* PlayedWith by Creator/EricShwartz in his "Amy The Squirrel" Amiga-made animation. Amy goes out for a walk to work wearing only a skirt, prominent breasts covered only in fur, and [[VaporWear no underwear]] either. Unlike most cases of a HalfDressedCartoonAnimal, Amy's walk instead causes a large number of accidents as every guy on the way turns to gawk at her, then runs into something, implied to be because she's half-naked.

The majority of half dressed cartoon animals are on the CivilizedAnimal and FunnyAnimal tier, but half dressed cartoon animals can range from NearlyNormalAnimal and even BeastMan on the SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism. However, as BeastMan are more humanoid than they are animal, they can look [[UncannyValley very unnerving]] to some (Especially if they are nearing LittleBitBeastly tier). As a result, pantsless and shirtless {{Beast M|an}}en aren't very common.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH2 Timmy To The Rescue'' - The direct Sequel to The Secret Of NIMH depicts Mrs. Brisby's 2 sons Timothy and his brother Martin wearing a shirt but no pants and runs around barefoot. Later on Timothy meets a girl mouse named Jenny who also wears a shirt but does not wear pants and also runs around barefoot.

to:

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH'' - The film that launched a thousand furries. Pretty much every character. There is even a scene in the third act where Justin suggests to Mrs. Brisby that she remove her cape (the only thing she wears) so that it won't 'get caught on something.' The scene unintentionally turns Justin into a pervert in the eyes of some fans.

* Timothy Q. Mouse and the crows from ''WesternAnimation/{{Dumbo}}'' are pantless, but the stork is more or less fully dressed.
* Hyacinth Hippo from the "Dance Of The Hours" segment of ''WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}}''.
* Agent Wendy Pleakley from ''Franchise/LiloAndStitch''.
* Both Waternoose and Roz from ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc''. Besides those two, Celia, maybe a couple other females, Sulley when wearing a tie at the end, and the grocer and octopus (both in aprons), everyone else runs around stark naked---fur and general reptile/amphibian/fish/insect anatomy rules acting as modesty.
* Many of the Donkey Boys from ''WesternAnimation/{{Pinocchio}}''.
* Bernard the mouse from ''WesternAnimation/TheRescuers''. Miss Bianca is either an example of this trope or an AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal.
** Jake in [[WesternAnimation/TheRescuersDownUnder the sequel]] wears a [[NiceHat fedora]] and a shirt, but no pants or shoes (possibly justified as being a kangaroo mouse, he has big feet).
* The anthropomorphic cast of Disney's ''WesternAnimation/RobinHood'' film follows the bottomless male/fully-clothed female rule. Possibly because a medieval tunic/jerkin with no trousers looks a lot less risque than a medieval peasant blouse/corset with no skirt.
* The Disney version of [[WesternAnimation/TheManyAdventuresOfWinnieThePooh Winnie the Pooh]] wears a shirt with no bottoms. It should be noted that in the [[Literature/WinnieThePooh original book]] illustrations, Pooh only wore the shirt during winter, going ''au naturel'' otherwise.
* Abby Mallard from ''WesternAnimation/ChickenLittle'', which was somewhat strange considering that the majority of the rest of the cast either wore full costumes or nothing at all (with the possible exception of Fish Out Of Water, but his helmet was for breathing, not really for fashion).
* The Beast from ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'' actually starts out as one, wearing only a tattered set of pants and a long, dark red cape. When he starts to become more polite, he becomes a BarefootCartoonAnimal.
* Abu the monkey from ''WesternAnimation/{{Aladdin}}'' only wears an open vest and a hat. Unlike most examples, he is a pet and a 'real' animal, so it's particularly bizarre.
* ''WesternAnimation/BeeMovie'' lampshades this trope.
-->'''Reporter:''' Who are you wearing?\\
'''Barry:''' Calvin Klein, and I'm not wearing pants.
** Not only are the male bees pantsless, but the female bees are that way as well. Apparently they don't make pants with sting holes.
* Various animal characters from ''WesternAnimation/{{Hoodwinked}}'' including the Big Bad Wolf, Boingo the bunny and Twitchy the squirrel. The Wolf initially wore a blue hoodie in the first movie, and later [[BarefootCartoonAnimal added pants]] to his wardrobe for the [[WesternAnimation/HoodwinkedTooHoodVersusEvil sequel]].
* Po, Tai Lung, Master Monkey, and Master Crane from ''WesternAnimation/KungFuPanda'' all wear shorts, but no shirt.
* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Rango}}'', the main character's regular duds consist of a red tropical shirt. There are a few supporting characters including Wounded Bird and Waffles the horned toad that apply to this trope as well.
** Most of the other (anthropomorphic) animals are either fully clothed or {{Accessory Wearing Cartoon Animal}}s. Rango gets a new outfit that includes pants before too long and remains fully clothed for the rest of the movie.
* Edmund from ''WesternAnimation/RockADoodle'', upon being transformed into a cat by the evil Grand Duke of Owls, starts out naked when he is rescued by the other animals, [[PleasePutSomeClothesOn but he immediately had to put on a shirt and a hat]] [[RuleOfFunny because everyone else was wearing clothing, and only he isn't.]]
* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH2 Timmy To The Rescue'' - The direct Sequel to The Secret Of NIMH depicts Mrs. Brisby's 2 sons Timothy and his brother Martin wearing a shirt but no pants and runs around barefoot. Later on Timothy meets a girl mouse named Jenny who also wears a shirt but does not wear pants and also runs around barefoot.
* Roquefort the mouse from ''WesternAnimation/TheAristocats'' is usually naked, but is occasionally seen wearing a hat and coat at times.
