While the feet of many of the ponies don't entirely look like actual hooved feet, they do actually walk like real equines. There are a number of occasions where they appear to have "elbows" in the middle of their forelegs, though, for gesturing purposes.

* Non-animated example: Big Bird in ''Series/SesameStreet'' is a human in a suit, therefore he has the same joints as a human. Creator/JimHenson's sketchbook shows a design that would have averted it (the pupeteer would have faced backwards, so his knee seemed to bend back instead of forward), but it was deemed impractical.

!!Cartoony Foot Stance Examples:

* Gromit from the ''WallaceAndGromit'' shorts and film.
* Pluto and Butch from the ClassicDisneyShorts and ''MickeyMouseClubhouse''.
* The bulldog, Spike and his son Tyke, in ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' cartoons is often seen with a rather bear-like stance like Butch above. It helps give the bulldogs a macho swagger and Butch often has his elbows bent out so that it looks like he's in the same position a human with their fists on their waist would be.
** Same with Tom and the other cats and dogs in the cartoon series. Tom becomes more and more anthropomorphic as time goes on though.
* Spike and Hector, the two bulldogs and Sylvester the cat from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''.
** Most digitigrade animals (cats and dogs) in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' are shown plantigrade in fact.
* The cat (e.g., Furball, Rita, Precious, and Crump Kitty) and dog (e.g., Runt, Newt, Buttons, and Barky Marky) characters from ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain''.
* Jake from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' has feet that are just toes.
* The bull in the old OswaldTheLuckyRabbit cartoon "Chilly con Carmen"
* The moose in the ClassicDisneyShort ''Moose Hunters''.
* Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar from the ClassicDisneyShorts are an example even though more modern appearances always depict them with shoes.
** You don't see their back hooves anymore and their front hooves are drawn as hands, but in their really early appearances, you could see that they clearly exemplify this trope.
* The dog and cat characters from ''Literature/CliffordTheBigRedDog'' look plantigrade (but drawn with just toes on the ground) in some poses, but look digitigrade in other poses.
* Same with the dog and cat characters from ''WesternAnimation/KryptoTheSuperDog''.
* Courage and Katz in ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' have feet that are just toes.
* WesternAnimation/QuickDrawMcGraw and Baba Looey from the HannaBarbera cartoons.
** Averted in one {{Boomerang}} short cartoon where the two characters are drawn more realistically and with the proper unguligrade stance.
* Played straight with Pig, Dog, Duck, and Sheep from ''WesternAnimation/WordWorld'', but averted with Cat from the same show.
* The Goodfeathers, the Girlfeathers, The Godpigeon, Chicken Boo, and the other bird chracters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''.
* DaffyDuck, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn, Henery Hawk, Yoyo Dodo from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''. Averted with Roadrunner, however.
* Plucky Duck, Shirley the Loon, Fowlmoth, Sweetie, Gogo Dodo, and Li'l Beeper from ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''.
* WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck and the other duck characters in the ClassicDisneyShorts and ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales''.
* WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker
* Non-animated example: Big Bird in ''Series/SesameStreet'' is a human in a suit, therefore he has the same joints as a human. Creator/JimHenson's sketchbook shows a design that would have averted it (the pupeteer would have faced backwards, so his knee seemed to bend back instead of forward), but it was deemed impractical.
* The lions and the camel in ''WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHatKnowsALotAboutThat''.
** Creator/DrSeuss in general, really.
* Buddy and Annie the T. rexes from ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain'' are examples, but most of the other dinosaurs that are supposed to be digitigrade avert this trope.
* Inversion: Mice are supposed to be plantigrade, but the mice in the original ''WesternAnimation/AngelinaBallerina'' cartoon are digitigrade (all the better to dance ''en pointe'', one supposes).
** Then un-inverted in the more recent CGI cartoons, where the characters are much more human-like (including always wearing shoes), pushing them into full PettingZooPeople territory and out of this trope.
* Similarly, the AnimatedAdaptation of ''{{Redwall}}'' gave even the mouse characters a digitigrade stance. Made somewhat awkward by the fact that Matthias and Cornflower wore sandals that were still designed for a plantigrade stance.
* Bo and Karla from ''WesternAnimation/MamaMirabellesHomeMovies''. The former has feet that are just toes and the latter has feet that are just hooves.
* In ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', this is averted for once. While the feet of many of the ponies don't entirely look like actual hooved feet, they do actually walk like real equines.

!!Cartoony Foot Shape Examples:

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' franchise, Jerry's feet bear very little resemblance to the feet of real mice and the two toes he has look rather like the two toes on camel feet.
* Speedy Gonzales from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' has two toed feet as well, but his feet look more like rabbit or hare feet with two toes.
* Piglet and Eeyore from ''WinnieThePooh'' don't have hooves and just have feet.
* {{Goofy}}, Max, and even [[MickeyMouse Mickey]] and Minnie Mouse have feet that look awfully like human feet.
** Mickey and Minnie also have hand and foot proportions that would be more appropriate for a Canada Lynx than for a mouse.
** Nearly all {{Dogfaces}} have awfully human-like feet in fact.
* Minerva Mink from ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' has feet that look a lot like human feet.
** Skippy Squirrel's feet look unusually huge and catlike for a squirrel.
* Cows in the ClassicDisneyShorts from the mid 1920s to the early 1930s, whether four-legged or two-legged, have feet that look somewhere between cats' feet and camels' feet.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''. Ren's feet usually look appropriate for a dog (aside from having three toes instead of four), but can sometimes look somewhat humanoid, while Stimpy has plantigrade toeless feet.
* Literally everyone on ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'', especially T-Bone and Razor.
* Rare Inversion: Many human characters in ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', especially female ones, have feet that are shaped rather like cats' hindfeet, including Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble.
* Another Inversion: Human characters in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' have three-toed feet that are shaped rather like cat's hindfeet.
** Only when looked at from a distance. When the feet are shown close up, the feet are shown to have four toes and generally have a human like shape. Ocassionally, they will [[GrossUpCloseUp show more frightening details]]
* All the [[PettingZooPerson anthropomorphic]] characters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' have awfully human-like feet.
* DaffyDuck has feet rather like that of a cat or a rabbit in the LooneyTunesInTheSixties.
* The TexAvery wolf has feet like a human.
