* The agents in the Disney movie ''[[G-Force (Film)|G-Force]]'' talk, though they use a device to translate animal speech. {{spoiler|Though they are at first led to believe that they are genetically engineered to have higher intelligence and special skills, they discover that they are actually ordinary animals with special training. This implies that all animals can speak with a translator}}.
Line 154:

Also Papaya Parrot and Raven, although they're one-shot characters (but Raven appears again in the European-release-only second ''Strawberry Shortcake'' GBA game).
* ''[[Kim Possible]]'': While Rufus mostly speaks in gibberish, he is capable of basic elocution for some of his favorite words, including Cheese.
