''Animal Actors'' is a show at the Ride/UniversalStudios parks. From dogs, to birds, to pigs, the show contains a wide variety of animal acts and explanations behind how animals are trained and used in movies.
The show originated at Universal Studios Hollywood in 1970. 20 years later, it opened with Universal Studios Florida on June 7, 1990. Another decade later, a third iteration opened with Universal Studios Japan on March 31, 2001.

!!''Animal Actors'' provides examples of:
* AlliterativeTitle: ''Animal Actors''
* AudienceParticipation: Child volunteers are brought on stage for various segments of the show.
* BarrierBustingBlow: In a former segment of the show, a dog would come on stage by bursting through a stone wall.
* ChromaKey: Both this and a wind machine is used to give off the illusion of a bird flying across various locations.
* DisturbedDoves: In the finale of the show, a huge flock of birds comes out of a piece of the set and soars over the audience's heads.
* EnforcedPlug: The show has occasionally been used to market movies like ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretLifeOfPets''.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: The show used to feature a segment with an orangutan, but it was later removed after protests from animal rights groups.
* ExcitedShowTitle: Known as ''Animal Actors: On Location!'' at the Florida park.
* FakingTheDead: A dog (after being given enough incentive) plays dead instead of leaping into the arms of the volunteer as planned. In Hollywood's show, the bit occurs after it fails to do an obstacle course correctly.
* InCaseYouForgotWhoWroteIt: Known as ''Universal's Animal Actors'' at the Hollywood park.
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: A former segment of the show involved a boy volunteer and a dog having to act out a scene where they are menaced by an (animatronic) alligator.
* RimShot: A "ba dum tss" sound plays after a bird is taken away by a "stage hand".
* RunningGag: Hollywood's show has a "Today's Special" sign that keeps getting changed by the animals. At first the special is "chicken fingers", but a chicken changes the special to a "ham sandwich". Later, a pig comes by and changes the sign to say "chicken sandwich", and finally, another bird comes by and changes the sign to say "vegetarian sandwich".
* TheScapegoat: When the host lays down a dog treat in preparation for a stunt between a dog and a child volunteer, an otter (or some other animal) suddenly appears and takes the treat while the host is looking away. This leads to the host thinking that the child volunteer took the treat.
* ScrewThisImOutOfHere: In one segment, the host has a volunteer put out their arm to catch various types of birds. When they're about to catch a large vulture, the child (secretly by the command of the host) instead runs back to their seat.
* SpecialGuest: All of the animals are this from the perspective of the show's plot, as they are said to have starred in various movies.
* StuntDouble: In-Universe. A former segment of the show had the hosts bringing in a stunt double for a dog that's supposed to "attack" an animatronic alligator. For humor's sake, the stunt double dog looked nothing like the original dog.
* TalkingAnimal: Florida's show includes an appearance by Frank the Pug, a talking dog from the ''Franchise/MenInBlack'' movies.
* UpdatedReRelease: The show has gone through several revisions over the years, changing the acts and even animals featured.
* UrineTrouble: In the obstacle course segment of Hollywood's show, one of the dogs pees on the volunteer's shoulder instead of jumping over them as planned.
* VisualPun: One of the show's birds is taken off the stage by a "stage hand" -- a human hand sticking out of a part of the set.
