In many cartoon TV shows, films, and video games, the female animal characters may be drawn more obviously anthropomorphic than the male animals.
Line 43:
* Inverted in ''[[Kung Fu Panda]]'' in that Tai Lung (a male snow leopard) has a body that looks more human-like than that of Master Tigress [a female tiger]. His body is muscular and looks more human-like so as to contrast with her sleeker, leaner body.
* Sawyer from ''[[Cats Don't Dance]]'' looks more human-like than Danny.
** Not that much, though. The biggest difference seems to be that Danny's really, really skinny while Sawyer's got [[Hartman Hips]]. [https://web.archive.org/web/20151018082247/http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/5700000/Cat-Do-Dance-and-Sing-cats-dont-dance-5708491-720-540.jpg
*** There's also the difference between where those hips are. Sawyer's got the leg to body ratio closer to human, Danny doesn't.
* The female mice in ''[[An American Tail]]'' look a little more human-like than the male mice, more so in the sequels.
Line 51:
* In ''[[The Pebble and the Penguin]]'', the female penguins are given scary human hips way up where their wishbones should be and look more human-like in general.
* Inverted (!) in ''[[Rover Dangerfield]]'', where the character of Rover is humanized quite a bit (he can even stand on his hind legs while doing comedic bits), while the canine love interest looks like a real dog.
* Maid Marian from Disney's ''[[Robin Hood (Disney film)|Robin Hood]]''. What makes this even more obvious is the fact that ''all'' of her dance moves are based on those of ''
* Goldie from ''[[Rock-a-Doodle]]''.
* Beans looks considerably more human-like than [[Rango]]. Also, Angelique the vixen looks considerably more human-like than the other characters, whether male or female.
Line 73:
** In an inversion, many Fighting-types such as Hitmonchan, Machoke, Throh, Sawk, and Hariyama have a stereotypical human male build, though in many cases there's a slight chance they can be female.
* Tawna, Coco and the trophy girls from the ''[[Crash Bandicoot]]'' series are more humanoid compared to Crash himself and other animal characters.
* The females of ''[[Solatorobo]]'' tend to have peach fur and very short muzzles, while the males have longer, more animal-like noses and fur colors from a wider palette like white, grey, or orange. Males may also have bicolor fur (such as Red's tan-and-white face) or distinctly animal-like patterns (Québec is tiger-striped), while all females ever get is [[Facial Markings|a single stripe on each cheek]] (though that's all some males have, too).
** The exception to the "short-muzzle girls" rule is Merveille, who has a longer nose with her peach fur. Notably, this tendency toward short muzzles tends to make people mistake Red's sister Chocolat for a [[Catfolk|Felineko]] when she is in fact just a short-faced Caninu.
Line 81:
** Actually, this varies quite a bit from work to work. Often, a particular artist's characters have about the same level of anthropomorphism regardless of gender.
* In ''[[Adventures of the Puffincat]]'' the image of a female puffincat is essentially a woman with cat ears and a beak (as opposed to the male puffincat, which is more or less what you expect when you imagine something with that name). Amusingly enough, the only difference the narrator recognises [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics|is the presence of a bow in her head]].

Line 88:
* In ''[[Swat Kats]]'', the female cats look more anthropomorphic than the male cats. This is mostly in the heads/faces and hands, and male body builds are fairly humanoid with a few exceptions.
* In ''[[Heathcliff and The Catillac Cats]]'', Cleo (see picture) looks distinctly more anthropomorphic than Riff Raff, Heathcliff and the other cats.
** Notably, however, Hector, Wordsworth and Mungo were about the same height, as were most dogs and other adversaries.
** An exception is Heathcliff's girlfriend Sonja, who has the same round body type that he does. Notably, Sonja is from the original comic unlike Cleo.
* Gadget Hackwrench, the female mouse from ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'', looks more human like than the male mouse Monterey Jack.
* The female [[Dogfaces]] in ''[[Goof Troop]]'' and ''[[A Goofy Movie]]'' look a little more human-like than the male ones, to the point where their noses, muzzles, and ears can often be their only non-human feature.
** This has been lampshaded by both [[Don Rosa]] and [[Carl Barks]], who draw "real" historical characters with this generic doglike feature because [[Walt Disney]] informed both artists that it would be less jarring to see them around [[Funny Animal
*** [[Walt Disney]] wasn't even alive when [[Don Rosa]] began to draw Duck-comics. In any case, Barks made exceptions quite often, especially with many 'ethnic' characters. Rosa on the other hand made only one exception, in ''Quest for [[Kalevala]]'', where the Finnish god-heroes were drawn with human noses and five fingers.
* Rebecca Cunningham from ''[[Tale Spin]]'' has a slimmer, more anthropomorphic body than Baloo.
