The High Cost of Animal Genitals in Animated Movies and Television
I read once about a campaign someone started to force animation studios to draw the genitals on cartoon animals in movies and on television. The argument was that it was prudishness that caused the genitals to be hidden on screen and this practice of hiding what is real probably subtly harms and confuses children. I was marginally on their side, figuring why don't we err on the side of caution and include animal genitals, until I realized that there would be a very real and profound cost involved in having all these artists drawing and animators rendering (with computers) millions and millions of frames animal genitals. Imagine the millions of dollars extra it would have cost to have animated all of the penises and testicles involved in 101 Dalmations. If you think ticket prices are bad now, just imagine how much they would need to be to support all this extra work. So, on balance I think the way forward is just to take your child aside before you go into an animated movie or watch an animated TV cartoon and in a soothing voice tell your child that he/she shouldn't be alarmed, that all the people and animals depicted do indeed have perfectly normal genitals, it was just far too expensive to include them.

Furry animators in the furry fandom would not have any trouble at all putting on the sheath,and testicles,and whatever sexual part on animation because they have done it for a long time. They are the artists you need to talk to. They can be found in the furry fandom dealer room,and then you can see their work. look up, Further confusion. There are furry artists in the furry Fandom that can do intelligent cartoons, and whatever animation with the sexual parts. They are more than willing,and qualified for the job,and will do a great job.

It is more than prudishness that kept the sheath, genitals, and occasional penis off of animation.it is the natural man that has sin in him = death giving a subconscious aversion to those parts being seen. Those parts could never harm or confuse any one. Not being seen,and sudden being seen will need a gentle, loving, patent human saying they are in all parts of nature,and then begin the learning process showing them where they are,and in the many forms they come in both in non human mammals,and plants,and ourselves as well.
The expense is a lie,and that is because
The penises,and sheathes ,and testicles were on the animated characters in The Narnia movie the lion the witch, and the wardrobe, but humans with dark spirits forced humans to air brush them out. That sort of thing has been done, but it never reached the theaters.
To take the child aside, and give them a lecture before hand will give them the idea something is wrong from the get go.We have to act like it is nothing,and the children will follow suit,and also not worry about those parts as well . Have us be uptight about the genitals,and the children will copy us.
