wanted to finish off a few more achievements.

Other than the obviously cute, wiggly, and adorably designed panda folks that inhabit it, Dancing Pandas’ World is a colorful blast of foliage and flora, with the various areas of the island covering all types of scenery, including sandy beaches, autumnal mountainsides, green valleys, and tropical seascapes. Eventually, you befriend a lovely bird named Sofi, who will help you find any valuable collectibles you may have missed nearby. The game helps you as much as you want it to with completing quests and exploring the island, which is helpful, because some of the items to collect are pretty small and can be easy to miss if you don’t know you’re looking for them for a quest. I wish there was actually more to purchase with my gems other than map pieces and a few Ranger outfit pieces, but I’m not expecting a huge wardrobe from a game like this, admittedly. Also, your movement is based on the camera’s orientation, which was a problem a few times when my camera would whip around because it hit an overhanging structure that would cause it to reorientate. It never caused any huge trouble, but it was a minor annoyance. I also ran into a quest later in the game where I had to figure out where someone was based on context clues and a dialogue box, and the dialogue box didn’t seem to be based on where this person was in the world, once I finally found them. I spent about 30 minutes running around on a random cliff, heh. In the end, I could’ve found them quickly if I knew where to look, but I seemed to be being pulled in a different direction at first. Overall, the small issues I had were just that: small.

As you explore, you’ll be audibly whisked away by the soundtrack, which composer Tom Schipper did a beautiful job with. Luckily as well, the game doesn’t crowd the peaceful music with tons of unnecessary sound effects, and as such you’ll really get to be carried by its flowing, melodic pace as you complete your tasks. Sometimes this lack of sound effects can seem like something’s missing, like a practical beep or snap or the like when completing an action or task. Overall, the music made up for anything I felt was lacking in the sound department, and I appreciated the touches that were there.

Dancing Pandas: Ranger’s Path is what you want in a cozy game like this: a little, lively world to explore, a few tasks to complete at your own pace, and an achievable goal to pursue. All the while you get to talk with panda people and be one yourself! You don’t get to do that in every game, right? At a price of $12.99, it’s a perfectly pleasing piece of gaming goodness.

The Ace Attorney franchise doesn’t feature any anthropomorphic characters. Sure, it can get zany and feature strange stuff at times but for the most part it opts to be somewhat realistic with its cases. There aren’t any werewolves walking around or talking animals taking the spotlight. But there are characters who are animal tamers or otherwise work with animals that play pivotal roles in the cases they’re in. There are characters with names and attributes that clearly take inspiration from the animal kingdom. Animals themselves even show up as crucial evidence or get put on the witness stand. I intend to highlight those cases and characters here. Minor spoilers ahead for several games in the franchise, though I won’t delve too deeply into the cases themselves or discuss major plot points.

Spoiler Free Separation Review

RoobrickMarine’s Separation is a story about reunion and yes, if you can believe it, separation. The novella is hosted on AO3, so it’s available for free if you’d like to give it a read yourself. The setting is 16th-century Rennaissance Italy. It is tagged History But Everyone Is Dogs, and star-crossed lovers for main characters Machete and Vasco.

Over a decade since he split from the only man he ever loved, Machete is now a cardinal in the political mire that is the Catholic Church. He has worked tirelessly to secure his own position and work towards his goals, having abandoned the idea of ever seeing his love again. Things are shaken up, however, when there is an attempt on his life. Now, plots will be uncovered, friendships will be tested, and something abandoned will suddenly be rekindled…

Here’s what character artist Canisalbus said about Separation:

What if I told you that RoobrickMarine went and wrote an entire novella starring my 16th century dog couple? It’s very canon-adjacent, well researched and thoughtfully put together, has inspired me a ton during these past months and it’s now publicly available at AO3. I highly recommend it.

It’s not a terribly grim story, but it doesn’t have a particularly happy ending. However, it does have a dessert at the end for you to enjoy if you want to see the boys thriving.

Overall, the story stands out for its strengths. The mystery and suspense is strong and getting to read a story about Vasco and Machete is really wonderful. I found myself rereading some of the lines in the story because they were just so fun. I particularly enjoyed the flashbacks and the retelling of the two’s history. The present time of the story is not safe or comfortable on purpose, so those escapes to simpler times are powerful.

Thanks to CanisAlbus

My only complaint really, which is more of an observation of the format than a real quibble, is that the story feels limited. I have written stories after pieces of art before and I can relate to one of the goals of this novella. Its goal is to create a story and a stronger context for the art amazing CanisAlbus has made of these two lovely dog boys. In that way, it does feel somewhat restrained. But yes, my big complaint is rooted in “I want more” and I’d love for that more to be wed with more art and context for their lives. An artistic endeavor that we may have to wait for in the form of a more direct work from CanisAlbus, since these babymen are theirs. No shame though, I’m just glad we get to enjoy them at all.

I like to give stories ratings based on where my expectations lay. I’m giving this story:

4 out of 1

I don’t mean to get down on fanfic or anything, it’s valid as a form of writing, I too have written fanfic. You go into the work expecting a certain level of “orbs” and this story didn’t really fall into that trap. Even with my previously stated issues, the format holding back the story, it was a great work. I think with some plot rework and scene adjustment this might even become a 5 out of 1.

I haven’t read anything else by RoobrickMarine, and am not sure how to find out more about them as a creative. It might be this is the pseudonym of an already accomplished author, you never know on the internet. However, this work has an opening note that it’s their first completed work, with a threat that they might rewrite it someday. I hope they do rewrite it and I hope they put it out there, because this is not the kind of work that should go unpublished. I would like to have a copy of this story on hard cover someday, with all kinds of glossy little jpegs within.

Please, I’m begging you.

Make it happen.

Ever have a game come along that instantly you know you’re going to enjoy thoroughly, to the point of calling it one of your favorite games of the year, if not of all time? Well, that’s what happened to me with Tails Of Iron II: Whiskers Of Winter, a game I originally wasn’t too interested in but now I can’t stop playing. Seriously, I never found myself wanting to keep playing a game, even after the credits rolled, as much as I did with this one.

But she is plagued by rumors that she is the granddaughter of Gumiho, the infamous nine-tailed fox demon who was killed by her father years before…” Take a look for yourself over at Harper Collins.

Quite a while ago we learned about the Wereworld series of young adult dark fantasy novels by Curtis Jobling. Well, now Netflix has just dropped a trailer for Wolf King, the brand new animated series based on those very same books. “In a land once subjugated by werelords, sixteen-year-old Drew Ferran realizes he is the last member in a long ancestral line of werewolves. Drew must confront and overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Lionlords and take back the throne as the statutory wolf king.” The series is set to premier on March 20th.

Outside of first person shooters, another genre of games I enjoy playing are the Fighting games. Games like Street Fighter VI, Mortal Kombat 11, Smash Bros. Ultimate, and the 2013 incarnation of Killer Instinct are some of my favorites to play (Not online as I am nowhere near THAT skill level yet to even attempt anyone online) now and then and I do get interested whenever a new fighting game is announced. However, sometimes, one can slip under my radar and go unnoticed by me for who knows how long and today’s game is one such game: Mostrocopy. I had no idea this was even in development until a friend told me about it and I gotta say? This is a fun fighting game though it has some minor issues that do affect my enjoyment.

BFFT S5E18 - Live From Get Out The Float 2025

Hello Papabear,

My Aunt on my mom's side got married a couple years ago and they now have two young kids together. I want to be in their lives and be their cool uncle type of archetype. I want to lead them to the furry fandom by showing them animated movies and shows with anthropomorphic animals. Do you have any good recommendations to start them out with?

Warrior Bird

* * *

Dear Warrior Bird,

First off, abandon ye all notions of "leading" them to the furry fandom. It's okay to show them movies and TV shows and comic books etc., but don't do so with the goal of indoctrinating them. That's no better than the father who tries to force his bookish son to love football. If they like animated anthro movies and TV shows, great, but don't try to force it. I just wanted to be clear on that before continuing.

NOW then! I think a nice approach would be to combine old school and new school films and TV. I'm just going to recommend a couple of movies so as not to overwhelm. From the Old School:

1. Animalympics (1980): A furry classic that was written for TV, this feature-length cartoon has animals of all species competing in summer and winter games. It features the wonderful voice talents of Gilda Radner, Billy Crystal, Harry Shearer, and Michael Fremer, and its funny and has a lot of heart. You can watch the full movie for free on YouTube here: Animalympics
2. Disney's Robin Hood (1973): The classic that turned many young people into furries from way back, this terrific tale features the voice talents of Peter Ustinov (OMG his Prince John characterization is brilliant!), Phil Harris, Pat Butram, Terry-Thomas, and Brian Bedford (as Robin). My main complaint about the film, though, is that it was made during a period when Disney (the company) thought it could save money by redrawing scenes from earlier films. That's why, if you compare Robin Hood to 1967's The Jungle Book, you'll see many of the exact same physical motions, especially in the dance scene.

Moving ahead a bit into the 1990s, I recommend:

1. The Lion King (1994), which is basically a version of Hamlet set in the African savannah with talking animals, but it's well done and has music by Elton John.
2. A Goofy Movie (1995): I'm honestly not a big Goofy fan, but so many furries I know absolutely adore this film that I have to recommend it even though it is not to my taste.

More recent stuff:

1. Zootopia (2016): Not too many animated films — even with talking animals — are set in worlds populated only by animals. Disney's Robin Hood is one and Zootopia does it quite brilliantly. Probably a film that was conceived specifically for furries and recognizes the growing economic influence of our fandom (i.e., e.g., studio execs saw there was money to be made by appealing to furries).
2. Ratatouille (2007): A common rat with a nose for food tries to make it as a chef in Paris. What's not to love?
3. Sing (2016): This one is also set in an all-anthro world, but what really makes this film is a good story and strong characters trying to find success in a singing competition.
4. Turning Red (2022): Many furries are into transformation stories, and this is the ultimate transformation story about a little girl in Canada who inherits the family "curse" of turning into a red panda when she starts to reach adulthood. The theme is quite obvious: the pains and conflicts we all go through in our relationships with family and peers as we leave childhood behind to find who we truly are. There has been some criticism from red panda furries who didn't like the way the panda character was drawn, but I thought she was cute.
5. Cat's Don't Dance (1997): This underrated film about a cat from Indiana trying to make it in Hollywood musicals of the 1930s is just brilliant. The music is fantastic, the characters are loveable, and the theme about the injustices of prejudice are poignant.

Okay, this is OBVIOUSLY not everything, but it hits some highlights. Also, wait until they are a bit older before showing them classics like the original Watership Down--a must-see for older teens. I would like to mention that I am thrilled that I have gotten Furry Founder Rod O'Riley to write Movies for Furries: An A to Z Guide, which will be released by my publishing house, Uncle Bear Publishing, hopefully by in time for Christmas (he's on the F's at the moment). You will definitely get a lot of helpful hints from his book when it is released!

You also asked about "shows," which I take to mean TV shows, yes? There are some current popular ones in the fandom from Japan — Beastars and BNA: Brand New Animal — but these are way too mature for little kids. So are some popular furrie cartoons like Helluva Boss and, hopefully soon, Lackadaisy from the comic book by Tracy Butler. It has a pilot on YouTube LACKADAISY (Pilot) and some mini episodes, but I think money is making for a slow go. Anyway, you want something for the kids, so here's my "starter pack":

1. Bugs Bunny and the Warner Bros. cartoons of the 1940s and 1950s, especially. No furry repertoire is complete without watching these classics of the wascally wabbit, Road Runner, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Foghorn Leghorn and the rest of the gang. Make sure they watch the opera satires, especially. And, yes, there are cartoons from the 1960s and into the present day, but you gotta start with these.
2. Kimba the White Lion (originally aired 1965-66): The story of a young lion who tries to find peace between humans and animals in Africa. 
3. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (first aired on TV 1987-1996): Conceived by comic book writers Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird in 1984, this story of turtles mutating into ninja warriors after being contaminated by polution and then being trained by an anthro rat in martial arts became a phenomenon spawning movies and merchandise. Unfortunately, some furry cartoonists and other independent artists also attribute the success to TMNT, which started as an indie comic, for destroying the indie comic industry. Nevertheless, it is a highly influential anthro cartoon that is worth watching.
4. Sonic the Hedgehog: Debuting as a videogame in 1991, it also became a Saturday morning cartoon in the early 1990s and is probably the first superior example of videogame-turned-TV-cartoon that has proven influential to the furry fandom.
5. Pokémon the Series: Another cultural phenomenon is this Japanese series that began as a trading card and videogame. The TV series debuted in 1997 and is ongoing.

More recent animated series that furries get into include:

1. Bluey (2018): From Australia, this series is very happy and optimistic, and the simple animation style should appeal to very young viewers.
2. Paw Patrol (2013-): From Canada, the story gives you a cast of talking puppies who help rescue people. Adorbs.

And, I just want to mention some puppetry stuff, including anything with Muppets (like Fraggle Rock), Bear in the Big Blue House, and of course Sesame Street.

I could go on and on about this topic, but that's enough for now. Oh, there is a helpful Web page with lots of info on movies, TV shows, comic books, and Web content that appeals to furries: Popular with Furries - TV Tropes. This is not just kid stuff, but there is a lot here that is useful to peruse.

Thanks for your question! I hope this was helpful.

Hugs,
Papabear
