* ''Webcomic/TheFourth'' has ghosts possessing [[http://thefourthcomic.com/?p=43com/?p=438 swords and plant pots]].
* The [[SuperPrototype first generation]] of the robots in ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' seem to be this; Kat's analysis of them has difficulty determining what their power source is, or even how their moving parts (of which they seem to have comparatively few) connect. Later generations of them work on more conventional robotics principles.
* ''Webcomic/HighSchoolLessons'' has Locker #217, which is sentient and roams the school.
* ''Webcomic/MyMilkToof'' is about two walking, talking milk teeth.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', while not featuring them as major characters, did bring us [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0301.html a brief intermission]] starring anthropomorphic movie snacks.
* ''ComicStrip/ThePerryBibleFellowship'' loves this trope, often taking it to dark and scary places.
* The Instrumen from ''Webcomic/TheSanityCircus'' were originally musical instruments who were brought to life and given alternate human forms by their creator. They can still turn back to their instrument forms if wished, and can still move and speak as normal. Steven the flute even emotes to an impressive extent without any real facial features.
* ''Webcomic/SexyLosers'' takes this in a disturbing direction. Blowup dolls have minds and can remember everything that's been done to them. A fairy occasionally shows up to animate them as full humans, whereupon they usually a): [[DrivenToSuicide kill themselves]], b): kill their former owners and / or or c): become prostitutes and remain as objectified as before, since they lack the education and skills to make decent lives for themselves. This being ''Sexy Losers'', all three of those fates are PlayedForLaughs.
* In ''Webcomic/TheStrongestSuit'', the Playing Cards themselves, who are human-sized and anthropomorphic. This is not truly the case in-universe however, as they are a legitimate sapient species rather than normal cards brought to life.
* Many of the habitants of the forest in ''Webcomic/TwistwoodTales'' are this, varying from having human-like bodies with object heads (Loghead, Bucket Boy, Elunar) to having their entire bodies be objects with human extremities (Steven the Stoven, Elpi, Tater Sam).

* LetsPlay/TheStrawhatNO: A cupcake in ''Pikmin 2'' Day 10 seems to move on its own; there is no Dweevil underneath it, and the nearby Blowhog is too far way to be pushing it. Yoshi suggests that it's being [[DemonicPossession possessed by the almond on top of it]].
* Winsler of ''Podcast/TrialsAndTrebuchets'' is quite fond of magically creating these using the spells Tiny Servant and Animate Objects.
* Sentient objects on ''Series/TheWeather'' include a water-bottle, a pair of miniature statues, and a piano. All of which can talk English and interact with others.

One of the tasks is to visit her sister (who lives in Hell in Scandinavian variants), and get from there something (usually, a box or casket, but it may also be a comb or tamis). Advised by her husband, she treats the sorceress's sister's guardians/servants with kindness: compliments a crooked tree, drinks from a dirty stream, oils the hinges of a door or gate, etc. When the heroine escapes from the sorceress's sister's house, the servants are ordered by their mistress to stop her, but they say that, due to heroine's kindness, they will let her go.

When Jackie is cursed to become a wooden puppet, the Rat saves the day by allowing puppet Jackie animation so he can still fight back and reverse the curse.

* The main cast of ''WesternAnimation/OscarsOrchestra'' is composed of sentient musical instruments, with the exception of [[TokenHuman Rebecca]].
* The Heart of Jong from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'', which can bring otherwise inanimate objects to life.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' (which dealt with Kim having to deal with learning how to drive), many of the appliances and a car in the episode possessed the ability to talk and move on their own. Justified in this case, as it is heavily implied that they possessed advanced AI created by the scientist that Dr. Drakken kidnapped.
* The tools in ''WesternAnimation/HandyManny''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/HellboyAnimated: Sword of Storms'', Kate Corrigan and another BPRD agent encounter ''tsukumogami'', including [[{{Karakasa}} an umbrella]], a teapot, and a sandal. Amusingly, Kate doesn't even bat an eye at them, until they start attacking.
* An early ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short, ''Naughty But Mice'', had an electric shaver.
* ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' loves this trope [[ExaggeratedTrope so much]]. Sentient backpacks, maps, rollercoasters, cars, trees, leaves, [[LongList suns, clouds, stars, trains]]...the list goes on and on and on.
* ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' sporadically contains examples. Some, like the evil magic hat that is capable of hexing people in "Talent to the Max" and the self-playing instruments in "Dr. Horatio's Magic Orchestra", are important to the plot. Others, like the truck with a face in "Where There's Smoke, There's Goof" and the bullets with faces in "Gunfight at the Okie-Doke Corral" are only there for joke purposes. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight And none of it is ever explained despite being notably uncommon.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/MiddlemostPost'': : Needless to say, real-life clouds are nowhere near as peppy as Parker J. Cloud.

They cooperate with the ponies at first, but eventually get fed up with them and decide that they can run the household just fine on their own.
** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
*** Discord often uses
his snow-family magic to animate regular objects. In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E11KeepCalmAndFlutterOn Keep Calm and friends.Flutter On]]", he makes the candles dance and has various bits of tableware wreak havoc on the ponies. In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E12DiscordantHarmony Discordant Harmony]]", he animates a teapot (which also gains wings), some napkin origamis, a chaise lounge (which becomes a "chase lounge" that acts like a dog) and some ginseng tea bags (which start singing).
*** "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E13DoPrincessesDreamOfMagicSheep Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?]]": The Tantabus mainly creates its monsters by animating random objects in people's dreams, such as dresses, books, cakes, houses and the like, giving them fangs, eyes, and other body parts and setting them against their dreamers.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleShow'', during Elvis Elephant's episode, four glasses can be seen with faces on them. They clean themselves up and line up on the counter behind the counter. They even tear up during the part of the song about hunters killing elephants for their ivory tusks.
* ''WesternAnimation/FluffyGardens'': Green Ball, as its name suggests, is a living tiny green rubber ball with eyes and a mouth. It can't talk, but it can communicate through squeaky sounds and he's shown to be empathic.

* ''Webcomic/TheFourth'' has ghosts possessing [[http://thefourthcomic.com/?p=438 swords and plant pots]].
* The [[SuperPrototype first generation]] of the robots in ''Webcomic/GunnerkriggCourt'' seem to be this; Kat's analysis of them has difficulty determining what their power source is, or even how their moving parts (of which they seem to have comparatively few) connect. Later generations of them work on more conventional robotics principles.
* ''Webcomic/HighSchoolLessons'' has Locker #217, which is sentient and roams the school.
* ''Webcomic/MyMilkToof'' is about two walking, talking milk teeth.
* ''Webcomic/TheOrderOfTheStick'', while not featuring them as major characters, did bring us [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0301.html a brief intermission]] starring anthropomorphic movie snacks.
* ''ComicStrip/ThePerryBibleFellowship'' loves this trope, often taking it to dark and scary places.
* The Instrumen from ''Webcomic/TheSanityCircus'' were originally musical instruments who were brought to life and given alternate human forms by their creator. They can still turn back to their instrument forms if wished, and can still move and speak as normal. Steven the flute even emotes to an impressive extent without any real facial features.
* ''Webcomic/SexyLosers'' takes this in a disturbing direction. Blowup dolls have minds and can remember everything that's been done to them. A fairy occasionally shows up to animate them as full humans, whereupon they usually a): [[DrivenToSuicide kill themselves]], b): kill their former owners and / or or c): become prostitutes and remain as objectified as before, since they lack the education and skills to make decent lives for themselves. This being ''Sexy Losers'', all three of those fates are PlayedForLaughs.
* In ''Webcomic/TheStrongestSuit'', the Playing Cards themselves, who are human-sized and anthropomorphic. This is not truly the case in-universe however, as they are a legitimate sapient species rather than normal cards brought to life.
* Many of the habitants of the forest in ''Webcomic/TwistwoodTales'' are this, varying from having human-like bodies with object heads (Loghead, Bucket Boy, Elunar) to having their entire bodies be objects with human extremities (Steven the Stoven, Elpi, Tater Sam).

[[folder:Web Original]]
* WebVideo/TheAnnoyingOrange not only has [[AnthropomorphicFood talking produce]], but tons of talking inanimate objects as well.
* ''WebVideo/DontHugMeImScared'' features several villains who are inanimate objects. Sketchpad, Colin (a computer), and Tony (a clock) thus far. The Healthy Band consists of AnthropomorphicFood.

** Dazzlessence Jones is an animate inanimate Diamond.
* The Roleplay/InsaneCafeSeries features living vehicles that help fight against Chong.
* A great deal of the guest singers on ''WebVideo/PuppetHistory'' are these- specifically, we've seen a pile of diamonds, a propeller from the HMS Britannic, an old-fashioned steam train, [[GeniusLoci Mt. Vesuvius]], the Olympic Torch, a Music/RandyNewman-esque coin, a boat oar and a sword that ''used'' to be a boat oar, a spool of thread, a snowman, the sacred Golden Stool, Ziryab's Oud (an oud is a type of string instrument similar to a ukulele), a pair of poison bottles, a flower-bearing boat, a cute little piece of wheat, a chest of gold coins, a book, a freaky stained-glass window, a cloud that knows [[WhoShotJFK Who Shot JFK]], and the comet that wiped out the dinosaurs.
* LetsPlay/TheStrawhatNO: A cupcake in ''Pikmin 2'' Day 10 seems to move on its own; there is no Dweevil underneath it, and the nearby Blowhog is too far way to be pushing it. Yoshi suggests that it's being [[DemonicPossession possessed by the almond on top of it]].
* Winsler of ''Podcast/TrialsAndTrebuchets'' is quite fond of magically creating these using the spells Tiny Servant and Animate Objects.
* Sentient objects on ''Series/TheWeather'' include a water-bottle, a pair of miniature statues, and a piano. All of which can talk English and interact with others.
* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': This is Generator's power, the ability to generate spirits to possess and animate anything she can touch.

[[folder:Western Animation]]
* ''WesternAnimation/AdventureTime'' has BMO (pronounced Beemo), Finn and Jake's sentient video game console.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AnaAndBruno'', one of the many psych patients' hallucinations is a sentient toilet.
* ''WesternAnimation/ClaymationChristmasCelebration'': One scene sees "Carol of the Bells" performed by anthropomorphic bells striking themselves with hammers. One goofy-looking bell keeps missing his cue, then loses his hammer, much to the annoyance of the conductor Quasimodo.
* In a ''WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck'' episode ("A Revolution In Household Appliances"), Megavolt gained the ability to turn machines into sentient beings.
* ''WesternAnimation/DragonTales'' episode "Rope Trick" involved a sentient jump rope.
* ''WesternAnimation/ErnestLeVampire'': The succinctly-titled "Ernest And The Sewing Machine" involves Ernest's sewing machine coming to life after he hit it in frustration- it wasn't pleased.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Hammerman}}'': The magic shoes that allow Stanley to transform into the eponymous superhero are able to speak and move on their own, and even use their laces as makeshift arms.
* ''WesternAnimation/ICartoniDelloZecchinoDOro'' has a few examples:
** In "Il Caffè della Peppina", the ingredients Peppina uses which are not from animals are not only sentient, but even similar to animals (e.g. the chocolate jar is a dog, the jelly jar is a bear, the onions are gorillas etc.).
** The bass drum in "La Batterista" is shown to be sentient and even holds the other drums. A sentient piano also appears later in the song.
** The alarm clock from "La Sveglia Birichina" is sentient enough to help the boy get ready for school.
** Some sentient matryoshkas appear in certain scenes of "Balalaika Magica".
* ''WesternAnimation/JorelsBrother'': In the episode "Revolução das Coisas", every electric appliance in the house gains a life to seek revenge against the family and begin their revolution, lead by the old television (which had been replaced earlier in the season).
* The AnimatedAdaptation of ''ComicStrip/LittleLulu'' has an episode ("Musica-Lulu") where Lulu [[ItMakesSenseInContext gets put on trial by sentient musical instruments]]. They turn out to be AllJustADream, however.
* The "Thanksgiving Dream" segment of ''WesternAnimation/NicksThanksgivingFest'' is full of these. More specifically, there's AnthropomorphicFood and dancing kitchen appliances and utensils.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Puppetoons}}'': Living radio tubes (also called "radio valves") appear in "Radio Valve Revolution" and then appear again in "Ballet Of The Red Radio Tubes". The Jasper 'toons have a fair few as well- "Jasper In The Haunted House" sees random objects from around the house come alive to dance along to the ghost's piano playing (with the possibility that the piano could actually be playing itself as well), while "Jasper And The Beanstalk" has a talking harp that begs him to rescue her from the giant. The harp's model is later reused in "Jasper In A Jam", where she is joined by a whole host of other living instruments who inhabit an old pawn shop.
** The "Tool Box" segment animated for ''Curiosity Shop'' features tools in a toolbox coming alive.
* In ''WesternAnimation/PurnoDePurno'''s second series' 4th episode, Purno finds himself in a laundry world populated by sentient clothes.
* In ''WesternAnimation/JackieChanAdventures'', the [[PlotCoupon Rat Talisman]] is treated as [[WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway a useless power]] because it can't be used to fly or shoot fire. [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower Its applications]] have ranged from LivingToys by animating Jade's Gnomekop and Supermoose, both of them proving quite useful in battle. When Jackie is cursed to become a wooden puppet, the Rat saves the day by allowing puppet Jackie animation so he can still fight back and reverse the curse. It even one-ups the LivingStatue: it doesn't make the statues of the Chinese war hero Lo Pei and a Mesoamerican deity come to life, it actually ''transforms'' the statues into living copy-versions of Lo Pei and said deity, complete with all the deity's powers intact.
* ''Jammers'' (a Creator/BabyTV cartoon): The vast majority of the characters are living musical instruments, with the main cast being composed of an upright piano, a snare drum, a double bass, and a saxophone.
* ''WesternAnimation/FrostyTheSnowman''! The magic hat gives him the ability to animate (although it's partly also the PowerOfLove).
* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': Towlie and [[TalkingPoo Mr. Hanky]].
* The living clocks in the [[Creator/VanBeurenStudios Rainbow Parade cartoon]] "Grandfather's Clock", and the living kitchen appliances in "Picnic Panic".
* On ''WesternAnimation/RoliePolieOlie'', all of the family's household appliances and furniture are alive, with faces, personalities, and even the ability to move on their own. Many episodes involve such hijinks as the fridge getting sick or Mrs. Polie having to play "matador" with the vacuum cleaner.
* Numerous objects in ''WesternAnimation/TheRenAndStimpyShow'', including nipples.
* PlayedForLaughs in many ''WesternAnimation/FlipTheFrog'' cartoons where inanimate characters frequently come alive to be involved in various gags.
** ''WesternAnimation/FelixTheCat'' also encounters many living inanimate objects.
* The ''WesternAnimation/SushiPack'', along with [[EvilCounterpart The Legion of Low Tide]] and [[EvilKnockoff The Fried Food Fighting Force]] are all humanized versions of various food stuffs (sushi for the Pack and Legion, fried foods for [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin guess who]].
* ''WesternAnimation/BluesClues''! Sentient salt and pepper shakers, shovel and pail, side table drawer...
* ''WesternAnimation/AquaTeenHungerForce'' has the titular crew, Master Shake, Frylock and Meatwad. [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Exactly what they sound like.]]
* AP from ''WesternAnimation/AtomicPuppet'' is an animate HandPuppet [[ForcedTransformation who was]] [[WasOnceAMan once a]] superhero named Captain Atomic.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/CodenameKidsNextDoor'' episode "Operation: B.R.I.E.F.S., there was Mr. White, a living pair of underwear (with a bad attitude and [[BrooklynRage a Brooklyn accent]]) hired by the Delightful Children as [[ProfessionalKiller a hit man]] to go after Numbuh One. [[spoiler:But he had a HeelFaceTurn at the end.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/VeggieTales'' is about the adventures of animate produce. The show also features a living computer as a series regular and there's been at least two LivingToys and a living music box.
* ''WesternAnimation/JimmyTwoShoes'' has this as part of its BaitAndSwitchCredits in season 2. The series proper has some examples, including Bill the Ball and an unnamed sock.
* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'' has Benson, a walking, talking, [[HairTriggerTemper short-tempered]] gumball machine.
** In the episode of "Prankless", Gene, the manager of East Pines park, is a walking, talking snack vending machine.
* Speaking of gumballs, ''WesternAnimation/TheAmazingWorldOfGumball'' has sentient cacti, balloons, clouds, potatoes, bananas, toast and so on. And that's just among the main characters; everything in Elmore is alive and anything can also become anthropomorphic.
* The main cast of ''WesternAnimation/OscarsOrchestra'' is composed of sentient musical instruments, with the exception of [[TokenHuman Rebecca]].
* The Heart of Jong from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'', which can bring otherwise inanimate objects to life.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' (which dealt with Kim having to deal with learning how to drive), many of the appliances and a car in the episode possessed the ability to talk and move on their own. Justified in this case, as it is heavily implied that they possessed advanced AI created by the scientist that Dr. Drakken kidnapped.
* The tools in ''WesternAnimation/HandyManny''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/HellboyAnimated: Sword of Storms'', Kate Corrigan and another BPRD agent encounter ''tsukumogami'', including [[{{Karakasa}} an umbrella]], a teapot, and a sandal. Amusingly, Kate doesn't even bat an eye at them, until they start attacking.
* An early ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' short, ''Naughty But Mice'', had an electric shaver.
* ''WesternAnimation/DoraTheExplorer'' loves this trope [[ExaggeratedTrope so much]]. Sentient backpacks, maps, rollercoasters, cars, trees, leaves, [[LongList suns, clouds, stars, trains]]...the list goes on and on and on.
* ''WesternAnimation/GoofTroop'' sporadically contains examples. Some, like the evil magic hat that is capable of hexing people in "Talent to the Max" and the self-playing instruments in "Dr. Horatio's Magic Orchestra", are important to the plot. Others, like the truck with a face in "Where There's Smoke, There's Goof" and the bullets with faces in "Gunfight at the Okie-Doke Corral" are only there for joke purposes. [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight And none of it is ever explained despite being notably uncommon.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/MiddlemostPost'': : Needless to say, real-life clouds are nowhere near as peppy as Parker J. Cloud.
* ''Franchise/MyLittlePony'':
** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends'': In "The Revolt of Paradise Estate", a wizard sells the ponies magic paint brings anything it's used on to live, including assorted furniture, household implements, a baby buggy, floorboards, fence posts, the house gate and the like, all of which gain faces, personalities, speech and motion. They cooperate with the ponies at first, but eventually get fed up with them and decide that they can run the household just fine on their own.
** ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
*** Discord often uses his magic to animate regular objects. In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E11KeepCalmAndFlutterOn Keep Calm and Flutter On]]", he makes the candles dance and has various bits of tableware wreak havoc on the ponies. In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E12DiscordantHarmony Discordant Harmony]]", he animates a teapot (which also gains wings), some napkin origamis, a chaise lounge (which becomes a "chase lounge" that acts like a dog) and some ginseng tea bags (which start singing).
*** "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E13DoPrincessesDreamOfMagicSheep Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?]]": The Tantabus mainly creates its monsters by animating random objects in people's dreams, such as dresses, books, cakes, houses and the like, giving them fangs, eyes, and other body parts and setting them against their dreamers.
* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' sometimes features cutaway gags with animate inanimate objects. One example has a bullet talking to someone on a smartphone while being shot up in the sky.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheNewSpirit'': Donald Duck's pen, ink and blotter are alive. Even the radio seems alive, because it is shaped like a face and reacts to the things Donald says. The mailbox also reacts with surprise when Donald zooms past it.
* The Creator/{{Disney}} short ''Tick Tock Tale'' is about living clocks. They can't talk but they move when humans aren't around.
* Not immediately clear in ''WesternAnimation/{{Crac}}'', but it eventually becomes obvious that the smiley face on the rocking chair changes expressions with the rocking chair's mood. And the ending reveals that the rocking chair can rock itself.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFantasticFlyingBooksOfMrMorrisLessmore'': Morris is transported to a magical library where the books are sentient and can fly. A children's book about Humpty Dumpty can even communicate with Morris by flipping its pages so that its illustrations become animated.
* Some episodes of the fantasy-oriented 2000s reboot of ''WesternAnimation/{{Babar}}'' has countries or "lands" of animated inanimated objects like the Land of Toys, the Land of Games and the Land of Ice.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TheJungleShow'', during Elvis Elephant's episode, four glasses can be seen with faces on them. They clean themselves up and line up on the counter behind the counter. They even tear up during the part of the song about hunters killing elephants for their ivory tusks.
* ''WesternAnimation/FluffyGardens'': Green Ball, as its name suggests, is a living tiny green rubber ball with eyes and a mouth. It can't talk, but it can communicate through squeaky sounds and he's shown to be empathic.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSmurfs1981'': There is an episode called "All Work and No Smurf" in which several Smurfs transform into living versions of the tools they use in their work. They retain their limbs and their ability to speak.
* In the ''WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants'' episode "All That Glitters", Spat, [=SpongeBob=]'s old spatula, becomes this in the next hospital scene.
* The Sock Roaches of ''The Beeps'' are living socks who communicate solely through singing.
* This is common in ''WesternAnimation/TucaAndBertie''. Bertie's phone has its own personality and feelings, and in one episode, she deals with a sentient filing cabinet that begs her to feed it files.
* ''WesternAnimation/LolitaLolita'': Lolita has been known to get [[WildTake reactions]] out of objects. In one episode, it happened with her exercise bike after she took her shirt off.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheStrangeChores'': Charlie and Pierce briefly become a sentient teapot and mobile phone respectively courtesy of a body swap machine in "Swap Back The Body Swap".
** Before that, in "Finish The Mops Bucket List", the trio have to help complete the [[Main/{{Pun}} bucket list]] of a mop that they bought to life.
* ''WesternAnimation/LetsGoLuna'':
** The circus act that appears at the beginning of the episode "Lullaby for Baby Vlad" involves several anthropomorphic bowling pins.
** Much to the surprise of the main characters, Senor Fabuloso's wall is sentient as shown in "What's the Big Idea?".
** In "Hoopin' Hopper", Luna tries to fix a ruined basketball hoop by using magic. She brings it to life by accident, and it becomes a recurring character for the rest of the episode.
* Many Wayne Phenomena in ''WesternAnimation/WelcomeToTheWayne'' are living objects, some are implied to always have been alive like a secret tribe of pipes and their washing machine pharaoh, a trio consisting of a walking nose, glasses and a moustache, and a group of living mannequins. Others have obtained life by other means like Gleecoman through "Rainbow Gas" and a society of bowling pins that gained life by making a deal with the aforementioned mannequins.
* The ''WesternAnimation/WildGrinders'' episode "Board Story" involves skateboards (as well as other wheeled vehicles) secretly being alive a la ''Franchise/ToyStory''.
* ''WesternAnimation/CityIsland2022'': All of the characters are talking objects. For example, Watt is a talking lightbulb.
* ''WesternAnimation/SuperWish'': Many of the inhabitants of the Happy Land of Birthdays are party objects with arms and legs. Among the cast there's Ronny-Bobby Candle 4 (a candle), Bon Bon the pinata, and Balloonicus.

* ''WesternAnimation/ICartoniDelloZecchinoDOro'' has a few examples:

When Jackie is cursed to become a wooden puppet, the Rat saves the day by allowing puppet Jackie animation so he can still fight back and reverse the curse.

* The Heart of Jong from ''WesternAnimation/XiaolinShowdown'', which can bring otherwise inanimate objects to life.
* An episode of ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'' (which dealt with Kim having to deal with learning how to drive), many of the appliances and a car in the episode possessed the ability to talk and move on their own. Justified in this case, as it is heavily implied that they possessed advanced AI created by the scientist that Dr. Drakken kidnapped.
* The tools in ''WesternAnimation/HandyManny''.
* In ''WesternAnimation/HellboyAnimated: Sword of Storms'', Kate Corrigan and another BPRD agent encounter ''tsukumogami'', including [[{{Karakasa}} an umbrella]], a teapot, and a sandal. Amusingly, Kate doesn't even bat an eye at them, until they start attacking.

* This occurs in tale type ATU 425B, "Son of the Witch" (previousky, "The Witch's Tasks"), a subtype of the more general type ATU 425, "The Search for the Lost Husband", of the international Aarne-Thompson-Uther Index, and also in former tale type [=AaTh=] 428, "Thw Wolf": the heroine finds herself at the mercy of her husband1s mother (a man-eatinh creature or sorceress), and has to perform tasks for her. One of the tasks is to visit her sister (who lives in Hell in Scandinavian variants), and get from there something (usually, a box or casket, but it may also be a comb or tamis). Advised by her husband, she treats the sorceress's sister's guardians/servants with kindness: compliments a crooked tree, drinks from a dirty stream, oils the hinges of a door or gate. When the heroine escapes from the sorceress's sister's house, the servants are ordered by their mistress to stop her, but they say that, due to heroine's kindness, they will let her go.
