Definitely not a furry.
Here's a thing I heard; one time the guys at his studio, for his birthday, decided to make a porny short featuring Mickey and Minnie mouse. At the time he laughed and said "That's great!". The very next day he had everyone involved in its creation fired and burned the reels.

A furry, no. But definitely a douche.

EDIT: it suddenly occurs to me the question doesn't really make sense. However you want to define "furry", we can probably agree that it's a word defined primarily by its community, which didn't exist until very late in his lifetime, if at all. It's like asking if Vlad the Impaler was a goth.

Elad, just because at some particular moment in history a word for a concept does not exist cannot be interpreted to imply that the concept, itself, does not exist. Ideas evolve before language catches up with them.

In the sense of "furry = anthropomorphic character" or "furry = appreciation of anthropomorphic artwork" the concept "furry" most certainly did exist when Disney was churning out one furry cartoon after another.

Therefore, the question does make sense. The furry "community" might not have existed at the time in question, but that's irrelevant. It didn't invent "furry". It merely adopted it as its central paradigm.

Arguable, as Snopes would put it . (See the first paragraph right after that anecdote in the Origins section.)

In any case, disliking furry porn, or just being prudish in general, doesn't invalidate a fan being furry.

Personally, I think he was more storyteller than furry fan. He used whatever sorts of characters he found useful for his storytelling, be they human or furry.
