Yes I definitely love animal movies and not just animated. For example quite recently Togo has real dogs and it is absolutely beautiful and very hard to watch, totally worth it though. Nothing sexual, just a really nice story.
I have been into animal movies pretty much as long as I can remember. I do not think these movies had any role in forming my sexuality, but definitely had some role in me being a furry.
I can not exactly remember which character was my first crush, because for quite a long time I prevented myself from thinking about any of my animal heroes in any sexual way, but I have loved (non-sexually) a lot of animal characters from movies. The first character I remember liking very much was the dog-like Falkor from The Neverednding Story. Since animals were usually the bad guys in movies, dragons, wolves, bears, raptors,... I was often on the evil dark side of the plot with them.
Later I even wrote animal related stories myself. I usually had a group of favorite animal heroes gathered from various movies or books that I used to build my own stories.
I have had several life changing impactful experiences from movies when I was younger that ended up in me being interested in a new field for a few years. One of which was the Jurassic Park, I have read all the books after the movies and became a dinosaur lover and almost ended up with a raptor fursona.
Nowadays I specifically look for movies with animals, I have seen Zootopia in cinema. I have suffered through all 8 Alpha and Omega movies. Horribly fascinating.
The porn is good though.
I have seen some of the older Disney films too and a plethora of other movies with either real or drawn animals and have read books that have a human-animal relationships in them.
I enjoy watching animal or animal like characters, they are far more interesting and sexy.
For some time I resisted watching yiff porn with my favorite characters. But yeah I have seen it now. ;D
