I made this for two reasons.
#1: My internet was not behaving so I couldn't do much else.
#2: I feel like I owe an explanation.
It's come up often, especially during the debates over F.A.'s "rule change" Furmageddumb, that I have a particular fixation on pet humans. I call it a fixation rather than a fetish because my definition of a pet is just any different species that is loved and looked after in any way. And because it's hardly a turn-on; I just love the idea that the desire for the companionship of a different species is not an anomaly -- not a freak of evolution -- unique unto humans, and the idea that any other species with a big enough brain might think of a human child the same way we would a puppy or a kitten.
So for the record, both in the past and in the future, when I think of a "pet human", these are the things which are comparable to what I'm referring to that I love the most.
Just some ground rules:
#1: The pet does not have to be a literal pet, or even referred to as a pet. Just a member of a different species that is being looked after by another.
#2: If the nonhuman is just an analogy for racism and is otherwise completely indistinguishable from humans in their culture or behavior, it doesn't count.
So, without further ado...
#10: The Jungle Book
Yeah, you all knew this would be on the list. Disney's The Jungle Book was one of the very first movies I ever saw as a child (the other -- and I'm sure this is just a coincidence -- was Disney's Robin Hood). But it's not just because this is such an obvious inclusion and I want to get it out of the way that it's #10.
What generally spoils it for me is how little is shown of it. In Disney's version, we see Akela and Raksha pick up the basket, Mowgli gets tackled and slobbered on by two of his siblings, and then he has to go. And in almost every version, he does go. Even in the 2016 version that I chose to represent the intellectual property as a whole, Mowgli remains distant from his adopted family and instead gets counted among their non-wolf allies up in the tree.
The other reason I picked it is because of the scene I chose to represent it. The one where Akela tells him "You're mine. Mine to me."
There are other reasons my opinion of TJB is low despite it having been the first to plant the idea in my head, but... More on that later.
#9: Dot & The Kangaroo
There are three kinds of people on F.A. Those who knew this would be on the list, those who don't know me, and those who have never heard of Dot & The Kangaroo.
What ruins it, and prevents it from being any higher on the list, is the ending. Or, rather, the sense that there isn't one. One character gets no closure and the other is sad and miserable because of it. And that's when the credits roll.
That, and the animation... It hasn't aged well.
#8: Melody Time: Pecos Bill
As a movie, I do not recommend it. It's horribly dated with its simplicity, its racist caricatures and its references to smoking, and much like The Jungle Book, the fact that Bill was raised by coyotes is treated as barely relevant -- just a little tidbit to make his tall tales even taller.
But in its conclusion, Bill returns to his coyote family. And it lands a spot higher than the previous two for this.
#7: Krypto The Superdog: My Pet Boy
I'm realizing as I type this that this is the only inclusion -- including all of my honorable mentions -- where the pet human is actually referred to as a pet. It's also the only one where he is very much discontent with that role, hence why it's only #7. KTS is a series that openly revels in Golden Age / Saturday morning cartoon cheese, and this episode is no exception. Long story short is that Krypto has to rescue Kevin after he gets trapped on an alien spacecraft, found by the giant dog family that owns it, and is claimed as Junior's pet.
This should be all the kind of "pet human" stuff that I don't like, but it won me back with its resolution. In the end, Krypto convinces the family to give Kevin up by stating that he is his pet. Complete with telling him to sit, roll over, etc., followed by praise and head-pats.
It's played as a ruse, but it's hard not to think about every time Kevin has to get rescued in other episodes. Krypto may be Kevin's dog, by Kevin is Superdog's human.
#6: Peabody's Improbable History / Mr. Peabody & Sherman
I sort of had to include both. For two reasons. First, I grew up with the original series, but I think the movie handled the relationship a million times better. And second, the original series more openly refers to Sherman as being akin to a pet, but the movie more readily acknowledges Peabody as a dog.
But even though the movie never actually calls Sherman a pet (except by other characters as an insult), the parallels are pretty clear.
I mean... Really? He found a baby in a box in an alley? That's...
Actually, after ten years of life in Las Vegas, I have to say that sounds realistic. And I've seen a lot of kids in Vegas who would have been much better off if their parents had left them in an alley for a dog to find.
#5: Pokemon: The Kangaskhan Kid
Yup! Of course Pokemon is on the list! I could probably make a separate list of top "Poke-Parents" -- Pokemon who were just as much parents to a human child as their actual human parents were (and maybe I will once my internet stops taking ten minutes to load a single page).
That's one of the things that separates Pokemon: TKK from so many others. Pokemon raising humans is not just treated as legitimate. It's treated as normal. Officer Jenny even reveals that Tomo has a registered address in the Safari Zone's directory.
In fact, if there's any real problem I have, it's that it maybe normalizes the concept so much as to trivialize it. In the end, his real parents are basically like "Yeah, whatever" and give up everything to live as he does too.
#4: All Dogs Go To Heaven
Hey, look, it's that other movie I'm sure a lot of you guessed was one of the first I'd ever seen growing up. As a little kid, I was probably too stupid to understand that Charlie was just using Anne-Marie. And if I'm honest, watching it decades later as an adult, I still have a hard time believing it -- still can't interpret the scene where he sees her for the first time as anything worse than a golden opportunity to get rich, get even with Carface, and make the best of his second chance at life all in one move. To the point that, even during the "liar revealed" moment where he tells Itchy that he plans to use her and then get rid of her, I thought as a kid, and continue to wonder to this day, if he was actually lying to Itchy at the time.
The fact that he spends most of the movie acting like a caring parent, genuinely is protective of her, and ultimately prioritizes her safety over his own -- all that definitely contributed to the interpretation. And, well, having a gangster bulldog constantly trying to kill you so he can kidnap her again -- that's a solid argument against leaving her with "the wallet family".
#3: Please Save My Earth: Episode #6
Fun fact: The PSME anime was only made at all because the director absolutely loved the character of Kyaa and only wanted to make the one episode in which he would appear. And it's easy to see why: He's freakin' adorable.
Most of the episode takes place in a flashback of a previous life where Shion, a young orphan who has supernatural powers that have already resulted in deaths, is entrusted into the care of Lazlo, a veeda -- kind of a combination of a foster parent and securer of a dangerous weapon.
But as soon as they enter his house, there's a very strong (at least IMO) vibe that Lazlo is just there to be official, and that all of the actual work is going to be done by Kyaa, a giant cat from another planet named because the first thing everyone says when they see him is "KYAA!!!"
It starts with Lazlo stating that Kyaa is capable of feeding on Shion's powers. In the next scene, Shion complains that Kyaa slept in his bed and is advised to just sleep on top of Kyaa instead. Which, as you can see, he proceeds to do. And when he beats up a bully at school who teased him for being an orphan, Shion hides from Lazlo behind Kyaa.
Even after, when our Earth-living characters aren't having flashbacks as much as revelations, Kyaa appears in those visions more than Lazlo. Though Lazlo was the official adoptive father, Kyaa was undoubtedly the true parent.
It's not any higher because... Well, like I said, it all takes place in the flashback of a past life. And when everyone would have died of old age no matter what by the time of current events, that's when developers really get sadistic with their tragic backstories.
#2: Wolf Daddy
This may only be an animated short, but I absolutely freakin' adore the Hell out of it!
It starts with the introduction of our protagonist, a wolf who recently won a new writer's contest for having "fluent expression ... for a wolf" and now wants to write a great novel to challenge the misconception that wolves can't write when a woman drops off a little girl at his front door, tells the girl the wolf is her father, smacks the wolf around, and leaves (actually, no, this isn't Japanese).
And... They both just kind of roll with it. He takes her in, has a panic over the fact that the only food in the house is a live deer he's got locked in the fridge (who later becomes the mommy in the family), and... Well, in between there's some pointless filler, but it ends with him stressing over the fact that he hasn't written a single word since she arrived but deciding that looking after her is far more important.
Oh, and about that incredibly vorish screenshot? To support his daughter, he gets a job as a school bus.
No, not a school bus driver. As a school bus. He meets the kids at their bus stops, swallows them whole (including his daughter), and when he gets to the school, belly-flops on the ground and opens his mouth so they can all come out of him.
This was made back in 2005, long before the Pokedex of Pokemon: Sun told me that a pelipper's "-spacious beak is large enough for a small child to fit right inside". So even the idea of combining vore and parenting isn't an original product of my sick mind.
Kay, before the super-obvious #1, let's do some honorable mentions.
Undertale
Goat Mom may be best mom, but she's also a killable boss fight. Plus, she's only goat-like in appearance, so it feels like a stretch to include it.
Ice Age
Not sure how I forgot about this one. Probably because all of the sequels had absolutely nothing to do with it. Or maybe because the whole plot of the movie is their intention to bring him back to the other humans and they never once even mention what happens if they don't make it to the pass in time.
Princess Mononoke
I wanted to love this movie, but what really ruins it is just how terrible of a mother Moro actually is. She makes no effort whatsoever to save her own life and is adamant that her adopted daughter is going to die with her.
Willa's Wild Life
I adored this series, none the least bit because, while the animals are all officially Willa's pets, the majority of them are all very protective and parental to her, with at least two (Jenny and Koko) being motherly too her. I honestly don't know how this one slipped my mind while I was making the graphic. If I ever redo it, this is highly likely to end up further up the list in the future.
Panda! Go Panda!
This is another one that trivializes the idea to a hilarious degree. The girl is left alone to mind the house while her grandmother -- her only guardian -- is away, she finds a baby panda who escaped from the zoo on the property, and when the panda's father (also a zoo escapee) relocates them, he's just like "You don't have a dad? Meh, screw it, I'll be your dad". And the resolution is that he becomes a professional zoo animal -- when the zoo closes, he punches out, rides the train and goes back to his family in the house for humans. I don't even need to tell you who made it -- the art style invites so many obvious comparisons between they and a much more well-known Japanese animated movie.
The Life & Adventures of Santa Claus
This trope has even been applied to freakin' Santa Claus. In it, Santa Claus was found abandoned as a baby by Ak, a forest deity, and given to Shiegra, a lioness, to look after. There are two versions, one in stop-motion and the other in hand drawn, but in both, we only get a couple of minutes of this before a wood nymph decides to intervene and become his official mother, after which it fast-forwards twenty years and suddenly Shiegra is now being treated like Santa's pet. And it probably goes without saying that an adopted child not even seeming to know (or care) who his first mother was really spoils it for me.
My Little Goat
This is a retelling (or maybe a sequel) of the fairy tale The Wolf & the Seven Little Goats. One that is very dark and disturbing, but still quite heartwarming. Though the goats behave not much differently from the humans, so it felt like putting it in the Top 10 would be cheating.
Dino Mom / Dino Time / Back to the Jurassic
When a movie has three different titles, it's usually because it sucks royally. But even if I could get passed that, it's still sullied by the fact that Tyra, the titular dino mom, actually believes the children are her own as opposed to having made a conscious decision to adopt three children of a different species. That, and Rob Schneider is one of the voice actors. But it does have some cute moments between Tyra and the kids, so I'll give it an hon-nom.
The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack
On paper, this sounds like it should be right up my alley. The title character was adopted by a whale and lives inside her mouth. The thing is... I forgot about it. So I guess it just wasn't that good, or at least not enough to really resonate and stick.
Baldur's Gate 3
I love Tara, and I love that she openly refers to Gale as her pet. And when I have both the time and the energy to bring myself to do an edit and/or expansion of this, she absolutely WILL be included. She's only been excluded thus far because Baldur's Gate 3 came out after I made this, so for now she'll have to settle for an hon-nom.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
Damn, how did I forget this one? Goldilocks and her family will definitely also be included if/when I update or expand it.
Scooby-Doo
This is more of a long-running, often supported head-canon thing. Around the turn of the century, Scooby's relationships with the other three members of Mystery Inc. was allowed to be defined, during which one of the first things established was a clear favoritism for Velma. Flashback to A Pup Named Scooby-Doo when Velma was much smaller than the rest of the group and it's pretty hard for me not to interpret him as thinking of Velma then as the group's real pet, and all subsequent versions as his little girl all grown up and strong. But he's never once been so protective, much less assertive, as to feel like the one in charge, so this is still just a head-canon thing only given an hon-nom because it's hard not to think about it.
And now, without further ado...
#1: Storks
Oh my God... This movie... The whole plot basically revolves around a notion that babies are 100% irresistible to all species. Multiple storks, a pack of wolves, a group of penguins -- they all want the baby for themselves. All this after the storks had to adopt a different baby, Tulip, by default after the one that was supposed to deliver her imprinted on her and accidentally destroyed the GPS for her.
I... If somebody told me that my future self went back in time and made a movie, the first place I'd look for myself is in this movie's credits.
If only it had been released in a year other than 2016. That was a shitty year for everyone and everything except animation. It was the year of Zootopia, Moana, Kung-Fu Panda 3, Kubo & The Two Strings, etc. And I freely acknowledge that it's a very flawed movie that doesn't compare to the aforementioned.
Chief among these flaws, IMO, is the Gardner family. They just feel like they were tacked on at the eleventh hour, and I suspect it's because an earlier draft of the script had an ending where Junior and Tulip did keep the baby. But somebody chickened out at the possibility of incurring the wrath of what would eventually become "the anti-woke" and shoved them in so they could avoid the whole inter-species parents thing.
But while they do end up having to give up the baby, Tulip, despite finally getting delivered to her real family, is shown in the credits to have remained with the storks. So it's not completely spoiled, and the movie that is freakin' stuffed to the brim with the kind of "pet human" stuff I love most still gets the #1 slot.
Am I weird? Yes, absolutely, and I'm loving every minute of it. ^_^
#1: My internet was not behaving so I couldn't do much else.

It was the year of Zootopia, Moana, Kung-Fu Panda 3, Kubo & The Two Strings, etc. And I freely acknowledge that it's a very flawed movie that doesn't compare to the aforementioned.
Chief among these flaws, IMO, is the Gardner family. They just feel like they were tacked on at the eleventh hour, and I suspect it's because an earlier draft of the script had an ending where Junior and Tulip did keep the baby. But somebody chickened out at the possibility of incurring the wrath of what would eventually become "the anti-woke" and shoved them in so they could avoid the whole inter-species parents thing.
But while they do end up having to give up the baby, Tulip, despite finally getting delivered to her real family, is shown in the credits to have remained with the storks. So it's not completely spoiled, and the movie that is freakin' stuffed to the brim with the kind of "pet human" stuff I love most still gets the #1 slot.
Am I weird? Yes, absolutely, and I'm loving every minute of it. ^_^

To get her back, Carface tried to kill Charlie in the middle of Bourbon Street in broad daylight. Who's to say someone willing to do something that brazen wouldn't also be willing to murder a couple of humans? They may have been able to give her all the care and comfort she needed, but only for as long as they were alive.
The best course of action would have been to deal with Carface first and commit that family's address to memory so she can eventually be left with them, and for Ann Marie to stay in the custody of Charlie, who A) is very familiar with Carface, his resources and methods, and how best to possibly neutralize them, and B) was on Carface's hit list to begin with.
It's like when your house needs to be gassed for termites so you move into a cheap motel. You're Ann Marie, Charlie's the motel, the family is the house, and Carface is the termites.
