The Fandom explores the history of animation fans who brought anime to the western world in the 1970s, Disney animators who faced threats to their careers, sci-fi fans who started the first furry conventions, and why furries became early adopters of the 1980s internet. It contrasts that with the modern fandom covering how it became a haven for the LGBT community as well as a positive economic and artistic impact on major US cities.
THE FANDOM dives headfirst into the imaginative world of "furries," fans of the anthropomorphic arts. Using archival footage this documentary traces the history of the fandom from its roots in the 1970s to the global community it is today.
