Professional illustration, cartooning, and animation refer
to these types of animal characters as talking animals or funny
animals.
Funny animal is a cartooning term for the genre of comics and
animated cartoons in which the main characters are humanoid or
talking animals. The characters themselves may also be called
funny animals.
While most funny animal stories are light-hearted and humorous,
the genre is not exclusively comedic. Dark or serious stories
featuring anthropomorphic animals can also be grouped under the
"funny animals" category. These stories may intersect with any
other genre or group of genre, including historical stories,
science fiction, superheroes, westerns, slapstick comedy,
children's entertainment, and satire
Most of such characters act no different as compared to
humans.
