* Eggs from ''WesternAnimation/TheBoxtrolls'' is a Cheesebridge orphan raised since infancy by the eponymous Boxtrolls, to the point that for a long time he thinks he is one.
* Aladar from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dinosaur}}'' is an ''Iguanodon'' raised by lemurs.

* Most of ''Animation/LeafieAHenIntoTheWild'' revolves around a chicken hen and her HappilyAdopted son (a duck).
* ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'': After his father's death, Simba (lion) is taken in by HeterosexualLifePartners Timon (a meerkat) and Pumbaa (warthog). This isn't really played as an adoption in the original film, though ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingOneAndAHalf'' plays it closer to this trope.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Megamind}},'' both the title character and his nemesis, Metro Man, came here a la Comicbook/{{Superman}}. Metro Man was adopted by a rich family; Megamind... crashed into a prison and was raised by the inmates. [[FridgeLogic Why did]] [[SocialServicesDoesNotExist nobody call Social Services]]?
* In ''Animation/MotherForALittleMammoth'', a baby mammoth [[HumanPopsicle frozen in the ice]] wakes up in modern times and desperately tries to find his mother, until a walrus tells him he has heard of similar-looking animals living in Africa. The baby mammoth goes all the way south on an ice floe and gets HappilyAdopted by an elephant.
* Like it's [[WesternAnimation/RockyAndBullwinkle source material]] the film ''WesternAnimation/MrPeabodyAndSherman'' has Mr. Peabody (a dog) adopting Sherman (a human boy). ''Un''like it's source material, the relationship is explicitly portrayed as a father/son relationship, rather than a comedic inversion of "[[ABoyAndHisX A Boy And]] [[CanineCompanion His Dog]]".
