The great thing about the Muppet movies is that all the characters are treated as if they're human. It's like nobody realizes they're talking to a felt frog.

It's even better than that - they sometimes acknowledge they're talking to a frog, or a rat, or even a puppet. It's just normal.

There’s an exchange in The Great Muppet Caper that goes like:

Human: “You're a frog, and you’re a dog, and you’re a… um….”

Gonzo: “A whatever.”

I love Porco Rosso. It's animated and set in the real world with real just pre-WW2 stuff happening in the background. But the main character is a pig who flies a sea plane. Someone mentions a curse once. No one treats this as weird. No one else is an animal. I love it.
