Wut about "Arthur" or "....ok....I can't remember his name.....he was a turtoise..umm...oh wait I'd better end the quotation marks" there....umm...oh while I think about it does anyone remember sootie? And what about lamb chops? Hahahhaha they weren't really animals but puppets..stull good...

OMG now thats got me thinking, has anyone seen Milo and Odus (?or Otus?) It was footage of a real life cat and dog as they went on an adventure, no graphical editing etc just the narrators voice...was cool.

Meh I can't think of that darn green turtle.....chester or something...meh.

Milo and Otis was a great film! That female pug with the French accent was a classic!

Stonnor Eagles > Duncton Wood

But anyway

As has been said they feature promenant;y because it allows us as humans to be show points,views and morals without subtle pokings

Most notably

Seekers at the Wulfrock(sp?) And it's sequel by the same dude that wrote Stonnor Eagles and Duncton Wood
The Animal Poems - Ted Hughes, for shame this great poet has never been mentioned!

I got messed up: I read "Farting Woods" in the post, and only at the second glance I realizes I missed the "h"!
I kinda liked the dog in MIB 2 - don't remember his/its name though.

An idea came to my head and is now desperately searching for brain

@ zlo the dog is called frank

The only book I ever consumed fully was: Bram Stoker's Dracula.
And you know what.. Between the introduction of Van Hellsing and The Biting of Lucy I think I have spotted two Persons in a lead starring role as Animal. Both were Dracula and both were different animal, namely a Bat and a Lycan.

Sorry but thats it, I am not really a book reader, unless its either scientifical or has Pictures all over the book

Champion the Wonder Horse
Incredible Journey (fookin loved that )

and

that thing about the rowing boat, about animals who set off for Stonehenge in a post-apocalyptic Britain/world.

The animal characters in Narnia (esp Aslan, he's just ace )

Ica Age (it was hilarious. I dread takin the little un to the flicks, Pokemon 1 was ok, Digimon was fonk, but this was good for a kids film)

Dinosaur, as above but even better. i felt a choke of emotion coming on when the dinosaurs and lemurs broke through the rubble and got to the Hidden Valley.

why? I like whimsy, but on a deeper level i think it's because human characters come with a range of presumptions on our part as the reader/viewer, and the suspension of disbelief required for an animal character cannot quite be achieved for a human. Notice how in fiction the animal characters are often more fleshed out, wheras any human characters tend to be fairly one-dimensional - with exceptions) Also, you're looking for other visual and verbal signals with a human character, nuances of expression, which while very well done now with cgi, are still far less subtle than with humans. So it's easier to accept what you see and here.

I would have to concur. Using animals as opposed to humans allows for a more successful suspension of disbelief, which allows for a more in-depth exploration of the subject matter.

but van anyone remember the title of that thing about the rowing boat, about animals who set off for Stonehenge in a post-apocalyptic Britain/world?

It sounds so familiar... damn, I can't remember. When you remember Carney, let me know.
