It's not the lack of anthropomorphism I have a problem with; it's the lack of animal...ism. Which is the exact opposite of my problem with How To Train Your Dragon; 2009's winner lacked animal-based characters, while 2010 lacked anthropomorphic characters.
For the record, however, I actually voted for How To Train Your Dragon; despite the fact that it wasn't truly furry at the basic "anthropomorphic animal" level, there wasn't really a decent contender with both properties. Alpha and Omega? That stupid owl movie?
Why I get into a frothing shitfit about Avatar is the fact that THERE WAS A VIABLE "FURRY" CONTENDER IN Fantastic Mr. Fox.
You've got me completely backwards.
