* ''[[Usagi Yojimbo (Comic Book)|Usagi Yojimbo]]'' involves adorable anthropomorphic animals, the main character being a ''rabbit''. The setting, however, is feudal Japan with all of the cultural baggage thereof, including ''kirisute'', the traditional right of the samurai to kill any commoner who offends him. There is exploration of death, relationships (including forbidden relationships, illegitimate offspring, widowhood, etc.), various ''extremely'' nasty monsters from folklore, political intrigue, crime and punishment, and a very messed up judicial system.

* ''[[WE 3]]'', by [[Grant Morrison]], is about three talking animals trying to find their way home; the covers feature "missing pets" notices written in childlike style. Kids'll love it, right? Sure! Except for the scenes featuring the cybernetic animal soldiers literally ''tearing apart the soldiers meant to come kill them'', the part where {{spoiler|the rabbit ''explodes while hurling itself at a car''}}, and all sorts of graphic violence in between.

* The characters in the ''Sandbox'' comics by Swedish artist [[wikipedia:Joakim Pirinen|Joakim Pirinen]] are antropomorphic teddy bears, while their plots often deal with sex, drugs, violence, and disturbingly psychedelic visions.
* The infamous ''[[wikipedia:Air Pirates|Air Pirates Funnies]]'' was a short-lived underground parody comic which featured Disney characters in adult situations, such as having sex and taking drugs. Disney sued the makers of the comic for copyright infringement, which apparently was exactly what they wanted.

* ''[[Watership Down]]''. The introductory animation has animals being killed, and this continues throughout the movie. At one point Bigwig is trapped by a snare around his neck and is clearly suffering. The original warren the protagonists come from is a moderately harsh dictatorship, and Efrafa (General Woundwort's warren) is much worse.
