== [[Anime and Manga]] ==
* While this didn't happen to individual [[Digimon (Franchise)|Digimon]] in Digimon, it did happen with the design ethos of Digimon as a whole. In the initial birth of the franchise, humanoid Digimon were still given lots of unhuman traits to make sure the audience knew that they were still monsters. For instance, Angemon being [[The Faceless]] and possessing downy fur, and he was one of the most human ones. As the franchise progressed, new humanoid Digimon became more overtly humanoid and less monstrous: compare the fluffy and [[The Faceless]] enigmatic Angemon and Angewomon to Lucemon or Tinkermon (who are both essentially human children with wings and tattoos (and claws in the case of Tinkermon)), for example.
** Traditional anthropomorphic shift can still be seen in a handful of Digimon species. For example, comparing the scaly and reptilian Agumon from the original [[Virtual Pet]] to the round, glove-wearing Agumon from ''[[Digimon Savers (Anime)|Digimon Savers]]''. Or comparing [[Expy]] subspecies, like the more dinosauroid Greymon to the more human-proportioned Geo Greymon.
*** Even more commonly, this happens within a single Digimon line, as a Digimon digivolves to the Mega level. For example Metalgreymon to Wargreymon.
 
Line 34:
* In the UK's ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' comic book series, aptly titled ''[[Sonic the Comic]]'', Sonic's allies Porker Lewis and Jonny Lightfoot start off as cute little animal critters like those busted out of Badniks in the games. They talk, but they're small, animal proportioned, without clothes and tend to go on all fours. Their shift, however, is anything but gradual: in issue #21 of the series, they are totally bipedal, human-proportioned and fully clothed (in biker jackets and jeans, to be precise). Within a few more issues, Porker's hooves became ordinary human hands.
** Within the somewhat official but fan-made ''[[Sonic the Comic Online]]'' comic, already shifted characters gained further shifts. In Sally's cameo for the 250th issue, she had been revamped to [http://www.stconline.co.uk/250/250/pinup/pinup_5_large.jpg look more like her Archie] counterpart compared to her game counterpart. Oddly though, other characters based off Sonic's animal friends from the Genesis games still look like their game versions (though Joe Sushi is wearing a jacket like Rotor).
** Strangely inverted in [[Sonic the Hedgehog (Comic Bookcomics)|the Archie comics]] with Drago Wolf; before, he was just as humanoid as the other prominent Mobian characters. In a later comic, though, he was redesigned to be more feral and [[Our Werewolves Are Different|werewolf-esque]], complete with more animalistic eyes and digitigrade feet instead of plantigrade like he normally had.
** Played straight in that issue with Lupe, who almost looked human.
*** On the other hand, every other wolf in that issue were similar to their classic design, and Drago had received cybernetic implants, so it's possible those were just cosmetic modifications.
* In [[Robert Crumb]]'s ''[[Fritz the Cat (Comic Bookcomics)|Fritz the Cat]]'', Duke the Crow and Fritz crash a stolen car, and Duke flies Fritz onto the bridge before the car crashes into the river. In the [[Fritz the Cat (Animationanimation)|movie]], however, Duke grabs onto a railing because [[Ralph Bakshi]] disliked the idea of [[Furry Denial|having anthropomorphic characters behave like animals]] to further the plot.
 
== [[Film]] ==
Line 43:
** Heck, even Godzilla's LOOK became more anthropomorphic during the 1960s-1970s. Just compare how he [http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk210/xolta_99/1810602_780cf736b9_m.jpg looked in the original 1954 film] to how [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Y38IW_SOQIw/TM3Fuj2zxLI/AAAAAAAAGNM/wLv06y6srls/s1600/vlcsnap-2010-10-31-12h22m27s8.png he looked in 1974]
* ''[[Ice Age]]'' - The first movie involved animals who could [[Animal Talk|talk to each-other but were otherwise not human-like at all]], and they rescued a baby human. Flash-forward a few years and the same animal characters now star in a short where one of them takes a group of animal youngsters ''camping''. The hell?
* The Rock-Biter had this in ''[[The Neverending Story (Filmfilm)|The Neverending Story]]''. In the first movie, he is a giant creature sitting in the mountains. In the third he is living with his family in a [[Sit ComSitcom]]-like household which even (somewhat undermining the series' message) has a TV.
* In the first ''[[The Lion King]]'' film, one of the few times when one of the lions used a paw like a hand was Scar in the gag scene when he used a skull as a puppet. Otherwise, paws were paws, and used the way most cats use their paws. In ''TLK2'', the paws suddenly became inexplicably dexterous hands which the cats used in a humanlike way--to pick things up and make gestures--complete with opposable thumbs.
** Simba used his paws when it came to bugs, and in a human-like way, in the first movie.
* Todd the [[Toy Story (Animation)|Pizza Planet truck]] from ''[[Cars (Animation)|Cars]]''.
** Inverted with Snot Rod (he appears on Andy's calendar) in ''[[Toy Story 3]]''.
** Doc Hudson actually first appeared as a non-anthropomorphic Hudson Hornet seen near the end of ''[[The Incredibles (Animation)|The Incredibles]]''.
** Back to ''[[Toy Story 3]]'', this was also played straight with Finn McMissile, who first appeared as a non-anthro car on one of Andy's posters.
* Inverted with Cyril Proudbottom, a [[Partially-Civilized Animal]] in ''[[The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad]]'', but he's a [[Nearly-Normal Animal]] in ''[[Mickey's Christmas Carol]]''.
* The Toad in ''[[Flushed Away]]'' apparantly went through this during his [[Start of Darkness]].
* Baby Po in ''[[Kung Fu Panda 2 (Animation)|Kung Fu Panda 2]]'' is a [[Nearly-Normal Animal]], unlike his adult form, which is a [[Funny Animal]].
* Edmund from ''[[Rock -a -Doodle]]'' actually starts out as a naked, quadrupedal [[Nearly-Normal Animal|normal]] cartoon cat after being transformed by the evil Duke of Owls, but immediately turns into a [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal|half-dressed]], bipedal [[Funny Animal]] cartoon cat after realizing that all of the other animals are wearing clothing and not him.
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* The children's book and television series ''[[Arthur (Animationanimation)|Arthur]]''. He's an [[Arthur (Literatureanimation)|aardvark]]. Early books, written in the late 70's, had Arthur look ''very'' much like an aardvark, right down to the foot-long nose. As a matter of fact, his long nose was a major plot point. In current books, and on his PBS series he looks... like a teddy bear? A donkey? A guinea pig? Possibly?
** And at this point, as far as some of the other characters, you'll just have to take Marc Brown's word for it what species they are. Notably, an old CBBC puppet mascot called Otis the Aardvark looked more like one than Arthur did.
* Another children's book-and-TV series: ''[[Franklin]]''. The titular turtle, in his earliest books written in the mid-80's, was much more to-scale in comparison with his friends Bear, Fox, and Otter. By the time the TV series aired, all animals were the same size and Franklin lost his more distinctly reptilian features such as his claws.
Line 67:
* ''[[Angelina Ballerina]]'' actually portrayed all of the mice as [[Civilized Animal|Civilized Animals]] in both the books and the first cartoon series, but they are fully anthropomorphized in the CGI cartoon series.
* The mice in the film adaptation of ''[[The Tale Of Desperaux]]'' are more anthropomorphized than the ones in the book.
* In the ''[[Arashi no Yoru Nini]]'' books the characters look like regular animals. The manga and anime made them more anthro but they're still very natural. The 2012 cartoon based off the books gave them more human-like expressions. [http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/5679/1334424288293.jpg For comparisons sake].
* [[Played for Drama]] in ''[[Animal Farm]]''. {{spoiler|[[And Then John Was a Zombie|By the end of the book, no one can tell the pigs from the humans]].}}
 
 
== [[Live Action TV]] ==
* Arguably, Blue from ''[[BluesBlue's Clues]]''. She now has her own room where she can stand upright, and speak.
** Hey, it's a ''magical'' room!
* In ''[[Red Dwarf (TV)|Red Dwarf]]'', the overtly catlike aspects of The Cat's personality became progressively less prominent (to the point of being vestigial) as the series progressed, essentially making him a regular character who happens to be selfish and obsessed with his appearance.
 
== [[Newspaper Comics]] ==
Line 80:
** Odie has retained his inability to talk (or... "think-talk"), but otherwise does not resemble the slobbering pooch from the comic's early days. He's still [[The Ditz]], though.
* Snoopy from ''[[Peanuts]]'', after Charlie Brown taught him to walk upright in 1958.
* The title character of ''[[Pogo (Comiccomic Stripstrip)|Pogo]]'' used to look much more like a real possum. Walt Kelly says that was a problem before [[Growing the Beard]].
* In the early years of the strip, the all-avian cast of ''[[Shoe]]'' was little more than talking birds, and Roz's Roost was little more than a bird feeder. The strip later evolved to make the birds more humanlike, with all of them wearing clothes and the females sporting [[Non-Mammal Mammaries]].
* Inverted in ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]''. While he still tended to walk upright, unless about to pounce Calvin, Hobbes became increasingly more cat-like as the strip progressed (Watterson himself even noted of it), and would often be seen doing typical cat things such as sleeping in front of the window, and scratching himself with his foot when left to his own devices.
Line 87:
 
== [[Video Games]] ==
* The Koopa(s?) in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' were originally just turtles. Ever since ''[[Super Mario Bros 3 (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros 3]]'', they've slowly been humanized game by game.
** By ''[[Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game)|Super Mario Galaxy]]'', normal Koopa Troopas are still just turtles (and even walk on all four). Other species, like Magikoopas, are anthropomorphic.
** Yoshi and Koopa/Bowser have also stood more and more upright as time went on.
* While ''[[Pokémon (Franchise)|Pokémon]]'' in general are still very animal-like and non-anthropomorphic they've become ''somewhat'' more anthropomorphic over the generations. In general it's more-so the mindset and how they interact with people then the way they look. Probably the biggest example of this trope is the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (Video Game)|Mystery Dungeon]]'' games. The Pokémon all ''look'' nonhuman, but they act so much like humans (what with true civilization, folk tales, and an economy with currency) that the protagonist being able to almost instantly adjust to life as another species sounds very plausible in context.
* Although they're still nonhumanoid computers, both GLaDOS and the personality cores gained a lot of recognizable human body language between the first ''[[Portal (Video Gameseries)|Portal]]'' and its sequel.
** Which is a damn good trick for a basketball with an implanted flashlight...
* ''Inverted'' in [[Solatorobo]]. [[Tail Concerto]] featured character designs that were more or less animal heads and tails on slightly [[Super-Deformed]] human bodies. Solatorobo tends to diversify the body types quite a bit more, with cats getting incredibly slender, borderline digitigrade legs and dogs coming in a wider verity of breeds.
Line 99:
** ''Achewood'' was originally about stuffed animals that can come to life. The original characters were Teodor (teddy bear), Cornelius (teddy bear), Phillipe (stuffed otter), and Lyle (stuffed tiger). All of the animals are "based on" real stuffed animals owned by the author; you can find pictures of their counterparts on the site. Later, the strip spread out to include the lives of various house cats around town. It seems to be these house cats who have developed the Achewood Underground, and the living stuffed animals are their friends but not necessarily residents of the Underground (they all still live in the author's house, and the author is even occasional character in the strip). However, most newcomers to the strip don't realize that Teodor is actually a teddy bear and not a housecat-sized bear. If you think about it too hard, the universe doesn't make any sense at all ... so, [[MST3K Mantra|don't think about it.]]
*** One of the more important distinctions between Achewood and uh other webcomics is that Onstad clearly doesn't give a shit about [[Fan Wank|this stuff]]. Characters are [[Rule of Funny|as anthropomorphic as the gag or story arc demands]].
* Inverted in ''[[Digger (Webcomic)|Digger]]''. In the beginning, the main character had a [[Non-Mammal Mammaries|slight bust]] to indicate that she was female. These were removed, and now she just looks like any other wombat to human eyes.
* Most characters in ''[[The Beast Legion]]'' transform into beasts. Some examples can be found [http://www.thebeastlegion.com/issue-01-page-30-commence-the-attack-2/ 1], [http://www.thebeastlegion.com/issue-04-page-45-dragos-transforms/ 2], [http://www.thebeastlegion.com/issue-06-page-02-suryas-awe/ 3].
 
Line 109:
== [[Western Animation]] ==
* [[Woody Woodpecker]] started off looking very avian like ([[Deranged Animation|and very deranged at that]]) but later switched to a more streamlined, [[Funny Animal]] like design.
* ''[[My Little Pony]] Tales'' is easily the strangest example. The original ''[[My Little Pony]]'' series took place in a fantasy universe (so the few instances of what would have [[Furry Confusion]] were [[Justified Trope|justified]] at least a little). The "Tales" series, on the other hand, had the Ponies ''acting'' exactly like humans, living in houses and involved in such exciting adventures as going to school and so forth. The thing is, the Ponies ''remained unclothed, quadrupedal equines''. Ask yourself [[Feather Fingers|how a creature with hooves]] is supposed to manipulate (or even invent, since there was no mention at all of humans) an electric guitar. ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' takes a step back in comparison to this, but not all the way back: fantasy setting with no humans, but largely "human" paraphernalia, hoof [[Feather Fingers]] avoided but only as far as it's not too inconvenient.
* In his early cartoons, [[Droopy]] was a [[Civilized Animal]] who would switch between two-legged and four-legged stances, but in the later cartoons, he is a definite [[Funny Animal]] who would stay on two legs all or most of the time depending on the cartoon.
* ''[[The Raccoons]]'' originally had the animal heroes and humans co-exist in the same world and even though the animals had furniture in their homes, they still lived in trees etc and in general tried to give an illusion of living as a part of nature. In later seasons the humans completely disappeared, the amount of animal characters increased from a small group to a large community with stores and other services like broadcasting and rail transportation systems, the animals started to live in houses, the pet dog the humans had became the owner of a local pub and it became quite clear that the whole world was inhabited by animals who had a significant amount of technology and culture in their hands (paws).
Line 117:
* [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] and [[Minnie Mouse]] were originally smaller and had more rodent-like features, but began a gradual shift to a more [[Funny Animal|human-like]] appearance starting in the late 1930s.
** Similarly, [[Goofy]] was more dog-like in his original design, and his original name was "Dippy Dawg". Though the character's species was clearly stated in the beginning, his "humanization" has resulted in much [[Furry Confusion]] over what exactly Goofy is supposed to be.
*** Goofy, for a short time, was known as "George Geef" and was completely, unambiguously human except for his head. Other characters in the comics and some other things particularly in Goofy's corner of the Disney universe (mainly [[Goof Troop (Animation)|Goof Troop]], [[A Goofy Movie]], and ''An Extremely Goofy Movie'') have been designed like this too, except so human that at a minimum, the ''only'' canine features may be the nose, muzzle, and ears: see [[Dogfaces]].
** This has less to do with his appearance and more to do with the fact that one of his closest friends ''[[Furry Confusion|owns a non-anthro dog]].''
*** Non-anthro is subjective on that too. [[Pluto the Pup|Pluto]] can talk (about as clearly as [[Scooby Doo]]), has on rare occasion taken a few steps on two legs, is able to use tools, and during one recent short when he got a pair of magic gloves that gave him fingers, he even was playing video games and using the phone.
*** He was even portrayed as a [[Funny Animal]] in the black and white cartoon "Blue Rhythm."
*** Note that Pluto's Scooby-like talking was all in his first year on the screen (''The Moose Hunt'' and ''Mickey Steps Out'', both 1931). There's a later cartoon where he ''thinks'' in a growly voice (''Mickey's Kangaroo'' [1935]), but that doesn't count. It clearly took a little time to determine exactly what Pluto could normally do, but once set, it was permanent.
** Inverted: Pluto and [[Figaro]] ([[Canon Immigrant]] from ''[[Pinocchio (Disney film)|Pinocchio]]'') were already "non-anthro" to begin with, but in ''[[Mickey Mouse Clubhouse]]'', they act almost like normal animals. Before that, they were a little more likely to stand [[Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better|bipedally]] and use their paws like human hands.
** The only time that Mickey and Minnie ever appeared as full-on rodents, right down to being smaller than their domestic surroundings, was in a cartoon that curiously came ''after'' having been anthropomorphic animals in a few other shorts (''Plane Crazy,'' ''Steamboat Willie,'' etc.). This cartoon is ''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66AYGjkN4vE When the Cat's Away]'' (1929). For all the most obvious reasons, this interpretation was never seen again.
** Similarly, Walt Disney's original cartoon star, [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit]], was more rabbit-like in his earlier shorts. By 1928, however, the only thing that could distinguish him as a rabbit was his ears and tail. Until [[Walter Lantz]] obtained the rights to the character and gave him a design ''[[Subverted|more]]'' rabbit-like than his 1927 appearance ([[They Changed It, Now It Sucks|which is most likely one of the reasons Oswald's popularity plummeted]].) [[Double Subverted|Until Disney bought him in 2006 and gave him back his 1928 look.]]
** [[Pete]] was originally a bear and since ''[[Steamboat Willie]]'', is supposed to be a cat, thus why he has a [[Animal Stereotypes|rivalry with Mickey Mouse]]. However, you can only really tell in the first few shorts he's in, including ''[[Steamboat Willie]]''. In more contemporary cartoons like [[Goof Troop (Animation)|Goof Troop]], his design is such that many assumed him to be a dog or [[Dogface]]. [[House of Mouse]] actually had to take the time to remind us that Pete is, in fact, a feline through some [[Furry Reminder]] jokes.
** Clarabelle Cow and Horace Horsecollar of the [[Classic Disney Shorts|old Disney cartoon shorts]] and comics started out as actual four-legged non-anthropomorphic barnyard animals and alternated between anthro and non-anthro roles before becoming full-fledged [[Funny Animal]] characters alongside Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and the others.
** [[Chip and Dale]] started out as [[Talking Animal|Talking Animals]] in their debut, but became [[Partially-Civilized Animal|Partially Civilized Animals]] later on in the [[Classic Disney Shorts]]. They then became straight-up [[Civilized Animal|Civilized Animals]] in ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (Animationanimation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'' and stayed that way ever since.
** Inverted with Zeke [[The Big Bad Wolf]] at the end of ''[[Three Little Pigs]]''.
* Although subtle, by the third season of ''[[The Animals of Farthing Wood (Animation)|The Animals of Farthing Wood]]'', the animals were more human in movement than at the beginning (especially the weasels).
* Interesting example, [[Betty Boop]] was originally a poodle. Seriously. Soon after her first cartoon, her ears were remade into earrings and curly fur became flapper girl hair. So by extension, people who regard Betty [[Perverse Sexual Lust|sex symbol]] are in fact [[Furry Fandom|furries]].
* Brian in ''[[Family Guy (Animation)|Family Guy]]'' follows the [[Rule of Funny]]; while usually unclothed except for his dog collar, he normally is a martini-drinking, Prius-driving (the only identifiable car in the series), bipedal urban sophisticate. When he exhibits canine behavior, it's played for laughs. He did, however, sit like a dog and generally acted more canine in the earliest episodes.
* [[Scooby Doo]] was suffering this by the mid-80s. He was seen walking on two legs all the time (it didn't help that his four legged design was not changed) and he was becoming somewhat less of a [[Speech-Impaired Animal]]. It seems to have been reversed beginning with ''[[A Pup Named Scooby Doo]]'' where he became more of a quadruped again.
* Tom of ''[[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]]'' undergoes this. He looked like a real cat in the first short, but over time the change was striking. He [[Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better|began to walk upright more and more often]]. Other characters underwent a similar transformation, though Jerry himself changed very little over the course of the series, having always been [[Funny Animal|somewhat anthropomorphic]].
** [[Tom and Jerry (Animation)|Tom and Jerry]] both show an increased manual dexterity and interest in human activities over the years.
* Heck, [[Bugs Bunny]]! Though never really acting consistently rabbit-ish (beyond the carrot addicition, that is), there's a striking difference between the way he's drawn and behaves in the black and white and in color. The Early form has a rabbit shaped head whereas the current one's is more of an anime take on a Persian cat with Buck teeth and long ears. Early Bugs had a big ''tukhus'' and would hop around on all fours from time to time. That never happened once he made the jump to color.
** Colored Bugs ''has'' hopped around a few times, though only to fool some idiot into thinking he was an innocent bunny.
** [[Daffy Duck]], too. In his earliest appearances he was a regular-looking duck with some cartoony features. It wasn't until his third or fourth appearance that he began to act more human-like, and his wings gradually evolved into [[Feather Fingers|hands]].
* Rare non-animal example: Originally, all of the mechanical characters from ''[[Thomas the Tank Engine]]'' (such as [[Cool Train|locomotives)]] cannot move at all unless if there is a driver to operate them, but later depictions of said characters were actually all portrayed in a way that they can occasionally move all by themselves without the use of a driver.
* Porky Pig seemed more anthropomorphic in later ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' appearances and in ''[[Duck Dodgers]]'' than in earlier ''[[Looney Tunes]]'' appearances. While he always had ordinary [[Four-Fingered Hands]], in his earliest appearances, his hooves looked like pig's hooves, but in later appearances, his hooves look like slippers. In ''[[Duck Dodgers]]'', he is even [[Humanlike Foot Anatomy|plantigrade]], but he reverts back to an unguligrade (hoof-walking) stance in ''[[The Looney Tunes Show (Animation)|The Looney Tunes Show]]''.
* Inverted with Taz in ''[[The Looney Tunes Show (Animation)|The Looney Tunes Show]]'': He is [[Bugs Bunny]]'s pet and walks on four legs more, whereas in ''[[Looney Tunes]]'', he isn't a pet and he usually walks on two legs.
** Played straight more so in ''[[Taz -Mania]]''. While Taz was originally anthropomorphic in the original shorts, he was something of a wild predator. In the TV show, he has a fully anthro family, and, while still [[The Unintelligible]], he seems to have much more prominent uses of coherent English.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVos-3b4p6w&feature=player_detailpage#t=173s This sequence] from the [[MGM]] short "Sheep Wrecked" demonstrates this trope in short bursts. The lamb starts out as a normal animal (not unlike the sheep that came before or since), but when the plunger the wolf fires catches it and starts dragging it away, it turns into a [[Funny Animal]] and wraps its arms around the fence. We cut to a shot of the wolf as he pulls off some of the lamb's wool, and when we cut back to the lamb, it has been anthropomorphized even further into a [[Petting Zoo People|Petting Zoo Person]]. "Now there's a right purdy [[A Worldwide Punomenon|leg of lamb]]."
* Shaun and his flock in ''[[Wallace and Gromit]]: A Close Shave'' are [[Largely Normal Animal|Largely Normal Animals]]. In ''[[Shaun the Sheep]]'', they're [[Speech-Impaired Animal|Speech Impaired Animals]] (or possibly [[Civilised Animal|Civilised Animals]] given that the only human in the series is also [[The Unintelligible]]). And in ''[[Timmy Time]]'', Timmy and his mother are fully blown [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]] in a [[Funny Animal]] world where sheep, cats and owls go to nursery.
* A large premise of ''[[Tale Spin (Animation)|Tale Spin]]'', which places a few characters from ''[[The Jungle Book (Disney film)|The Jungle Book]]'' into a human like civilization. In the film the animals were natural wild animals with their anthro traits more limited or utilized for humor value. Granted, it varies. For example, Baloo and Louie are nearly identical to their ''Jungle Book'' forms outside being clothed. On the other hand, in ''Jungle Book'' Shere Khan was a four legged animal who only made subtle use of his "hands" similar to the ''Lion King'' examples; in ''Tale Spin'', he stands on his hind legs and is wears a business suit. All three characters have one thing in common, though: they want to get rich (or in Khan's case, rich''er'').
