The Lion King was released in 1995 and spawned a fan community all its own. Nearly 20 years later this small, but persistent group has remained an endearing set of friends, some of who have crossed this particular bridge into the furry community. Simba, a local fur, joins Roo and Tugs to explore the passion of the TLK community, how some come to the furry fandom through the film, and how he made the same journey. We also read your mail about your own movie connections to the furry fandom, play THE GAME, and go through our mailbag. Oh, and we laugh….just a lot.
