Barefoot Cartoon Animal



""I hate bullfights! I never eat beef! I'm a vegetarian! I don't even wear shoes!"''"

- Roger Rabbit, "Rollercoaster Rabbit"

Funny Animals have differing levels of clothing, sometimes even between different characters in the same work. You've got your Accessory Wearing Cartoon Animals, who are basically naked except for one or two token items. There are also Half Dressed Cartoon Animals, who wear a shirt or pants, but not both. There are even Fully Dressed Cartoon Animals who have complete outfits. And then there's the subject of this article—cartoon animals who go barefoot (or bare-pawed, if you want to get technical), but are otherwise fully clothed by human standards.

As the number of examples demonstrates, this is a common trope in works featuring Funny Animals. Here are some possible reasons:


 * The trope may be Justified by the characters having hooves, large claws, or oddly-shaped hind paws which it would be difficult for shoes to accommodate.
 * The trope may also be Justified by the characters being from a culture where shoes aren't seen as a social requirement, such as with JRR Tolkien's Hobbits, or are from a civilization that Does Not Like Shoes.
 * There's another possible explanation for this, more or less based in Rule of Perception: Generally, anthropomorphic animals (especially of the Petting Zoo People variety) have essentially human anatomy except for their heads, tails, and (in most cases) feet, so keeping all three of those elements exposed emphasizes their animal qualities and prevents them from appearing too human. (It's not unreasonable to think, for example, that long pants made for animal-people would have long sleeves to accommodate their tails as well, but strangely, almost nobody ever depicts such a thing.)

Spats without shoes or socks count as this trope because they do not cover the soles of the feet.

The One Who Wears Shoes is about aversions of this trope, especially Civilized Animals and Funny Animals who use footwear when going barefoot is normal for the setting.

A lot of Accessory Wearing Cartoon Animals and Half Dressed Cartoon Animals also happen to be barefoot, so to keep things cleaner, this page only covers those who are otherwise properly-dressed.

Most of these characters have Humanlike Foot Anatomy.

 * Most characters from Slylock Fox.

Theater

 * The lions and Rafiki in the theatrical version of The Lion King.

 * Pestor the frog and some additional characters from Adrenalin Misfits, though most of them do not wear t-shirts. A few other characters such as Sabre (a timber wolf) and Blaizer (a salamander) wear open-toed boots.
 * Garr from Breath of Fire III. This is both because the Guardian's (species of which Garr is a member) anatomy includes massive feet and because they wanted to show off said anatomy.
 * A couple of mutant animals from the Crash Bandicoot series also has this such as Koala Kong and the Komodo Brothers. The rest tend to be fully clothed or naked.
 * The beast races in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, the Khajiit and the Argonians, are unable to wear shoes because their feet are bigger and differently shaped. This also extends to helmets; they can't wear anything that covers their whole face. It then got subverted in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, where they are able to do just that.

When he next appeared in casual clothes (in Tools of Destruction), he was wearing boots again (as well as overalls).
 * Several versions of Reader Rabbit.
 * The cast of Rework the Dead: Evil.
 * Inverted with the Sonic the Hedgehog games, since most of the characters wear nothing but shoes and gloves. (Some of the characters, such as Ix, Charmy, and most females do wear actual clothes, but also have shoes and gloves.)
 * Played straight with every single player character in Sonics Schoolhouse, although due to the first-person viewpoint, you have to play two-player to realize this.
 * TY from Ty the Tasmanian Tiger is one of the few main characters in the series who doesn't wear shoes. He's also somehow capable of grinding on rails.

Webcomics

 * The Eldlorian goblins and the Orcs from Planes of Eldlor.
 * The cast of Precocious.
 * Katia Managan from Prequel.
 * The cast of Sabrina Online, although Sabrina herself is a Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal—or at least looks like one, if you believe the Word of God from creator Eric Schwartz that she's actually wearing the furry equivalent of Nude Colored Pants. This trope also holds true for Schwartz's other characters.
 * Some of the furry characters from Sequential Art, mainly Pip and the Squirrel Girls.
 * The cast of SERGOM.
 * The cast of SSDD.

 * Several of the dragons from X Dragoon.
 * The cast of You Say It First and Namir Deiter.

Web Original

 * A great deal of anthro/furry artists on the web always draw their characters barefoot, even if they're otherwise dressed perfectly normally, and even in situations where going barefoot is inadvisable (like, say, in snow). Listing specific artists would likely quadruple the length of the list, however.
 * The trope is very rarely lampshaded, and often times not even noted; that is, it's not uncommon for a character's reference sheet to depict the character barefoot, even in multiple different costumes, but even if it goes into great detail about the character's wardrobe preferences, their preferred footwear (or preference to go barefoot) is never brought up.
 * '90s cult icon Elmo Aardvark usually appeared fully dressed with a red vest and necktie. He ditched the shoes for his appearance on the self-titled web series Elmo Aardvark: Outer Space Detective! in 2004.
 * Bethany and Bob from Game Dogs. This gets outright surreal in episode 8 when Jennifer mentions Bethany's shoes—after we just saw Bethany walk through the door barefoot. And the punchline is that they're out of style. Judging from Bethany's reaction to the remark ("Oh... I see what you did there"), Jennifer may have intended it as some sort of Stealth Insult.
 * Very common in fanworks based on Ruby Quest, which was a borderline Stick Figure Comic. A one-off reference to Ruby's "UNATTRACTIVELY LONG FOOT" would imply this may be canon.
 * Majority of the rabbit repertory company from Starz's 30-Second Bunnies parodies of movies.
 * Some characters from The Wuffers.

 * The cast of Around the World with Willy Fog.

 * Several of the dinosaur characters from Dinosaucers.
 * Driver Dan the lion from Driver Dans Story Train.
 * Peter Puppy in the Earthworm Jim cartoon, where he sports a shirt and some shorts, but no shoes; in the source game, however, he's completely nude.

 * Brian Griffin of Family Guy typically doesn't wear clothes, but when he does, his outfits usually include a shirt and pants but no shoes.

 * Coco the Monkey from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
 * Kermit, Fozzie and Animal from Muppet Babies.
 * Some characters from My Gym Partners a Monkey. (Jake Spidermonkey is a Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal.)
 * A few debatable cases in My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. Although the pony characters have hooves instead of feet, and despite the fact that they don't usually wear much in the way of clothes anyway, a couple of the various outfits and costumes they wear throughout the series either lack footwear entirely, or put footwear on the fore hooves (hand equivalents) while leaving the hind hooves (foot equivalents) unshod. Some examples of the latter scenario would be Applejack's boots and Rainbow Dash's gauntlet/slipper things in their respective Grand Galloping Gala costumes, as well as Rarity's slippers from her bathrobe outfit during her breakdown in "Suited For Success".
 * This choice actually makes sense since ponies don't normally wear clothes to begin with, outfits are usually worn for decorative reasons, and shoes complete the outfit. Also, being quadrupedal, their back hooves will be obstructed by the front hooves or their dresses, so it wouldn't make sense to put shoes on hooves that won't be seen by others.
 * Spike the dragon, who actually does have feet, is always barefoot, even in the few situations where he's otherwise wearing a full outfit (such as the getup he's tossed into in "The Ticket Master" or his bard outfit from "Hearth's Warming Eve").
 * Oakly the Beaver and Victor Vole from The Mysteries of Alfred Hedgehog.
 * Kind of hard to tell in the Russian cartoon Nu Pogodi. The presence of Wolf's claws and what might be paw pads seem to imply this is the case, but everyone's drawn as if they're wearing slippers. Later episodes make it a little clearer that this is the case.
 * The Mouse Queen from The Nutcracker Prince.
 * Some supporting characters from The Oddball Couple. (Fleabag is a Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal while Spiffy and Goldie Hound are Fully Dressed Cartoon Animals.)
 * The anthro pig characters from Olivia.
 * Rat characters Scrag and Mr. Flea from Pearlie.
 * Some of the characters from Pecola.
 * The characters on the show are designed in an origami/cubed style. Though they have flat oval-shaped orbs for paws, those that are the same color as the character's hands and face are considered barefoot by default. The only exception are the penguin characters (who don't wear pants, by the way) that have webbed toes.
 * Bright Eyes and Nose Marie from Pound Puppies.
 * Huey, Dewey and Louie from Quack Pack.
 * Tubb from Great Britain's Rubbadubbers.

 * In The Secret Lives Of Waldo Kitty, majority of the supporting characters in the animated segments had costumes that applied to this trope.
 * One and Five from Seven Little Monsters. One wears a tank top, shorts and a ballcap while Five wears yellow overalls.

 * All the Beast Folk and Petting Zoo People of ThunderCats (2011), excepting Leo, Panthera and the Swordmaker. Justified Trope in the case of the series' cats, shown using their foot claws to climb structures like the giant tree featured in their Gladiator Games. Noble Cats do make a point of wearing spats for fashion's sake.
