How do you know they are furries? The illustration could be set in a world where humans and anthropomorphic animals coexist, like the fictional worlds in movies such as "The Bad Guys" or TV shows such as BoJack Horseman or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Another possibility is that it is a medical and/or supernatural condition. They all appear to be canines. They could be werewolves, in a world where medicine and/or magic has developed a way to allow the change to just affect the body leaving their mind and personality intact.
I've noticed recently that a lot of the 3D movies have been doing more to steal the look and feel of hand-drawn animation. More smudging, better textures, variable frame rates, more clever character design, etc. Obviously the Spiderverse movies were a love letter to traditional animation, but even kids movies like the Bad Guys and the most recent Puss in Boots look amazing.
It's no replacement for hand-drawn and animated movies. But on the other hand (pun semi-intended) our ability to draw by hand these movies will never go away, and we have the ability to make new ones anytime in the future that someone has the passion and energy to do it (commercial success be damned!). The important thing is that all of the tricks, shorthand, and other collective learnings of a century of animation has not gone unappreciated, and is being absorbed into the new medium. That's pretty neat!
He's quite good as Professor Marmalade in The Bad Guys, which is the most stylish kids' movie I've ever seen.
