anthropomorphic animals

Anthropomorphic animals are fictional animals given human characteristics, such as the ability to speak, think, and act like people. This concept is commonly found in literature, cartoons, and films, where animals are portrayed with human traits to convey messages, entertain, or explore complex themes. Examples include characters like Mickey Mouse or Simba from "The Lion King." Anthropomorphism allows audiences to relate to these characters on a personal level, often highlighting moral lessons or societal issues through their stories and interactions.
