Generally I have not listed things which only make brief mentions of otherkin. If that kind of thing interests you, you may want to check out Orion Sandstorrm's Otherkin and Therianthrope Book-List (second link on that page) which is far more comprehensive in that regard. (He also maintains a "Directory of Otherkin Writings and Other Works", third on the page, which mingles all kinds of shorter works together.)

Again, a good portion of this tends to fall into the immersion-in-magical-world type of thing, rather than being specifically about otherkin, although a number of them involve specific types that otherkin identify as.

Adaptations of books on the Fiction page (return to top)

• The Last Unicorn. A live-action version is also in production.
• Alice in Wonderland. Many other versions of this story have also been produced.
• Mary Poppins
• Peter Pan. There are several versions of this, too, lately the live-action from 2003 and the darker-looking Neverland.
• The NeverEnding Story. Forget the sequels.
• The Lord of the Rings. Besides Peter Jackson's lavish live-action versions, there have also been a couple animated versions: Ralph Bakshi's odd-looking (IMO) Lord of the Rings and the Rankin & Bass Return of the King I fondly remember from childhood (has some great songs - dig the orcs' slave-marching song). Rankin & Bass also did The Hobbit, but I haven't seen it.

General Fantasy (return to top)

• Willow
• Labyrinth
• The Dark Crystal
• Legend

Faery (return to top)

• Fairy Tale: A True Story. Children have encounters with fairies (based on the Cottingley photographs).
• Ferngully: The Last Rainforest. Fairy-like forest spirits against a polluting corporation. (I have no idea how the sequel measures up.)
• A Midsummer Night's Dream. Shakespeare? Fairies? Come on. You know it. (There's several different versions of this.)
• The Magical Legend of the Leprechauns.
• The Fairy Faith. Semi-documentary about fairy beliefs and encounters in Ireland, England, Scotland, and Cape Breton.
• Photographing Fairies.

Dragons (return to top)

• The Flight of Dragons.
• Dragonheart. The sequel to this (Dragonheart - A New Beginning) isn't quite as bad as The Neverending Story II, but still nothing to write home about.

Weird Stuff & Miscellaneous (return to top)

• Yellow Submarine. Utterly bizarre fantasy/magical world. Uh, it's not about acid... right?
• The Matrix. The world you see is not the real world, and its rules can be bent and broken if you fully understand the illusion. (Stick with The Matrix itself and skip The Matrix: Reloaded and The Matrix: Revolutions.)
• What Dreams May Come. Soulbonds, among other things.
• Pleasantville. A few people see colour in a black and white world, and bring it to everyone else.
• The Secret of Roan Inish.
