{{examples}}
== Automobiles (Cars, Buses, RVs, Trucks, etc.) ==
Line 43:
** Sentient almost everything, you mean. The [[Jerkass]] elevator and the killer helicopter come to mind.
* ''[[Christine]]''
* ''[[Chitty Chitty Bang Bang]]'': the titular car is at least semi-sentient, rather impatient,<ref>At one point when it felt that the knob labeled PULL wasn't being pulled fast enough, it changed the label text to PULL IDIOT.</ref> quite brave,<ref>Near the end, it actually [[Ramming Always Works|rammed]] the [[Big Bad]]'s getaway car because he had [[Berserk Button|kidnapped]] [[Papa Wolf|the children]]</ref> and deeply loyal to its owners. Also, the driver swears that while he was restoring it, he would often find that it had been advancing its own repairs and even modifying itself while he slept.
=== [[Live-Action TV]] ===
Line 66 ⟶ 67:
* ''[[Roary the Racing Car]]''
* Ricardo the racecar in ''[[Doc McStuffins]]''.
* C.A.R. from ''[[The Replacements (animation)|The Replacements]]''
* C.A.R.R. from ''[[Stroker and Hoop]]''. Obvious parody of K.I.T.T. from ''[[Knight Rider]]'', even though K.I.T.T. is an AI installed into a car.<ref>And even though [[Name's the Same|"K.A.R.R."]] was the name of an evil clone of K.I.T.T. from the actual series.</ref>
* Some of the vehicle characters in ''[[Bob the Builder]]''
Line 87 ⟶ 88:
* The cartoon version of ''[[Beetlejuice]]'' had the [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|Dragster Of Doom]] (or "Doomie") for short. A sentient car created through mad science. Oh, and he's also a [[Our Werewolves Are Different|werecar]], transforming into a monsterous version of himself whenever he's in pain or to chase dogs.
* Tonka's ''Chuck and Friends''
* Most [[Transformers|Autobots]] with vehicle modes can qualify if they take on passengers. (Some Decepticons could, too, but you're ''seriously'' better off just walking.)
== Spacecraft (Rockets, Spaceships, etc.) ==
Line 150 ⟶ 152:
=== [[Video Games]] ===
* Windy Plane, the first boss of ''[[Ninja Baseball Bat Man]]''. It's an anthropomorphic prop plane that stands on its tail and punches the player with its front wheels, no less.
* ''[[Deus Ex: Invisible War]]'': features an {{spoiler|AI-piloted helicopter}}.
=== [[Web Comics]] ==-
* ''[[Skin Horse]]'': {{spoiler|[[Brain In a Jar|Nick the Osprey]]}} serves as the [[Black Helicopter]] (well, Black V-22), heavily armed with [[Cluster F-Bomb|Cluster F Bombs]], at least until the censorship software kicked in. (He now swears entirely in unusual euphemisms.)
=== [[Western Animation]] ===
Line 164 ⟶ 170:
=== [[Film]] ===
* Little Toot in ''[[Melody Time]]''.
=== [[Video Games]] ===
* ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'' has the King of Red Lions, a small sail boat who talks. {{spoiler|And is actually the King of Hyrule.}}
=== [[Western Animation]] ===
Line 187 ⟶ 196:
** Bessie, on the other hand, despite also being a bulldozer herself, [[Furry Confusion|is for some reason, not anthropomorphized.]]
** The sequel featured a giant dump truck near the beginning that presumably acted like a bison.
* At the end of ''[[Tokyo SOS]]'', {{spoiler|[[Tear Jerker|Kiryu (AKA Mechagodzilla 3) says "Goodbye, Yoshido" to the pilot inside of him before committing a heroic sacrifice by sending both himself and Godzilla deep into the bottom of the ocean]]}}. Yes, folks, this film has {{spoiler|The original 1954 Godzilla talking (Well, technically, it's a message that appears on one of the monitors inside his cyborg-body) to a human being}}.
=== [[Western Animation]] ===
