History Main / WoodlandCreatures

* In "Vicky Loses Her Icky", [[BabysitterFromHell Vicky]] is turned nice and summons many woodland creatures to help her clean Timmy's room. Unfortunately, she ends up reverting to her nasty self and drives away the animals with her shrieking.
* A bunch of these animals is briefly shown chasing Crocker at the end of "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker".

** In the episode "Squirrely Puffs" where Timmy's dad and mom lead competing camping trips for respective expies of the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, the latter (called the Creampuffs) are joined by singing woodland creatures. The Creampuffs eventually end up being trapped by a storm, and the animals refuse to stop singing, not to mention weaving poisonous berries into their hair; when they finally snap, the animals turn on them.
** In another episode, "Force of Nature", Timmy wishes that the animals living in a park were able to clean up the trash left by humans. The animals eventually become fed up with all the littering and seek revenge.

* ''Literature/TheWildRobot'' revolves around a robot encountering and befriending various wild animals as she survives on an island, where [[NatureIsNotNice nature itself]] isn't as sweet as this trope often portrays it.

* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': The cast mainly consists of forest animals - a rabbit, a chipmunk, a moose, a skunk, a squirrel, an anteater, a couple of beavers and raccoons, a mole, a porcupine, a deer, several bears, a marmot and a flying squirrel - along with a sea otter and a sheep. The show, however, is a ''[[BloodyHilarious gruesome]]'' [[SubvertedKidsShow subversion]] of what you'd expect.

* ''Film/StuartLittle'': The CGI-animated direct-to-video sequel, ''Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild'', has Stuart befriending a skunk named Reeko on a family camping trip, later teaming up with him and the other animals to stop a dreaded mountain lion.

* ''WesternAnimation/SonOfBigfoot'': Dr. Harrison (aka [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti Bigfoot]]) befriends creatures such as a squirrel, bear, woodpecker and a family of raccoons during his time in the woods, as he SpeaksFluentAnimal. He encounters a wolf and a moose in the sequel, but since he is unfamiliar with those animals, [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome they aren't so friendly to him]].

* The [[TheOwlKnowingOne wise owl]], or another NobleBirdOfPrey.

* The flirty but [[SmellySkunk stinky skunk]] (if it's a North American setting).

* A [[SavageWolves ravenous pack of wolves]] or [[CruelCoyotes coyotes]].

* A BrutalBirdOfPrey.

* Burrowing animals such as [[MoleMiner moles, gophers and groundhogs]].

* In the ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' games, most regions have at least one early-route forest where the majority of the {{Mon}}s that appear are based on these sort of animals. They tend to be small, cute rodents (Rattata, Pikachu, Bidoof, etc.), songbirds (Pidgey, Spearow, Tailow), and the occasional hoofed mammal (Stantler, Deerling). The majority of them tend to be Normal-types.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyV'': Featured as a level 1 ability called Critt, a ranger can summon animals with various effects, from rabbits and squirrels to more formidable examples like wild boars and unicorns.

* ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends'': The cast mainly consists of forest animals like a rabbit, a chipmunk, a moose, a skunk, a squirrel, an anteater, a couple of beavers and raccoons, a mole, a porcupine, a deer, several bears, a marmot and a flying squirrel, with the only outliers being a sea otter and a sheep. The show, however, is a ''[[BloodyHilarious gruesome]]'' [[SubvertedKidsShow subversion]] of what you'd expect.

* ''Film/StuartLittle'': The CGI-animated direct-to-video sequel, ''Stuart Little 3: Call of the Wild'', has Stuart befriending a skunk named Reeko on a family camping trip, later saving him and the other animals from a dreaded mountain lion.

* The [[BearyFriendly friendly bear]] ([[CubCuesProtectiveParent unless you mess with her cubs]]).

* ''Animation/TheLittleMole'': The bulk of the cast consists of these. Beside the eponymous mole, there's a mouse, a hare and a hedgehog as his closest friends, a wise old owl who serves as a mentor, and a broad range of birds, frogs, insects and other animals as minor or background characters.

* A KidnappingBirdOfPrey.

* ''WesternAnimation/OverTheHedge'': The main cast consists entirely of such creatures, counting a raccoon, a turtle, a squirrel, a skunk, an opossum father and daughter and a family of porcupines, who live together and interact in a North American woodland that is converted into suburbs.

** ''WesternAnimation/BrotherBear'' features mostly bears and moose but contains many of the other creatures you'd expect, with the addition of mammoths.

* A [[SavageWolves ravenous pack of wolves]] or [[CruelCoyote coyotes]].

Rarer members of these ensembles include ferrets/polecats, waterbirds (mostly ducks or geese), opossums, porcupines (or hedgehogs if it's a European setting), frogs, newts, snakes, wild boars, quails and occasionally (if it's a Japanese setting) the mysterious {{Tanuki}}. Insects such as [[PrettyButterflies butterflies]], ladybugs and [[VirtuousBees bees]] may also join the company.

* A [[SavageWolves ravenous pack of wolves]].
