Pets From The Cinematic World That Audiences Love

By Jimmy Brulash


When the lead character in a movie has a pet; we feel instantly drawn to them as we perceive them as animal lovers, so they can't be all bad. We always connect to the animals as well, as their loving emotions and loyalty typically win our hearts.

"Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events" was a highly successful movie that brought together an array of animals that were integral to the plot. Fish, cats, snakes and dogs all played their part.

Both life action and cartoons have been built around a central character/s that is an animal. Here are some of my favorites, and there's no doubt in my mind that you'll be familiar with at least a few of these.

I would love to be able to talk to animals, but Dr Doolittle, as played by Eddie Murphy, didn't see this as such a great gift. There were 3 films in total before the series ran out of steam. Still, while Murphy was entertaining throughout the film, most people remember some of the many humorous animals that made the film so unique.

One of my favorite childhood movies was the fantastic Disney animation 101 Dalmatians. I cheered as Pongo and Perdita rescued not only their own pups form Cruella Deville, but many others along the way too.

Having an animal as a partner or companion is quite normal in the world of movies, even to the point of them also being a hero. One such example is Milo, the dog who accompanied Jim Carrey through all his adventures as The Mask.

Ruby slippers, yellow brick road and Toto; the three most remembered from the classic 'Wizard of Oz'. Remarkably filmed in both color and black and white, this tale of Dorothy and her dog Toto still enchants children worldwide, over 70 years after it was made.

Now that CGI technology have made cartoon animals seem almost real, they have gotten even more fun. The worlds' top movies stars all want to help bring these animated wonders to life.
