Why are live-action films like Babe in the list of funny animal media? "Funny animal" is a cartooning term, usually applying to humanized or semi-humanized animals like Bugs Bunny or Snoopy. Babe may be a talking animal, but he isn't a funny animal except perhaps in the most literal sense. I can understand Stuart Little being included since he is in fact animated next to a live action cast in the film, but most of the others are just realistic animals given voices or sci-fifantasy flicks not involving cartooning at all.
