Furries (Minions Parody)

They've Been Around for the Longest...

For the predecessors of our modern furries, it was all about harmony, cooperation, survival—and leaders! Since their earliest known existence, furries have been searching for leaders, animal and human, to help direct them in the “right path”. But there was a problem: leaders were easy to find, but hard to keep alive. By the dawning of the twenty-first century, the furries found themselves stranded in Antarctica with no leader and no purpose, hopeless and depressed. And yet all hope is not lost...at least in the eyes of Four.

Four has faith that there is still a leader, the ultimate leader, out there. Alongside the rebellious, musically inclined Rainbow Dash and a young, enthusiastic Iggy, Four sets out to find that leader for his furry friends to follow. Traveling around the world, from New York to Miami, Florida, the “Friendship Furries” end up as the recruits of Venezuela Vienna, a female black bear supervillain determined to make her mark in London, England as the greatest villain of all time by stealing the crown of Queen Sardonyx, also known as Sarabi, the former queen of the Pridelands. But after several unexpected turns of events, crossovers with many new faces (particularly that of Joseph Jacobs, a daring but somewhat amateurish teenage wolf who winds up falling in love with Rainbow Dash), and ultimately a devastating accident that destroys Venezuela’s trust in the trio, Four, Iggy, and Rainbow Dash find themselves at the mercy of their own “leader”...and Four must find a way to save his friends all of them from annihilation.

Trivia

• This parody marks the Phase Awesomeness debut of Rainbow Dash, Joseph Jacobs, and Sarabi.
• This is Four's first major protagonist role.
• This is also the first time Four, Rainbow Dash, and Iggy play as a trio, making them the third Phase Awesomeness trio since the T.A.N.G. (Nick Wilde, Kiara, and Reynold "Bearen" Michaels) and Threefold (Classified, Simba, and Judy Hopps).
• Joseph is the first P.A. character to have a starring role; he guest-stars with the Friendship Furries in Awesome Me 3.
• Venezuela and Pavilion make their one-time villainous appearance in this parody, a trend repeated in Awesome Me and Fourscore: Polar's Wild Adventure (Awesome Me 2).
• Like Four and Iggy, Kiara is shown to be a secondary leader of her "team", followed closely, not surprisingly, by Bearen.
• This is the first parody to signify Matthew Micahs as being the leader of the furries without identifying them as a group.
• Nick Wilde, though not mentioned in the cast, briefly appears during the police chase and in England alongside Judy Hopps and the rest of the ZPD. Because this parody takes place before the events of Atypical, he does not have a major role with Bearen and Kiara.
• Robin Hood's role as the royal advisor continues the trend of his having a secondary or minor role in P.A. parodies. The only exception to this would be Threefold: The Heroes Who Don't Do Anything, in which parody Robin has an antagonist role.
• Originally, Princess Celestia would have played as Queen Elizabeth, but considering Sarabi's role as queen (formerly) of the Pridelands, she better fit the role.
