Not hated at all. Again, instead of just saying "EVERYONE HATES THIS MOVIE", perhaps provide evidence for that, it'll save me time from happening to look it up for you
HTTYD 2 and Monsters university were two examples that are recent that I put on there to. Her counts because it is a non-human and the whole movies was about the ability to love something that is non-human.
Lets see in terms of video games, WELL
- We have the Rachet and Clank series, very highly rated, doesn't involve humans at all
- Sonic the hedgehog, very popular series. Recent games are hated, but not because of the fact sonic is a hedgehog, just cause the games are poorly made.
- A whole bunch of nintendo games that are still super popular today, like star fox for example
- Conkur's Bad fur day is still super popular, even getting a rebootish game that's coming out soon on Spark
- Earth worm jim is an old game but still popular
- A wolf Among us is a recent game by Telltales, while strictly NOT animals you do play the fairytale personification of a wolf (you turn into a wolf in various scenes), very popular game.
- Sly cooper is still a popular and highly rated franchise, I believe a new game came out recently
- Spyro, old game but still has a cult following
There are a lot more where you play with friendly non-human characters as well, including Zelda, Mass Effect, and stuff like that. So here's just a short list, there are many more but I can't think of them right now.
