In this article about Michaela Pavlatova, she discusses the film and the "narrow line between what is erotic and what is vulgar." Echoing Karl Cohen's comment, she states: "it won't be nominated for an Oscar because it is not sexually correct." I’ll say I was most impressed by eleven rabbits in a circle-jerk having it off with each others’ ears.
It pales in comparison to a glimpse at e621 or FA, but the whole thing has a lot to recommend it.Īn AWN.com review discusses its famous source music by Camille Saint-Saens, and says:Ĭarnival is up for creative recycling all the time, and was memorably animated in Disney’s Fantasia 2000 when animator Joe Grant gave a flamingo a yo-yo. In Carnival of the Animals, the "interspecies sexual free-for-all" is mainly in the last minute of this 9-minute film. While Carnival is an interspecies sexual free-for-all, Tram is much tamer, possibly making it acceptable for Michaela to get another Academy Award nomination.

Ron Diamond later told me it was made as a pilot for a possible series so it is not as wild and crazy as her award winning Carnival of the Animals, 2006. Tram by Michaela Pavlatova (Oscar nomination for Rici, Rici, Rici, 1991), illustrates several sexual fantasies that a woman streetcar operator has while doing her job. President Karl Cohen called the film "an outrageous erotic fantasy from the Czech Republic", and says: I saw it at a San Francisco showing (a reminder of Pavlatova's Czech / San Francisco connection, a fine background for art that crosses borders.) Later, I noticed a report about it in the member newsletter for ASIFA-SF (the international animator's association, SF chapter). The show is a touring festival generally promoted to the animation industry, hosted by Ron Diamond of AWN.com, which he calls a "pre-Oscar" event since many selected films later earn the award. Tram featured in The Animation Show of Shows, mentioned in Fred's comment here. Her film Tram was shortlisted for the 2012 Academy Award nominations. Michaela Pavlatova is one such artist, a winner of numerous awards at international film festivals, whose animation of dreams and desires could be termed "Freudian". These sources suggest that the often-mocked sexual side of furry fandom is an expression of human behavior that's worth intellectual consideration (yeah, that's the excuse.) Art criticism has plenty of examples of artists who have explored it. Jungian analyst Anne Baring takes on the topic in her seminar, Animals in Dreams. On a related note, studies of childhood and the subconscious show a high frequency of animals in kid's dreams, as discussed in The Dream Encyclopedia: Animal Dreams. This one suggests playfully limitless sexuality that's buried in the subconscious after childhood for many people, but not all (such as people who get hot for Bugs Bunny or the feel of fake fur). The objects and modes of sexual satisfaction are multifarious, directed at every object that might provide pleasure… For Freud, "perversion" is a non-judgmental term.įreud's theories are often dismissed as unscientific and "of their time", but still respected for helping to found psychoanalysis. Sigmund Freud used this term to describe the normal sexual disposition of humans from infancy to about age five.įreud theorized that humans are born with unfocused sexual libidinal drives, deriving sexual pleasure from any part of the body. Polymorphous perversity is a psychoanalytic term for human ability to gain sexual gratification outside socially normative sexual behaviors. Kilcodo's thoughtful answer brings to mind the Freudian term "Polymorphous perversity".
And I think that’s because as sexual beings we can see eroticism in many different organic forms, and I think because animals are beautiful, people like to meld the two forms together, so you have a human body and a majestic head of an animal, and people find that beautiful and even erotic. I’ve heard otter being used in the gay community. Kilcodo: It depends on the person, but I think if you look at the way that we use language and the way we think about what is and isn’t sexy, we’ve constantly used anthropomorphic language. Rumpus: Are cartoons sexy? Are animals sexy? Or are both of those statements irrelevant? Is it more the re-imaging idea? The Rumpus, a blog aimed at the challenging side of pop culture, brings up Furry Fandom's most divisive topic in Oh So Furry: The Rumpus Interview with Kilcodo.
