Who doesn't appreciate an adorable animal? Better yet, who doesn't appreciate an adorable animal that can talk? The truth is that some of film and television's most lovable, colorful characters have been of the furry, feathered, finned, or four-legged variety. We've rounded up 27 of our top talking animals in film Enjoy! 1. Roger Rabbit in Who Framed Roger Rabbit denofgeek.com The Real Animal: One last rabbit, though we’ve never seen a rabbit dressed up like this in the wild. The Movie Animal: An animated goofball with one heck of a sexy lady for a wife. Best Quote: “Check the probate. Why, my Uncle Thumper had a problem with his probate, and he had to take these big pills, and drink lots of water.” 2. Dory in Finding Nemo huffingtonpost.com The Real Animal: A Pacific Regal Blue Tang, which is a very long name for a not-very-big fish.

Best Quote: “Hey, look. ‘Esc-a-pay.’ I wonder what that means. That's funny, it's spelled just like the word ‘escape’.” 3. Babe bustle.com The Real Animal: A pig. Yes, a smelly, noisy, hairy pig.

Kermit the Frog in The Muppets women.com The Real Animal: Somewhat smaller, slimier and less attractive than their fuzzy Henson-created counterpart. The Movie Animal: The Frog to end all frogs. Sure he’s little more than a sock puppet, but Kermit is the calm amid the chaos that is The Muppets. He’s also deserving of our sympathy – nobody wants Miss Piggy swooning over them 24/7, right? Best Quote: “Do what I do: imagine the audience naked.” 7. Dug in Up giphy.com The Real Animal: A Golden Retriever, a breed of dog that the internet tells us was originally bred to hunt down ducks and upland game birds.

'Cause let me tell you something, little britches: if you act like that bee at... Uh-uh. You're working too hard.” 10. Pug in Men In Black fanpop.com The Real Animal: The kind of dog that looks like it’s run into a few too many walls… and then shrunk in the wash. The Movie Animal: The sequel over-used him, but Pug was one of the first Men In Black’s best surprises – an alien that’s taken over a dog that looks like an alien anyway . Love it. Best Quote: “You don't like it you can kiss my furry little butt!” 11. Ape in George Of The Jungle dewanontons.com The Real Animal: A gorilla, which has around 95% of the same DNA as humans. Which explains why they’re alternately so tetchy/horny/hungry the whole time. The Movie Animal: Droll, sarcastic, and not averse to wearing a pinny, Ape is the ultimate sidekick.

Mickey’s starred in over 180 long and short films, making him the most prolific Disney character ever. Best Quote: “She likes my body and my mind. In the same place, that is.” (in short Runaway Brain) 15. Blood in A Boy And His Dog horrornews.net The Real Animal: Y’know, man’s best friend, enjoys going for walks, chasing squirrels and howling at the moon.

Sid in Ice Age pinterest.com The Real Animal: A sloth, the laziest of all creatures and, weirdly, genetically related to armadillos and anteaters. The Movie Animal: An endearingly clumsy Chatterbox, Sid would annoy the hell out of you if you had to put up with him in real life.
