anthropomorphic characters

Anthropomorphic characters are non-human beings, such as animals, objects, or mythical creatures, that are given human traits, emotions, and behaviors. This can include talking animals in children's books, like Mickey Mouse, or personified objects, like the talking cars in "Cars." These characters allow for creativity and help convey messages about human experiences, relationships, and ethics in a relatable way. By giving human qualities to non-human characters, storytellers can engage audiences and explore complex ideas through familiar and entertaining narratives.
