Tumble Leaf is an Amazon Prime Video original series for children. Taking place in a land called (what else?) Tumble Leaf, with an [[FunnyAnimal all animal cast]], the protagonist Fig is a blue fox who lives in a wrecked ship on the beach, with a crew of chickens who tend gardens and cook. Fig has rigged up a treasure chest in his ship and calls it "The Finding Place," and twice an episode, Ginkgo the Crab finds an item in the sea and tosses it into the treasure chest, setting off an alert system letting Fig know that something new is in the finding place. The discovery of the item sets off the plot of the episode.

!!''Tumble Leaf'' provides examples of the following tropes:

* FriendlyNeighborhoodSpider: Pine the Porcupine has spiders who spin thread and yarn for her to knit with.
* FullyDressedCartoonAnimal: In the Finding Place sequence, this is especially apparent. Fig goes behind a shower curtain to change from pajamas into clothes.
* SlidingScaleOfAnimalCast: All animal cast, no humans at all.
