List of films about animals

Last updated

This is a list of notable films that are primarily about animals . While films involving dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals are included on this list, those concerning legendary creatures, such as dragons or vampires, are not; however, films concerning anthropomorphised animals (such as Scooby-Doo), gigantized animals (such as King Kong), magical animals (such as Prancer), mutated forms of real animals (such as Anaconda ), or fictional hybrids of real animals (such as Sharktopus ) are considered to be films about animals, and are thus featured on this list.
