Probably the only role that was available around the time. Then again I could be dead wrong. Could the same also be said for Eric Estrada?

I'm also pretty sure the actors got paid in pizza coupons and Cool Cat-themed toilet paper or something along these lines -- Fox and Estrada most likely didn't do this because they needed to earn money.

Maybe Derek knew someone who was friends with Fox and Estrada and this guy told them: "I have this one friend... he's a little slow in the head, you know... a washed-up actor from the adult industry, actually -- and he has come up with this wholly stupid children's character called Cool Cat and wants to shoot a movie about him. If that movie gets made he'll be all smiles! He thinks Cool Cat is the greatest invention ever. So why don't you guys be kind folks and make my slow-in-da-mind friend happy and do a little bit of acting in his Cool Cat movie?"

Seriously, Derek should give his entire franchise plus that "fair use" video to someone else who is more competent than him like, many of them.

I loved that animated video of Cool Cat. I have not laughed a flash animated video like that in a while.
I still can't get over when Estrada says there he is. It sounds like he is drunk.
 
I actually was thinking about it but... does anyone recall any shows where parents have been a human and an anthro thing? I can think of multiple shows where anthropromophic characters have been presented as an adopted, aliens, in a family unit of their own, etcetera etcetera. However, I can't think of one instance other than Cool Cat (aside from joke shows not meant to be viewed by children) where the anthro character is the offspring of a human/animal thing.

I can understand he wants Cool Cat to be portrayed as a kid. However there are children included who have zero family presented. Add a line where you say Cool Cat's family is going on vacation but he stays with the neighbors so he can focus on his school president campaign. With five seconds of thought I have explained what the hell that school president stuff was about as well as getting rid of any need to slap a dress and eyelashes to the fursuit and film awkward split screen scenes.

It's Chris-chan style autism. It's not good enough to just create a character, you need to beat it into people's heads that you consider your work seminal in more ways than one.

Not sure if it has been pointed out but the woman in the scenes with cool cat driving is pictured on the imdb images of the man in the Cool Cat suit.

It's sad that he went from correcting some of the issues his movie had to going batshit. The people in the Cool Cat movie seemed to be enjoying themselves and seem to be mostly friends or acquaintances of Daddy Derek. I can understand being upset someone called you a pedo, but google any children's show along with the word pedophile and you get endless conspiracy theories. If being called a pedo or a sociopath is your biggest trigger trying to create a children's series might not be the best idea.
 
I think Derek should've just put more money into buying three cat fursuits, instead of going to a hollywood parade and guest starring actors that didn't really need to be there in first place. At least show effort to make Cool Cats family a full family of anthro cats. I mean, Cool Cats parents in his comic book are cats too, so why the change?
It really either was the cost of the suits being to much.. or Derek just trying to be a part of his movie to show how great he is.

He should have gone to a furry con and gotten one made custom. Who knows where the fuck he got that ratty looking POS.

Plus, Cool Cat would be sexier and there would be porn of it. Well, more porn anyway.

In Regular Show, Margaret has a human dad. It briefly surprises her love interest, which is more then I say for Cool Cat, which treats it like the most normal thing ever. And Regular Show actually tries to be weird.

The thing is fursuit builders may ask, especially when it is some middle aged guy wanting a fursuit that might not even fit him, but someone else.

And even if he did the builder might not even take the job on especially if Derek Savage gives too much info about his plans for it,

Don't they usually make them for crazy fat guys who want to go fuck other crazy fat guys while dressed in them?

They don't strike me as all that selective as their customers go.

I've never seen housing developments like that in Burbank. He may have approached the chief of police there because almost all studios are in Burbank and the police cooperates with them often.

How did he get Vivica A. Fox to star in Cool Cat?
Click to expand...
He probably approached her with an "I'm making a video about bullying..." pitch. Actors are incredibly open to participate in projects when they feel it would show them in a good light. He also probably met her at a fundraiser or other event for a children's charity.

Of course he never showed his "production values" before pitching.

Most fursuit builders don't really care what you do with a suit after it's all said and done. A lot won't turn down projects even if the design is too complicated. Even though they should.

Money talks.

Another example: in BoJack Horseman, BoJack's old would-be flame Charlotte is an anthropomorphic deer married to a fully-human male, with one anthropomorphic deer daughter and one fully-human son. The difference is, that series is oriented towards adults, and takes place in a world where humans and humanoid animals intermingle. (Also, unlike Cool Cat, it's well-written, technically adept, and intentionally funny as hell.)
 
If Cool cat is a "kid"... How can he drive?

Cow and Chicken as well, despite that their folks were a pair of legs.

Like the above-mentioned cases, though, Cow and Chicken wasn't trying to treat it like it's the most normal thing ever - "Dad was proud, he didn't care how!," after all. The show was deliberately surrealist.

Cool Cat, however, is set in a fairly normal world. It's not surrealist, so it's kind of creepy that Cool Cat is the offspring of a cat and a human.

(Fairly off-topic, but I can recall one episode of I Am Weasel where Weasel is married to a human woman. Their kids are half-human, half-weasel. Maybe Daddy Derek should have gone that route.)

The difference between those shows and Cool Cat is that Daddy Derek has no self-awareness, and he doesn't seem to see it as weird or creepy in the slightest when he flirts with Mama Cat and calls her "a fine-lookin' kitty cat" in the most perverted-sounding way possible. That's the weirdest thing about Derek Savage: he sees all this as completely normal.

And that's what gets at me too. He's taking this pretty seriously. I'd understand if this were a world where humans and humanoid animals lived together, or if Cool Cat lived in an all anthropomorphic world or something like that.

But nope, instead he's acting like a creepy furry guy with this portrayal of not only being married to a humanoid cat, but apparently helping to conceive a man-sized cat as a son. With no explanation or anything along those lines. Makes me shudder to no end on the inside when I think of it.
