''Mosley'' is a 2019 computer-animated fantasy film produced by New Zealand animation company Huhu Studios.

In ancient times, the thoriphants were a tall bipedal species who migrated north in response to human encroachment. Those that stayed behind were enslaved by humanity, who used them as beasts of burden. Gradually, their backs became bent and they lost the use of their hands. Some thoriphants believe that their cousins known as the Uprights will return to free them one day.

!!This work contains the following tropes:

* FormerlySapientSpecies: Downplayed with the thoriphants, who have been degraded into four-legged beasts of burden after being enslaved by humans, but retain their ability to speak.
* FurryConfusion: The thoriphants are upright, clothes-wearing beings who are clearly unsettled by the sight of the naked, quadrupedal Mosley.
* HumansAreBastards: The humans have no issues enslaving, abusing and selling these work animals that are clearly talking intelligent beings.
* MixAndMatchCritter: The thoriphants resemble a cross between a goat, a hippo and an elephant.
