And I know what you’re thinking: Oh, well that’s the point of anthro animals, they’re supposed to move and act like humans. 

Which I understand! But, there should still be some creative liberties you when making characters (who could have easily been humans) as animals. 

For example:

Aside from a few nods to their “ original animal behavior”, everyone really does just behave like human people, and as previously stated, I feel a better connection could have been made with these characters if you made them humans; them being animals feels almost gimmicky in this movie. 

But with Kung Fu Panda on the other hand:

It almost ALWAYS takes into account that these characters are animals, which adds so much charm to them and really opens up a lot of creative opportunities for world building and character interactions. 

Like, this is a super obvious/minor addition in the animation, but I always loved how they have Monkey walk on his knuckles

It would have been super easy to just have him walk on both feet, with practically little to no complaints I think.
