== [[Fan Works]] ==
* Fauna in [[DC Nation]] has this as one of her powers, and was a bit surprised when she found out Beast Boy didn't. Unlike her [[Shapeshifting]] and [[The Beast Master|Beastmaster]] abilities, she is completely comfortable using it.
* In the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fic ''[[White Knight, Grey Queen]]'' Harry gains the ability to understand, at least in broad strokes, what animals are attempting to communicate with him after Aragog gives him "The Mark of the Spiders"; the way he describes it, it isn't an actual translation effect so much as simply understanding what they ''mean''.
== [[Film]] ==
Line 200 ⟶ 201:
* Dexter of ''[[Dexter's Laboratory]]'' wanted to speak with a dog; constructed a translator device and learned that the dog was saying: 'Hey! Hey! I'm a dog! Look! Look, it's a thing! Over here! A dog!' -and so on.
* In the ''[[Jimmy Neutron]]'' episode "Raise the Oozy Scab" Jimmy has a device that allows him to speak to fish, which he hopes to use to ask for directions to a sunken treasure. It fails, as the fish just want to talk gossip. Later, when the sub is attacked by a giant squid, Jimmy modifies the device to be able to speak squid and convince it to let them go.
* Communication with animals was one of the abilities given to ''[[She-Ra:
* Eliza Thornberry, in ''[[The Wild Thornberrys]]''. (Her first name may be an elaborate [[Shout-Out]]: Eliza ''Doolittle'' was the female lead in ''[[My Fair Lady]]''. In the film, the male lead was played by Rex Harrison, who also starred in the 1967 version of ''Dr. Dolittle''.)
* In the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "The Bird-bot of Alcatraz", Bender suffers an accident that causes him to reboot, and automatically goes into "Penguin mode" due to penguins being the first thing he sees upon reactivating. Interestingly enough, after he later returns to his default "human" mode, he appears to retain the ability to speak Penguin, encouraging them (in their own language) to attack the people trying to hunt them. Whether or not he can perform all this with other animals is unknown, but it seems entirely possible.
Line 211 ⟶ 212:
*** Not really, since he doesn't "speak with Fish" at all. What he does do is telepathically communicate and command, NOT ASK, Marine life.
*** Wonder Woman, though infrequently.
* ''[[She
* In the ''[[Jonny Quest]]'' TOS episode "Werewolf of the Timberland", the Indian named White Feather could speak to wolves and owls (and presumably other forest creatures).
* Possibly a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Mary Poppins]]'', in ''[[Arthur (animation)|Arthur]]'', baby Kate can talk to dogs and cats. To them, people speak pure gibberish.
