* ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' takes place in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals version of ancient China. Most (although not all) characters are based on animals native to China, but the main character, Po, is a panda. His title as "Dragon Warrior" makes him a double example. Two of the major supporting characters are Master Tigress, [[ADogNamedDog a female tiger]], and Master Monkey (guess), voiced by Creator/JackieChan, who fights with a staff in a similar manner to Sun Wukong.

* ''VideoGame/PlanetZoo'': The animals have names common in countries and regions where they occur: deers, swans, badgers and red foxes have British names, wisents have Slavic names, reindeer have Norse names, polar bears and arctic foxes have Inuit names, African animals like lions or elephants have African names, cougars and prairie dogs have Native American names etc. The interesting example of this trope are king penguins who have English/British names, due to Antarctica not being owned by any nation.



* ''VideoGame/PrimalLegends'': Masha is a snowy owl with a ([[WhatTheHellIsThatAccent poor attempt at a]]) Scandinavian accent.

* ''WesternAnimation/FreddieAsFRO7'' is a movie about a medieval French prince [[WidgetSeries turned into a frog that then proceeded to become a special agent, and an immortal one at that]]. Many a gag in the movie is had at his superiors mistaking people affirming that yes, he is a frog as some kind of racist statement. Said superiors are also British.
