The House – Netflix Review
The House is an animated film that it is said to be both a “Mind Bender”, and a “Thriller”. In my opinion it’s both and then some. First I should explain The House is divided in to 3 segments #1 features humans in a horror/ thriller involving a crazed builder and a mad man as well as a family. This is without a doubt the creepiest thing I ever seen, and all you want to see is the kids getting out alive.
The #2 features a anthro mouse who happens to be a house flipper. The only thing I can say it plays on people’s fear of bugs. Which it is better than any other horror film period. I swear you will be left checking your own place for bugs.
The final segment #3 features anthro cats, and to me was a thankful break. The setting is the same home, a woman who is fighting a massive flood. Tenants who aren’t paying rent, but are her good friends… and a no joke Zen Carpenter and the way the film ends. You can see I am not giving any spoilers here… will make you smile.
My overall score is a very solid 9 out of 10

FURRY FURSUITS ARE EXPENSIVE
Canadian animated series ‘The Raccoons’ sees resurgence of interest
The Raccoons was incredibly popular series, I originally saw it on the Disney Channel
The show, which ran in 180 countries worldwide — including on CBC in Canada and the Disney Channel in the U.S. — follows a group of animal friends who try to save the Evergreen Forest from millionaire industrialist Cyril Sneer. Animation by Atkinson Film-Arts (later renamed Crawley Films) and Hinton Animation Studios showed the Ontario roots of “The Raccoons.” “You can see Canadian landmarks like a train station or an untouched shoreline,” said Gillis, an award-winning creator, director and executive producer whose credits include “RoboCop: The Series,” “Atomic Betty,” and the “Universal Soldier” television movies, “I Was a Rat,” “The Nutcracker Prince,” “Camp Lakebottom” and “Jimmy Two-Shoes.”
So what is happening?
Although the series and the specials were released on multiple formats in the ’90s and ’00s, they are now out of print and the series is currently only available on the Run With Us YouTube channel. Until recently, the archives had been stored in a climate-controlled environment. After receiving proposals from international distributors asking to update the shows to modern platforms, Gillis and his team began restoring and remastering the series and specials from the original 35 mm to 4K and 8K last year. “We have already restored two episodes and the results are amazing. It’s like when the original artwork first went under the camera.”
Gillis estimates the first two seasons will be available on subscription, advertising-supported channels and networks such as Disney, Tubi or Prime Video by May, with all five seasons — and never-before-seen extras — released on Blu-ray and DVD before the end of 2022.

What to Do Between Furry cons and “Free furry eBooks”
MFF 2021 Wrapup
In a statement released by MFF
In these unprecedented times…
No, wait.
We’re all really tired of hearing that.
Anyway, it’s been a rough two years for everyone. After going virtual in 2020, we at Midwest FurFest approached the 2021 convention with a mixture of hope and trepidation. Our goal was to provide something of a respite for all of our friends and to continue to celebrate the furry fandom in FurFest’s own unique style but in a manner that was safe and responsible as well.
It is a pleasure to say that we achieved all of this and more, as we welcomed a grand total of 9,332 (vaccinated and masked) attendees. We are grateful not only for all of our friends who journeyed to Rosemont to join us, but also for the approximately 450 staff and volunteers (working onsite and remote) who helped make the convention happen.
Our charity this year was Mission Companion Paw (MCP) Rescue + Outreach. Through the generosity of our attendees, we were able to raise $74,303. These donations will help them continue their work of finding homes for hard-to-adopt dogs, providing pet food donations to food pantries, and directing families to low-cost spay and neuter services.
We would like to recognize everyone who organized and participated in the following events which helped raise money for this charity:
- Charity Table Jar: $7,335
- Credit Card/Venmo Donations: $2,758
- Charity and Silent Auctions: $5,344
- Furry Logic Escape Room: $1,000
- Donations from Programming Event: $2,760
- Hyatt Regency O’Hare – Themed Drinks at Red Bar: $1,130
- Cash donations at Closing Ceremonies: $7,976 (WOW!)
Thanks again to everyone who made this possible. You have all made a tremendous difference in the lives of MCP and the people and animals that they serve.
After two years in orbit, Midwest FurFest 2021: Intergalactic! has finally landed. We are already hard at work making plans for the coming year and we hope to see you December 1-4, 2022 in Rosemont, Illinois for Midwest FurFest 2022: Movie Magic!
