History Main / NoFocusOnHumans

* ''[[WesternAnimation/ThreeTwoOnePenguins 3-2-1 Penguins!]]'' focuses mainly on the eponymous penguins and the various aliens whom they assist.

* Humans are everywhere, but mostly you might just see their feet or vehicles from the point of view of an animal character. There are only a few human characters that have a speaking role (Example: ''Film/OliverAndCompany'').

* The ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' short film ''Pikachu's Vacation'', which was played before ''WesternAnimation/PokemonTheFirstMovie'' and is on that movie's DVD, only has the trainers at the very beginning and end.

* Usually seen in ''Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon'' as well in some Creator/{{Pixar}} movies, in which if well the movie stated a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, the humans are still present but don't appear on focus. Some examples:

** ''WesternAnimation/TheGoodDinosaur'' takes place on an Earth that missed the KT-Extinction event and thus, Dinosaurs evolved into sentient life, on the level with late 19-20th century humans by the time of the story proper. While a humans do exist, they are more feral and are treated like pests by the Dinosaurs. The whole thing sets up an unusual ABoyAndHisX where the Boy is in fact a Dinosaur and the X is a human boy.

** In the {{prequel}} of above, ''WesternAnimation/MonstersUniversity'', there's hardly any human characters in it. Mike and Scully are at college, and have yet to use the closet portals into the human world. The only thing human-ish in their universe is the practice dummy. Then again, humans are acknowledged to exist, it's just that only a few make an appearance.
** ''Disney/TheJungleBook'': Mowgli and [[spoiler:the nameless girl he goes with at the end]] are the only human characters. The [[Film/TheJungleBook2016 live-action version]] takes it further, with Mowgli as the only human character (both in story and on screen), while other humans are only seen as shadows.

** ''Franchise/ToyStory'' series only focus on the sentient toys, having few references on humans, mostly Woody's owner Andy, because of toys' PointOfView of the story.

** There is one significant human child in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', namely Boo. We never learn her real name; Boo is a moniker bestowed on her by Jimmy Sullivan (aka Scully), who thought she was cute. Thing is, Boo forms a huge part of the plot, which is how to return her to her bedroom in secret, without the monsters' contagion team finding out. Boo is too prominent to be an incidental character.

* ''WesternAnimation/ThreeTwoOnePenguins'' focuses mainly on the eponymous penguins and the various aliens whom they assist.

* The Chilean Website/YouTube EdutainmentShow ''[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRYASwREzEOEptJLi4AY6tw Mi Perro Chocolo]]''[[note]]My Chocolo Dog[[/note]] is basically a [[WorldOfFunnyAnimals Farm of Funny Animals]] which few presence of humans there. In the first version, there's the little girl with her family (father, mother and a little baby, the former even appearing in one song), but in the 2015 version, there's only Lila as [[TokenHuman the only human present]] (assumed it's the same girl from previous version, even when the design is completely different) and friend of the other animals. And in one song, there's Martin, another child as Lila, that only appears in that song.

* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'': Humans are minimal in G1. They appear in books, [[ComicBook/MyLittlePony comics]], and animated adaptations but are rarely given characteristic and are mostly {{Audience Surrogate}}s. By the G2 reboot, humans were removed from the franchise. It stayed this way until G4's HighSchoolAU ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls''.

* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePony'': Only in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials'' from G1, in which Megan and friends are the only humans; all the other generations are made of WorldOfFunnyAnimals.

{{Not to be confused with}} BeastFable, HumanitysWake and WorldOfFunnyAnimals for when there are no humans ''at all''.

* Much of the drama in ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest'' centers on three young BarefootCartoonAnimals on a hazardous mission to retrieve medicinal herbs. There are incidental humans, but none are named, and none get more than a minute or two of screen time.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BlazeAndTheMonsterMachines'', theres AJ, the driver and friend of [[TheProtagonist Blaze]], and Gabby, the WrenchWench of Axle City. Those two are the only humans (and especifically children) that appear in a world full of {{Sentient Vehicle}}s where all creatures are despised as monster trucks (animals included).

[[folder:Webcomics]]

Usually humans are the focus on the series, as well there're stories with no humans at all. This specific version is about humans present in this kind of stories but being [[TokenHuman few of them compared to the rest of the cast]]. Usually and in most of cases it's about a WorldOfFunnyAnimals, but also can be a world of {{Robot}}s as well as {{Sentient Vehicle}}s. So, as [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin this trope says]], there's no focus on humans.

** In ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man|Classic}}'', aside from the two doctors who built the series' robots, humans are almost never seen. Since Mega Man's duty is to stop the latest attack from Wily's robots, it makes sense. Wily and Light aside, the only other humans who've made physical appearances in the Classic series come from ''VideoGame/MegaManIV'' with Dr. Cossack and the latter's daughter Kalinka.

* ''''VideoGame/CopyKitty'': Zoincailla is a solar system with plenty of life-bearing worlds with native intelligent species of cats, energy beings, insects, {{Magitek}} cybernetic Constructs, creatures made of goo, and so on, but doesn't feature any humans.

* Ronald-Ann was the only human who had a speaking role in ''WesternAnimation/AWishForWingsThatWork''.0

** In ''VideoGame/{{Mega Man|Classic}}'', is known humans and robots coexists in this world, but the only humans that are part of the story are Dr. Light, Dr. Wily, Dr. Cossack and the latter's daughter Kalinka.
** In the distant future {{sequel}} ''VideoGame/MegaManX'', also seems that the world are humans and robots (more advanced ones called as "Reploids"), but also is implied the humans are less than in past eras, being only the Dr. Cain the only human in the series. One of the themes is how the heroes are trying to make peace between humanity and robots. Yet, as in this trope, humans don't get much focus.
** ''VideoGame/MegaManZero'': Though one human (Ciel) is a prominent character, she couldn't really represent humans as a whole, until the fourth game where some human society is finally shown.
* In ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'' series, the main setting is the WorldOfFunnyAnimals. That, until ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', in which Sonic and his friends (and enemies) go to the human world to save it as part of a ParallelUniverse, in which few humans appear in the game.

Compare TokenHuman, in which there's ''only one'' human present in the story, and XenoFiction. See also HumansAreCthulhu, where humans are not treated as characters, but as a terrifying outside force, and SlidingScaleOfAnimalCast, in which the level 2 is referred to very few humans added to the animal cast. Compare and contrast AbsentAliens, in which the aliens are this trope for humans. See also HumansThroughAlienEyes.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'': Humans are not present on the series, but the garbage they throw to the sea is already part of this submarine world. Humans appear in ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie'', where [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick Star go to the surface and then they found [[Creator/DavidHasselhoff Mitch]] [[Series/{{Baywatch}} Buchannon]]. The Sequel ''WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater'' features more humans, including one as the BigBad.

* Ronald-Ann was the only human that had a speaking role in ''WesternAnimation/AWishForWingsThatWork''.

** ''Disney/OliverAndCompany'': The Disney interpretation of ''Literature/OliverTwist'' but with cats and dogs in which the focus is on the street animals only in a human world.

** ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'' is about a clownfish looking for his lost child under the sea as well in the human world. A similar case with [[WesternAnimation/FindingDory his recent sequel]].
* Much of the drama in ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest'' centers on three young BarefootCartoonAnimals on a hazardous mission to retrieve medicinal herbs. There are incidental humans, but none are named, and none get more than a minute or two of screen time.

''UpForGrabs by Basara-kun. Let's fix this thing, added some examples as well starting to remake the description to be something more complete and delete the "animals only" and "child-friendly" thing. Also this NeedsABetterName. Any help is welcome.''
