I’d have to go with SLH too. I’m allergic to cats, so Snowball II is a no-go.
I’d be hard pressed to think of other non-anthropomorphic cartoon animals. Bandit from Jonny Quest?
Oooh, good answer! Eastern Europe’s favorite cat-and-mouse team! Not only are they not human-like, they’re also not very animal-like either.
Daisy, the dog from the* Blondie* comic strip, is a marginal case. For the most part she acts like a normal dog, but she often shows the same facial expressions as the human characters. When Dagwood looks surprised, Daisy also looks surprised.
Are you talking about the comic strip or the cartoon? In the cartoon, Odie can say “Tada!”, “Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!”, “Huh?” and “Uh-uh”.
Also, which Scooby Doo series are you referencing?
Snowy’s an interesting one. Certainly, the early strips fit, but once he’s being depicted with thought bubbles where he displays a fully-human level of understanding about the events around him, I’d argue that he’s being anthropmorphized, even if the human characters around him don’t regard him as anything other than a normal dog. On the other hand, I can see the case that he’s not “really” thinking in human terms, but that his doggy thoughts are being translated for our convenience.
I also kind of want to include Avatar: The Last Airbender here, which had several “animal” characters that weren’t anthropomorphized… but they were fantasy animals. The episode from the perspective of Momo the flying lemur did a really good job of using an animal as the viewpoint protagonist without making him too human, even if “flying lemurs” aren’t a real animal.
The comic, which is the only thing that’s canon. 
All of them. He doesn’t speak clearly, and he doesn’t speak much, but both in what he does say, and how he responds to the other characters, his vocabulary is of a kind with the rest of the gang.
Maximus the horse from Tangled. Yes, super smart, but still totally non-anthropomorphic.
I think Frisket from Reboot is probably too smart. Been a very long time since I watched that show. Also depends on your definition of animated.
Was Bandit in Jonny Quest completely animal-like - I simply can’t remember. I watched the Real Adventures, myself, but I know I’ve seen a few eps of the original.
Cringer/Battlecat from the 2002 He-Man?
Agree.
Ooh, very good one. Especially Appa.
It’s all in the eyes.
Humans are the only animals that show the white of their eyes all the time. :eek:
When we want to make humans look alien for movies and tv, we make their eyes all black. If the cartoon/comic has an animal that shows the white all the time it’s anthropomorphic. This includes Roadrunner, BTW.
I don’t know, one of the white horses at Denver Equestrians is always showing his blue eyes.
Also, have you seen how Perry acts in Phineas and Ferb when he’s undercover? I can’t say all animals that show the white of their eyes are anthropomorphic. That cover is not only non-anthropomorphic, it is far dumber than a dog or a cat.
He was in charge of the guards at the end, literally their superior officer.

Doxie’s can be seen about 4 rows down.
Both were sick at the time of the picture. What does that tell ya?
Got to go. Doxie is telling me he wants in. There’s a bark for that.
Yes, but he couldn’t talk, had no characteristics other than smarts that horses dont have. Sure, he’s a little magical, but that universe has magic. I still say he is in no way anthropomorphic.
I wonder, would lipstick qualify as anthropomorphic? That would be surprising because I never considered Dragon from Shrek anthropomorphic. I don’t think any of the characters considered her anthropomorphic- they all treated her like a normal, albeit fantastic animal.
I think he has far too much understanding of complex human speech to qualify - that understanding is a human (anthropomorphic) trait. Not to mention the nudging/teasing over attraction, moral qualms over theft, etc. He also a dog in a horse suit in a fair number of scenes, but I’ll grant that’s not anthropomorphic.
Figaro in Pinocchio.
His hoof gestures reminded me of Donkey from Shrek.
For those of you who are not well-versed in horse behavior, here is some info about their language:
Pawing at the ground means “Come here”
Nodding means “Yes”
Throwing head means “That’s enough”
Maximus and Donkey, on the other hand, had very human body language.
Cartoon Equus body language:
Shaking someone’s hand with hoof means “Truce" or “Friends”
Moving hoof forward means “There it/he/she is”
Moving hoof sideways means “It/he/she is over there”
Huh… come to think of it, all the bipedal animal characters have human-like gestures too. But the characters in Tangled obviously considered Maximus anthropomorphic. Rapunzel even said “Who’s that?”
Pumbaa and Timon from the Lion King.
I’m a little conflicted about the animals of the Madagascar franchise. They act in human ways, but around human beings, they’re clearly no more than animals. I really like them, though - I love the "New Yorker"ness of the main four characters and the chimps, and the penguins are on their own level of funny.
