Serious question here....why are anthro characters coming back in cartoons? Back in the day cartoons would use furry characters because they were "easier to draw" or you could get around the censors by using them.

But with the advent of movies like Zootopia, where Disney apparently had to create an entire engine to simulate how fur moved, aren't anthro characters more difficult to animate now than humans? Eliminating one of their biggest advantages?

Basically my question is, are there any advantages left to using anthro characters over human ones?
