!!Cartoony Foot Stance Examples:

* Gromit from the ''WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit'' shorts and film. He even has a funny walk where he puts down one foot at a time, quickly.
* Pluto and Butch from the WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts and ''WesternAnimation/MickeyMouseClubhouse''.
* The bulldog, Spike and his son Tyke, in ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' cartoons is often seen with a rather bear-like stance like Butch above. It helps give the bulldogs a macho swagger and Butch often has his elbows bent out so that it looks like he's in the same position a human with their fists on their waist would be.
** Same with Tom and the other cats and dogs in the cartoon series. Tom becomes more and more anthropomorphic as time goes on though.
* Spike and Hector, the two bulldogs and Sylvester the cat from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''.
** Most digitigrade animals (cats and dogs) in ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' are shown plantigrade in fact.
** WesternAnimation/PorkyPig averts this trope in the first season of ''WesternAnimation/TheLooneyTunesShow'' by having the unguligrade stance that real pigs have, but he usually appears more digitigrade or plantigrade.
* The cat (e.g., Furball, Rita, Precious, and Crump Kitty) and dog (e.g., Runt, Newt, Buttons, and Barky Marky) characters from ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' switch between plantigrade stance and digitigrade stance DependingOnTheArtist or episode. Buttons is nearly always shown digitigrade like a real dog though.
* Jake from ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' has feet that are just toes.
* The bull in the old WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit cartoon "Chilly con Carmen"
* The moose in the WesternAnimation/{{Classic Disney Short|s}} ''Moose Hunters''.
* Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar from the WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts are an example even though more modern appearances always depict them with shoes.
** You don't see their back hooves anymore and their front hooves are drawn as hands, but in their really early appearances, you could see that they clearly exemplify this trope.
* The dog and cat characters from ''Literature/CliffordTheBigRedDog'' look plantigrade (but drawn with just toes on the ground) in some poses, but look digitigrade in other poses.
* Same with the dog and cat characters from ''WesternAnimation/KryptoTheSuperDog'', though some dogs, like Strectcho Mutt, and many cats really are drawn as plantigrade.
* Courage and Katz in ''WesternAnimation/CourageTheCowardlyDog'' have feet that are just toes.
* WesternAnimation/QuickDrawMcGraw and Baba Looey from the Creator/HannaBarbera cartoons.
** Averted in one Creator/{{Boomerang}} short cartoon where the two characters are drawn more realistically and with the proper unguligrade stance.
* Played straight with Pig, Dog, Duck, and Sheep from ''WesternAnimation/WordWorld'', but averted with Cat from the same show.
* The Goodfeathers, the Girlfeathers, The Godpigeon, Chicken Boo, and the other bird chracters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}''.
* WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck, Tweety, Foghorn Leghorn, Henery Hawk, Yoyo Dodo from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes''. Averted with Roadrunner, however.
* Plucky Duck, Shirley the Loon, Fowlmoth, Sweetie, Gogo Dodo, and Li'l Beeper from ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures''.
* WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck and the other duck characters in the WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts and ''WesternAnimation/DuckTales1987''.
* WesternAnimation/WoodyWoodpecker
* Puppetry example: Big Bird in ''Series/SesameStreet'' is a human in a suit, therefore Big Bird has the same joints as a human. Creator/JimHenson's sketchbook shows a design that would have averted it (the puppeteer would have faced backward, so his knees seemed to bend back instead of forward), but it was deemed impractical.
* The lions and the camel in ''WesternAnimation/TheCatInTheHatKnowsALotAboutThat''.
** Creator/DrSeuss in general, really.
* Buddy and Annie the ''T. rex''es from ''WesternAnimation/DinosaurTrain'' are examples, but most of the other dinosaurs that are supposed to be digitigrade avert this trope.
* Inversion: Mice are supposed to be plantigrade, but the mice in the original ''WesternAnimation/AngelinaBallerina'' cartoon are digitigrade (all the better to dance ''en pointe'', one supposes).
** Then un-inverted in the more recent CGI cartoons, where the characters are much more human-like (including always wearing shoes).
* Similarly, the AnimatedAdaptation of ''{{Literature/Redwall}}'' gave even the mouse characters a digitigrade stance. Made somewhat awkward by the fact that Matthias and Cornflower wore sandals that were still designed for a plantigrade stance.
* Bo and Karla from ''WesternAnimation/MamaMirabellesHomeMovies''. The former has feet that are just toes and the latter has feet that are just hooves.
* ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' goes both ways with this. While the feet of many of the ponies don't entirely look like actual hooved feet, they do actually walk like real equines. There are a number of occasions where they appear to have "elbows" in the middle of their forelegs, though, for gesturing purposes.
* Inverted with Pepper Clark, the skunk in ''WesternAnimation/LittlestPetShop2012'': She is digitigrade, while real skunks are plantigrade.
* The ducks, crows, parrots, and chickens in ''WesternAnimation/SittingDucks''.
* Inverted with Master Splinter in the 2003 ''WesternAnimation/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|2003}}'' series. He generally stands on his toes, which seems to be a stylistic choice - until flashbacks show him walking on all fours in a digitigrade stance, even though rats are plantigrade.

!!Cartoony Foot Shape Examples:

* In the ''WesternAnimation/TomAndJerry'' franchise, Jerry's feet bear very little resemblance to the feet of real mice and the two toes he has look rather like the two toes on camel feet.
** Speedy Gonzales from ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' has two-toed feet as well, but his feet look more like rabbit or hare feet with two toes.
* WesternAnimation/PorkyPig normally has feet and hooves shaped like slippers.
* A white-furred female cat in the 1942 ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoon, "WesternAnimation/TheHepCat" has built-in high heels for front feet and back feet.
* Piglet and Eeyore from ''Franchise/WinnieThePooh'' don't have hooves, just feet.
* WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}}, Max, and even [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse Mickey]] and Minnie Mouse have feet that look awfully like human feet.
** Mickey and Minnie also have hand and foot proportions that would be more appropriate for a Canada Lynx than for a mouse.
** Nearly all {{Dogfaces}} have awfully human-like feet in fact.
* Fifi La Fume from ''WesternAnimation/TinyToonAdventures'' is usually seen with two toes on each foot, despite being a skunk and all.
* Minerva Mink from ''WesternAnimation/{{Animaniacs}}'' has feet that look a lot like human feet.
** Skippy Squirrel's feet look unusually huge and catlike for a squirrel.
* In ''WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers'', one of the horses on the very...questionable carousel from Tina's early childhood had ''human feet.''
* Cows in the WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts from the mid-1920s to the early 1930s, whether four-legged or two-legged, have feet that look somewhere between cats' feet and camels' feet.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow''. Ren's feet usually look appropriate for a dog (aside from having three toes instead of four), but can sometimes look somewhat humanoid, while Stimpy has plantigrade toeless feet.
* Literally everyone on ''WesternAnimation/SWATKats'', especially T-Bone and Razor.
* Unlike her live action adult puppet counterpart, Piggy from ''[[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies1984 Jim Henson's Muppet Babies]]'' has more human-like feet, four toes on each foot, instead of having hoof-like feet. But in the [[WesternAnimation/MuppetBabies2018 reboot]], she has hooves like her adult counterpart.
* Rare Inversion: Many human characters in ''WesternAnimation/TheFlintstones'', especially female ones, have feet that are shaped rather like cats' hindfeet, including Wilma Flintstone and Betty Rubble.
* Another inversion: Human characters in ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' have three-toed feet that are shaped rather like cat's hindfeet.
** Only when looked at from a distance. When the feet are shown close up, the feet are shown to have four toes and generally have a human like shape. Ocassionally, they will [[GrossUpCloseUp show more frightening details]]
* All the [[FunnyAnimal anthropomorphic]] characters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Arthur}}'' have awfully human-like feet.
* WesternAnimation/DaffyDuck has feet rather like those of a cat or a rabbit in the '60s WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes shorts.
* Same thing with the avian characters from ''WesternAnimation/GarfieldAndFriends''.
* The prevalent "rabbits and hares with pawpads" inaccuracy is averted with Max Hare and the four [[WhiteBunny white girl bunnies]] in the ''WesternAnimation/SillySymphony'' "WesternAnimation/TheTortoiseAndTheHare".
* The Creator/TexAvery wolf has feet like a human.
* Ratty and Mole from ''WesternAnimation/MrBogus''.
* [=DoorMouse=] from ''WesternAnimation/TeamUmizoomi'' has rather human feet despite having only four toes.
** The Shape Bandit and some other anthrops have these as well.
* While the alligators of ''WesternAnimation/SittingDucks'' are plantigrade like real-life crocodilians, their feet look somewhat humanoid (aside from having three toes, despite alligators having four) and lack webbing between the toes.
