Nick you misunderstood. And lol did you forget the Exceeds XD

I meant that in cartoons they make entire civilizations made entirely of mixed Anthropomorphic animals(i.e. A Rhino President or a Crocodile gang boss) Or depict them in non-animal manners. Take The Lion King(yes I know you love it T) there is no way that a lion in real life would betray his brother, let alone consort with hyenas. I'm not too bothered with the supernatural elements in the movie nor the apparent stupidity of the hyenas. My concern is the brother betraying brother thing. In Lion families, that doesn't happen.

Just a simple example. You could also take Wind In The Willows into consideration.

Anime use many stereotypes but they are no where as near as irritating as the stuff I see in cartoons. But you can always make the excuse "Oh, its just a cartoon, only idiots take it seriously" but with anime you can't, because they are serious.
