* ''ComicBook/BadRubber'', a one-issue FunnyAnimal parody of ''Film/BladeRunner''.
* Peter Porker, ''[[ComicBook/SpiderHam The Spectacular Spider-Ham]]'' is ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' as a pig. Also features various other animal-hero adaptations such as [[ComicBook/{{Daredevil}} Deerdevil]] and [[ComicBook/GhostRider Goose Rider]].

* ''Marvel Apes'' which is the Franchise/MarvelUniverse...but everyone's an ape or otherwise some kind of non-human primate (Spider-Man for example, is a Spider Monkey).
* Not ''ComicBook/CaptainCarrotAndHisAmazingZooCrew'', who were original characters, but the [[ShowWithinAShow comic-within-a-comic]] ''Justa Lotta Animals'', a ''Franchise/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'' pastiche featuring [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Supersquirrel]], [[Franchise/WonderWoman Wonder Wabbit]], [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Batmouse]], etc.
* Before there was Spider-Ham, Marvel had Webster Weaver, the Amazing Man-Spider, who appeared in a back-up strip in ''Comicbook/WhatIf'' called ''What If the Spider Had Been Bitten By a Radioactive Human?"
* The ''Comicbook/MuppetClassics'' comic miniseries following the example of ''Christmas Carol'' etc.: ''Muppet Literature/PeterPan''; ''Muppet Myth/RobinHood''; ''Muppet Myth/KingArthur''; ''Muppet Literature/SnowWhite'' and ''Muppet Literature/SherlockHolmes''.
* Inverted by Tom King's ''Batman Meets Elmer Fudd'', which has characters based on Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Sylvester, etc. but they're all human. (Other ''ComicBook/DCMeetsLooneyTunes'' oneshots had the FunnyAnimals as is, with explanations ranging from AlternateTooniverse to UpliftedAnimal to none whatsoever).
* Invoked in ''Treaties, Trenches, Mud and Blood'', the fourth book in the historical Graphic Novel series, ''ComicBook/NathanHalesHazardousTales''. When the Hangman initially finds the story of UsefulNotes/WorldWarI too boring, Nathan Hale asks what would make the story more interesting, Hangman responds with "[[FunnyAnimal cute little animals with funny hats]]". Despite Hale's reluctance, the story of the Great War is told with talking animals representing each nation and their people involved, with such examples being Germany represented by the Eagle, England/the United Kingdom as a bulldog, and the United States of America as a bunny.

* In a similar way to ''Sherlock Hound'', mentioned above, ''Studio Junio'' later released ''Anime/MontanaJones'' which takes inspiration from ''Film/IndianaJones'', but featuring a cast of anthropomorphic felines.

* ''WesternAnimation/TreasurePlanet'' is ''Literature/TreasureIsland'' JustForFun/RecycledInSpace. Some of the key characters (like the main character Jim and his mother) are still human, but the rest of the cast are different kind of aliens, many of whom look considerably animal-like. For example, Long John Silver looks like a large anthropomorphic bear/dog, Billy Bones is [[LizardFolk reptilian]], [[TheCaptain Captain Amelia]] (a GenderFlipped version of Captain Smollett) is a [[CatFolk cat-lady]], Dr. Delbert Doppler (a CompositeCharacter based on Dr. Livesey and Squire Trelawney) has distinctly canine features, and Scroop, the pirate who attacks Jim (based on various pirate characters), looks like something between a GiantSpider and a lobster.

** ''Film/TheMuppetsGoToTheMovies'' had multiple examples including Dr Franchise/{{Frankenstein}} as a pig, ''Film/{{Casablanca}}'' with a frog as Rick and a pig as Ilsa, ''Film/GoneWithTheWind'' with a pig as Scarlett, ''Franchise/TheThreeMusketeers'' played by a pig, a whatever ... and ... an orange humanoid, ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'' with a pig as Dorothy, and so on.

** ''ComicBook/UltimateFF'' introduced [[ComicBook/MilesMorales Miles Morhames]], the Ultimate Spider-Ham. His home universe is a parody of the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe with animal superheroes.

** ''WesternAnimation/AroundTheWorldWithWillyFog'': A Spanish cartoon (''La vuelta al mundo de Willy Fog'') is an adaptation of Creator/JulesVerne's ''Literature/AroundTheWorldInEightyDays''. Mr Fog is a lion, Rigadon (Passepartout in the novel) and Romy (Aouda) are cats, and Inspector Fix is a dog. There are also many original characters. Protagonists and sympathetic characters tend to be cats and PantheraAwesome, while antagonists are likely to be dogs, foxes or wolves. \\
The sequel, ''Willy Fog 2'', adapts ''Literature/JourneyToTheCentreOfTheEarth'' and ''Literature/TwentyThousandLeaguesUnderTheSea'', with Professor Lidenbrock as a mole, Professor Aronnax as an owl, and Captain Nemo as a cat.
