British retail department store John Lewis has developed a reputation in the last few years for incredibly emotional tear jerking advertisements around the holiday season.

This year they've got the British furry fandom going all starry eyed.

The animation of the hare in particular is reminiscent of Watership Down.

Click here to continue the story http://bit.ly/1c4u55G Watch the new John Lewis Christmas TV advert and see Hare give his best friend Bear a Christmas he'll never forget. Set in a beautiful forest, poor Bear is the only animal that never gets to celebrate Christmas because he has to hibernate every year.

if you ever wanted to give an intelligent answer to the meme, this article provides all the answers, plus some facts you may never had considered before.

I will also leave you with the conclusion which asks a more pressing question, why don't we know what the fox says? 

 

That's what sound the fox makes! But equally interesting is why most people don't know what sound the fox makes. It's a widespread, enormously successful and adaptive species, living worldwide, in all sorts of climates, in forests, on mountains, in suburbs and sometimes even cities. Americans and Europeans are very familiar with the red fox. And unlike, say, a raccoon, it's a highly vocal animal. So how come we have no idea what it sounds like?[...]

 

Foxes are common and cute, they feature in myths and we have gone to extreme lengths to make them our pets, but the noises they make are sort of...awful. The red fox does not have a mellifluous voice; even when it's happy, it mostly sounds like it's being strangled. It would be awkward to teach your young child that the cow goes moo, the frog goes croak, and the fox goes YAAGGAGHHGHHHHHHAHHHH!!!!!

Author: rodney Comic books are getting silly again, or at least getting weird. Later this month DC Comics presents the premier issue of  a new bi-monthly full-color series, Scooby-Doo Team-Up. Here’s what they say about it: “Rumors of a giant bat-creature bring Scooby and the gang on the run—but Batman and Robin are already on […]

A fortnight ago the team behind Fuck Yeah Fursuiting were asked about their opinions on 'fursuit snark' blogs.

My favourite response come from Growly:

Once in a while a suit will pop up that will make me giggle… I chuckle and move on, I think it’s tacky to leave rude comments in the open and I really try not to. I admit I’ve struggled with this and have occasionally let my opinions loose. It’s too easy to forget these costumes were made by real people who tried really really hard and put their heart into their work. While I think some costumes are pretty funny looking, it’s still really cool that they made something from nothing with their own two hands. Making Things is pretty much my reason for living, so it is cool to see other people discovering that love too. I wanna be a better, nicer person and find something good about everybody’s work :)

I like Growly's take because it goes beyond the usual victimisation responses you might read on an FA journal, instead opting to takes a balanced and reasoned approach. Instead of moaning Growly writes with reasons and balance, explaining why cheap snarks are detrimental to the learning development of fursuit makers and risk discouraging the future Mixed Candies from emerging.

I think fursuit critique blogs have their right to exist and can be enjoyable or informative. I wouldn't be afraid to add one to the link directory. Just that too often the tone is less about being a critique and instead being snarky (especially tumblr ones) and frankly they think too highly of themselves and aren't as funny as they believe they are.

A music art video featuring a puppet tiger operated by 3 shadow hands. The tiger’s body language is executed spot on and despite the artist decision to purposely allow the puppeteers to be visible you still feel that model has life in it.

Directed by
Guilherme Marcondes

Screenplay
Guilherme Marcondes and Andrezza Valentin
Inspired by William Blake's "The Tyger"
