* ''WebAnimation/NostalgiaSquare'': Downplayed since [=NostalgiaSquare=] is shown to be smart most of the time, but he's also rather bone-headed at times, as he's prone to doing thoughtless and stupid things because of his own selfishness and SpoiledBrat nature. Meanwhile, the animals (mainly that of Scratch Cat, Molly, Cronica, and Lightlow) have been shown to have much more consistent and higher intelligence than [=NostalgiaSquare=], as they are able to think things through, solve their problems without violence, and are able to express their emotions. They are also able to talk to each other and to the other characters, and have been shown to be very cunning and helpful as well.
