Things get unquestionably weird when non-humanlike specimens of the same species of animals the main characters are based upon are shown existing in the setting alongside them.

The audience tends to accept this without question - until animals that don't look or sound humanlike appear in the same continuity. In many cartoon or comic settings one will often find that the characters are anthropomorphic animals.
