List of films about animals
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (February 2024) |
FThis 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.
