Cartoonists and animators have given animals human characteristics
for so long that audiences are now accustomed to seeing Bugs Bunny
singing opera and Mickey Mouse walking his dog Pluto. The Animated
Bestiary critically evaluates the depiction of animals in cartoons
and animation more generally. Paul Wells argues that artists use
animals to engage with issues that would be more difficult to
address directly because of political, religious, or social taboos.
Consequently, and principally through anthropomorphism, animation
uses animals to play out a performance of gender, sex and
sexuality, racial and national traits, and shifting identity, often
challenging how we think about ourselves. Wells draws on a wide
range of examples, from the original King Kong to Nick Park's
Chicken Run to Disney cartoons such as Tarzan, The Jungle Book, and
Brother Bear to reflect on people by looking at the ways in which
they respond to animals in cartoons and films.
