** There is one significant human child in ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'', named "Boo" by the protagonists.[[note]][[GivenNameReveal Her real name is apparently Mary]], according to the drawings hanging in her room.[[/note]] 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.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BlazeAndTheMonsterMachines'', there's 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).

** ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleBook1967'': 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. Humans characters are important for how they affect the protagonists, with the most important being Andy (the kid who owns the main character).

** ''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.

* ''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.

* 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, animals being the only focus on the episode.
* ''Anime/DigimonXEvolution'': Unlike every other entry in the [[Franchise/{{Digimon}} Digimon franchise]], no humans appear in this special, with the focus being solely on the Digital Monsters themselves.

* {{ComicBook/Voyagis}} focuses on Alien world of Modia, with only human character being Joy, Earth girl who is telephaticaly linked to [[TheHero Sen]] thanks to DreamLand.

* Stephen Pastis's AuthorAvatar is the only human main character in ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine''. However, one-shot human characters appear quite often.

--> '''Warthog Delegate:''' Sacred skies, it jabbers on like one of the bipedal apes you find in the Interior forests. All they do is [[spoiler:screech and try to show off their advancements in tool-using and theoretical mathematics to you]].

* Also Creator/{{Pixar}}, which is somewhat famous for "What if X had feelings?" movies.

*** 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.

* Much of the drama in ''WesternAnimation/OnceUponAForest'' centers on three young {{Barefoot Cartoon Animal}}s 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.
* Humans in the ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' movies basically act as moving scenery, making little to no direct interaction with the mouse characters that make up the main cast.
* {{Subverted}} in the original ''WesternAnimation/IceAge''. Although 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.

* Creator/RichardAdams' book ''Literature/WatershipDown'' has its focus mainly on a troop of rabbits that journey far afield seeking a new home. There are several humans in the story, but few are named, and they tend to be more plot devices than characters. Much of the drama centers on the hazards rabbits face traveling overland, and the dystopian warrens they encounter in their travels, such as Efrafa.
* ''Literature/WarriorCats'' focuses on Clans of feral cats. They almost never see humans or their vehicles unless patrolling the borders of/leaving their territory, and they mainly appear as hazards to be avoided. Only in the graphic novels do any of them get speaking roles, but even then they're minor, and it's because the reader is seeing a bit wider view than the main character's viewpoint, unlike in the actual books.
* In ''Literature/SurvivorDogs'', all humans have evacuated the area due to an earthquake and were forced to leave their dogs. The dogs must survive on their own in the wilderness. The only humans depicted are either dead or ominous people who [[spoiler:test radioactive substances on the dogs]].
* ''Literature/{{Firstborn}}'' is from the POV of a magpie living amongst wolves. Humans are shown but very few talk and Maggie doesn't even know their names.
* In ''Literature/VarjakPaw'', humans are referenced but they don't appear outside of the gentleman. The characters are all cats.
* In ''Literature/{{Bambi}}'', the only humans shown are the hunters, a boy in the sequel, and the person that [[spoiler:reared Gobo after he was injured as a fawn.]]
* ''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. However, ''Dragonslayer'' averted this by being in the point-of-view of three human characters.
* ''Literature/TailchasersSong'' is from the POV of a feral kitten as he goes on an adventure to figure out the cat disappearances in his area. Humans (or "Big Ones" as they're called) are few and far between and are little more than background scenery. Cats see them as their servants.

* In the ''Franchise/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 Robotnik 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''.

* ''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.

* The Chilean EdutainmentShow ''WebAnimation/MiPerroChocolo''[[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.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Tugs}}'' focuses on {{Sentient Vehicle}}s; all we ever see of the humans are megaphones.

* ''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''. But even then that in a separate dimension and the human characters never really interact with a straight pony that isn't turned into a human (or a dog in Spike's case) when an Equestrian comes into the human world.

* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'': It is known that humans and {{Youkai}} coexist in the same society, but there are exactly ''four'' named humans in this game.

* 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 Robotnik 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''.

* The ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'' shorts that focus on the pokemon usually give their human trainers bit parts in the beginning and end, and we mostly only see them from the eye level of the smaller (and cuter) pokemon (their lower legs and feet).
