Or otherwise support while they're in the works-
All information is provided to the best of my knowledge..
also, this list will tend to be furry centric, though is not intended to be furry specific- I'm mostly looking for FULL stories told by independent artists in some sort of animated form; between five minutes and feature length--
Now, this list, more than any OTHER list that you will see from me, will need as much passing around and recommendations as possible- because it's difficult to find cohesive stories put into animated form amongst the internet (with its mass amounts of lawlz and prawnz)-
comedy is fine, or course, but to help keep up the general integrity, there does definitely have to be a plot, and it cannot be entirely about sex-
after all, if we were looking for porn, we'd be using the search feature.
(it can be entirely porn if you look at it and it's really something worth passing around to people who may not be looking at it for the porn)
Big Buck Bunny
By: Project Peach
Status: On DVD (and bluray!)
Length; Just under Ten Minutes (9.56, including credits)
Rated: Suitable for all ages (mild cartoon violence)
Released: May 30, 2008
(copypasta'd from the vimeo post)
Big Buck Bunny tells the story of a giant rabbit with a heart bigger than himself. When one sunny day three rodents rudely harass him, something snaps... and the rabbit ain't no bunny anymore! In the typical cartoon tradition he prepares the nasty rodents a comical revenge.

Status: Unfinished
Rated: Adult
ETA: None; official updates run from five and six months ago, but he posts to his main account sparingly enough to lead me to believe that this really IS his primary work at the moment.
Alright.. this one is worth keeping any eye on just because He's actually putting in the effort to try to render spooge with both liquid densities.... which takes forever in and of itself, and requires some commitment; and to me says that the final product will be worth watching, if not good, on at least a plot level-
Kajimba
By RedCartel
ETA: ???
Rating: R (strong adult language, alcohol use, creepy old women, etc)
(Taken from their About page)
Kajimba is a dry and dusty place way out in the middle of Australia, and when we say way out, we're talking a bloody long way from anywhere. Built right in the middle of all this nothing is the Kajimba hotel, and this is the story of all the folk within.
It's CG animated, and contains a plethora of talking, drunk animals. also a very, very old bartender woman-crocodile.
I've been through the previews (and the rest of the site) and it's looking damn solid. But there's no way in hell to tell when it'll be done.
Kaze: Ghost Warrior
by timothyalbee
Pilot
ETA: ???
Rating: PG-13
okay.. One guy, two computers, six months.
Now, a primary reason that this is on the list is because.. it's almost a requirement.
Aside from it being one of the better-known things to come out of furry, it is genuinely pretty good, albeit a bit rough around the edges and.. well.
Unfinished.
Production of the Feature-Length film was slated to begin in late 2009, and most sources say it is still in pre-production- as well, Timothy has the world and story entirely fleshed out (to the best of my knowledge) which means that, if anything with one person working on it has a shot at being finished. . .
ANYWAY! Even if the movie itself is never finished, the pilot episode is worth a watch!
Service Guarantees Wings

ETA: ???
Rating: ???
(it takes place more or less in the JACK universe, and will center around two original characters, but include a fair number featured in the Webcomic)
I've read bits and pieces of the script.. and it's pretty good- as is the concept art that i've managed to come across. The most recent project update is form this year (always a good sign!) and he's go the world more or less completely fleshed out; now it's just a matter of self-motivation.
Still, though, worth giving him the support, since this is a big project that he's tackling more or less on his own.
Wolf
by Silver Sky Studios
ETA: ???
Rating: PG-13-ish (from what i can gather)
This one's been in the works for a very long time, and still cranks out updates every now and again, which leads me to believe that it'll actually be finished- They are accepting Applications for Animators and Animation Inkers at this moment, in case you've ever wanted to be involved in a project like this- for the experience or otherwise.
Now, on to what we know of the plot... this is a direct copy+paste from their website.
Wolf takes place in the late 1920's in a semi-fictional area of the Grand Teton Mountains in Wyoming. At this time period wolves were being hunted nearly into extinction in all of the lower 48 United States, a period sometimes called the "war on wolves". Our story takes place at the end of that "war", when wolf packs were becoming very scarce.
