History Main / NoFocusOnHumans

* ''VideoGame/{{Primordia}}'' focuses exclusively on robots, with no humans period. Humanity ''is'' an important part of the backstory and setting, but is seemingly [[HumanitysWake long-extinct by the time of the story]]; the closest you ever come to meeting one is stumbling upon a skeleton in an old abandoned base. A [[AllThereInTheManual supplementary short story]] reveals [[spoiler:humans aren’t actually extinct yet... but [[TokenHuman only one appears in any capacity]], it’s made clear her community is [[TheRemnant the very last bastion of mankind]], and it’s also clear that [[DoubleSubversion they’re on their last legs and will probably be dead soon anyways, with robotkind none the wiser]].]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheExodite'' is a 3D animated series set in the TabletopGme/{{Warhammer 40000}} universe. Quite refreshingly for an otherwise human-centric franchise, this series follows Lako'ma, a T'au [[SergeantRock Shas'vre]] Stealthsuit squad commander, in her hunt for the titular [[SpaceElves Exodite]] on a hotly-contested world. The Imperium appears as enemy forces and are not really given much focus.

* ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekProdigy'' takes place in the Franchise/StarTrek universe where humans exist, but the events of this series happen far from human occupied space and the closest thing to a human in the main cast is a holographic simulation of [[Series/StarTrekVoyager Kathryn Janeway]].

* Ronald-Ann was the only human who had a speaking role in ''WesternAnimation/AWishForWingsThatWork''.
* ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'': We only ever see the legs of a housemaid, and Tom is "just" a cat while she's present.
* ''Franchise/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.

* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'': For most of the show's run, Finn is the only human known to exist on the Land of Ooo (thus why he's often referred as "Finn the Human"). Eventually, a few human characters appear, such as Susan Strong and Finn's father Martin, and one major character, [[spoiler:Ice King]] is revealed to have been human once. The "Islands" mini-series reveals that humans are still alive in a group of distant islands separated from the rest of Ooo.

* ''WesternAnimation/CareBearsUnlockTheMagic'': The show takes place in the Silver Lining, an area adjacent to the Care Bears' home of Care-A-Lot. As such, no humans are seen, although preparations for Easter are mentioned in one episode.

** ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' series only focus on the sentient toys. Humans characters are important for how they affect the protagonists, with the most important being Andy (the kid who owns the main character).

* {{Subverted}} in the original ''WesternAnimation/Iceage''. Althought the main characters are animals, the main focus of the story is returning a human baby to his tribe, who also appear regularly throughout the movie. In all the sequels, you'd be forgiven for thinking humans just don't exist in the franchise's universe.

* In the ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' series, aside from Doctor Eggman himself who is a villainous version of the TokenHuman, the classic titles featured no humans whatsoever, to the point where it was unclear for a while if the cast inhabited our world at all. Starting with ''VideoGame/SonicAdventure'', characters were explicitly shown to live around cities with plenty of walking, talking human beings, but even then very few contribute in any meaningful way. Maria and Gerald Robotnick are vital to the plot as characters, but only show up in flashbacks, Princess Elise and Professor Pickles only make appearances in their own games and never again, and otherwise interaction between the FunnyAnimal cast and humans is strictly limited to incidental NPC dialogue in the handful of games that offer hub worlds. ''VideoGame/ShadowTheHedgehog'' broke away from the trend with the President, his assistant, and several GUN members having more than a few speaking lines, as well as the aforementioned princess and a few others in ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog2006''.

* ''Literature/WingsOfFire'': Humans are referred to as "scavengers" (due to knights scavenging off of dragons treasures) and they are an endangered species that only pop up a few times. The dragons see them as dumb, weak prey animals and they're given quite a few {{Family Unfriendly Death}}s.

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 Level 2 refers to LivingProp humans, Level 3 refers to very few humans added to the animal cast, and Level 4 refers to a human protagonist in an animal cast. Compare and contrast AbsentAliens, in which the aliens are this trope for humans. See also HumansThroughAlienEyes.

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

* There's one episode of ''Anime/ExcelSaga'' that parodied Creator/{{Disney}}'s WorldOfFunnyAnimals in which Menchi escapes from Excel and joins a group of talking stray dogs, being animals the only focus on the episode.

* Humans are very common, and may be the dominant species, but only a few appear in the story, which is dominated by animal or fantasy characters (Example: ''WesternAnimation/FindingNemo'', ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'').
* 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: ''Disney/OliverAndCompany'').

** In ''Disney/{{Bambi}}'', humans don't appear often but play an important role [[spoiler:(prominently Bambi's mother get killed by a human deer hunter)]].
** ''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. Only a handful of human characters play important roles in the story.
** ''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.

* 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 specifically children) that appear in a world full of {{Sentient Vehicle}}s where all creatures are despised as monster trucks (animals included).

* Technically, ''Webcomic/TheWorldOfVickiFox'' is LionsAndTigersAndHumansOhMy, but it's a very mild case. Humans exist in Vicki's world, but they don't show up often and have almost no bearing on the plot, leading to this trope. On the SlidingScaleOfAnimalCast, the strip is a Level 3. Also,none of the human characters have reappeared since the strip's hiatus ended in 2017.

** 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/MegaMan4'' with Dr. Cossack and his daughter Kalinka.

** "Literature/TheImaginary": This story inverts AbsentAliens, as humans from Earth are completely missing from the tale. Instead, the story continues from Tan Porus's experiments with the Beta Draconis IV squids.

* SwirlyEnergyThingy: After being exposed to light from a [[GreenRocks mercury vapourlamp]], the squid was supposed to demonstrate an imaginary number reaction. This reaction consisted of a spherical glow that [[BrownNote killed anything it came into contact with]].
