Anthropomorphic animals and human relations in animation

A political cartoon published in the Indianapolis Star a few months ago had Vick being tried in some sort of canine court with a jury made up of the likes of Goofy, Underdog, Grimm, Ren, Snoopy, etc.
 
I saw the first mr peabody and sheram cartoon on dvd and it turns out mr peabody adopted sherman because "every dog needs a boy" that'sc weird having a dog for a dad. Then theres the chipmunks who were always more like human kids then talking rodents
 
Until now, in the movie they are no longer human size. Though I suppose they were chipmunk size originally in the late 50's. But still most of us know them as being human size.
 
Yeah, that's always bothered me, too. What's worse is that everyone in the show counts him as a person. (for example, if they need to buy tickets to something, they'll always buy three, even though none of the other Pokemon need a ticket)
 
I stopped watching that series after a few dozen episodes, but early episodes of the series had everyone fawn over Meowth?s ability to talk. Everywhere he went, he had crowds, and Professor Oak was completely stunned that a pok?mon could talk. Granted, it's been years since I've seen those old episodes.
 
The Chipmunks and the Chipettes are the only anthropomorphic animals in their world.

Several human boys have asked Brittany out and nobody found this weird. The Arabian Prince in The Chipmunk Adventure even wanted to get married to her.
