"Fur on Film" Crossword Puzzle by Actaeon (GRID)
Well, here's what I've been working on for the last month and a half: a giant furry-themed crossword puzzle. Most normal crosswords, measured in rows x columns, are anywhere from 11x11 to 25x25. Mine is...well, I'll admit I went a teensy bit overboard, and it wound up being 57 columns wide by 63 rows deep, with over 1,000 words!
The theme, "Fur on Film," means that the main entries are either movie titles or the names of characters that appear in them (unless the character's name is *in* the title). Most films are animated cartoons with anthropomorphic characters, but there are also some live-action movies that fit the theme. I was able to fit several dozen titles into the grid, and several dozen character names, so hopefully I've covered all the classics. However, if one of your faves is missing, I apologize: it's nothing personal, I just ran out of room.
In this submission, I'm posting the puzzle grid, in PDF format. The next post will contain the list of clues. I'll wait a week or so to upload the answer key, just to keep you guessing for a while.
Note: this is the beta (version 0.9) of the puzzle, because there may be a few glitches. See the list of clues (at the end) for more details. If you have any questions, or find anything incorrect or unclear, *PLEASE* let me know right away, either by posting under one of the submissions or via Notes.
Enjoy! :)

I'll go ahead and post the answer key, just in case you want to give it another shot. :)
I've not done crosswords in decades, but I may have to give this one a shot.
I've dropped it on my (locked) Twitter account as well. Hopefully it'll get a bit more attention :)
Nicely done
