Well, during my research into North Korea, I found an interesting TV series called Squirrel and Hedgehog. It's all about anthropomorphic squirrels and hedgehogs (with ducks pulling occasional duty as the navy and air force) defending their home from the imperialist aggressors (namely mice, weasels and wolves).
Now, the earlier episodes weren't anything particularly unusual, but later on, apparently after a reboot, we get introduced to this character:

Lieutenant Vixen.
Now, I do know that North Korean animators have studied outside the DPRK, and I can't help but wonder if this is just a coincidence, or if one of them picked up furry-ism during their time abroad.
One thing's for sure though, they're everywhere!

It also turns out that Lt. Vixen has a bit of a following among the furry community. I wonder why...

Edit: And yes, there IS porn of her.

Squirrel and Hedgehog is one of the most amazing things ever.

Imagine Chris was an entire country.
Now imagine Sonichu was funded by an entire military dictatorship as blatant anti-western propaganda.
And imagine they kept the plot the same -- meaningless, random, and occasionally exploding into sudden extreme violence.

It's just so batshit insane. I can highly recommend it to everyone.



From what I can gather,
Squirrels, hedgehogs, and ducks = North Koreans (depicted as peaceful utopians, even when they start flat-out killing people)
Mice = South Koreans (all presented as idiots)
Weasles = Japanese (presented as evil and spiteful of the NKs)
Bears = Russians (friendly but always drunk and unhelpful.)
Wolves/foxes=Americans (who are depicted as strangely badass)

The fact that the wolves are depicted as badass makes one wonder what the DPRK was even trying to achieve with making a villain. Still, with a cartoon like that, DPRK managed to end up getting some furries liking their characters, considering what @TheRedRanger said.

Well Kim Jong Il at least was known as a fan of Hollywood movies so maybe he was just jealous. I mean China loves the fuck out of braindead Micheal Bay-esque action movies so it seems reasonable he would too.

Pretty much. Not all the episodes are subtitled, so I'm not entirely sure what's meant to be going on, but the hero is a double agent, pretending to betray his home in order to play Starscream to the enemy Megatron. Of course, one of the mice knows this, but nobody believes him.

Well, propoganda usually tries simultaneously to depict the enemy as both a dangerous, bloodthirsty and highly disciplined army who are ready to attack at any moment, and a cowardly, incompetent rabble who will turn tail at the first taste of hot lead.
In this case, I think they focussed too hard on making the wolves look scary, and I'm sure to a North korean child, they are. To an American, however, they just look badass.

Regarding the North Korean cartoon, I love how the "glorious heroes" are effeminate, cutsey squirrel people while the villains are badass wolf men.

It's kind of realistic if the badass wolves are Americans and the squirrels and such are the malnourished midgets of North Korea.

I so wish I could find subbed episodes of this series. Or, you know, understand Korean. I ain't gonna lie, I nearly turned furry after seeing how badass the wolves were. xD It's funny that the North Koreans would portray themselves using conventional weapons instead of badass futuristic technology. Meh, probably trying to seem humble, I guess.

Hey, moved all this from the Furry thread for being Off Topic. This should be merged into the North Korean Animation thread, but apparently I don't have permission to move stuff into an existing Off Topic thread.

Hopefully, someone can that thread was created for a reason. But maybe this show has enough content to stand on its own.
 
It's absurdly OOT.

The one episode has the second-in-command of the 'Murcia wolves drive to their base, and on the way it shows them training.

They train by smashing things with their bare hands and HAVING SOMEONE DRIVE A JEEP OVER THEM AND HURL SAID JEEP 50ft.
They do this in concert with each other.

I don't know what's going on, but the boss wolf likes brandishing different implements at people, which is pretty funny if you've no context.

'Guess where this is going!'
 
It's not a terrible animation. Surprisingly quality for where it came from, but damn, is it terrible at being propaganda. Isn't the point to make "your" side look as cool and competent as possible? Yet the main character is kind of a wiener (the montage of him being a badass in that one episode has so little footage to use it has to include a clip of him getting subdued) while the antagonists have cooler designs, they seem more competent at everything, and they don't even seem particularly evil, at least judging by what I just watched. But it's so batshit that it's incredibly entertaining, so it has that going for it I guess.
