* This is how Pauline Clarke figured the Young Men would handle it in ''Return of the Twelves''. The Young Men were a set of (actual) wooden soldiers owned by Branwell Bronte and his sisters Charlotte, Emily and Anne. Taking off on the Bronte kids' idea that the soldiers would see themselves as normal sized and perceive the kids as giant ''Arabian Nights''-type "Genii", Clarke's idea was that the soldiers came to life and moved around when nobody was looking. She describes them navigating the huge everyday world with intelligence and aplomb.

** The novel (and the later sequels) ''did'' state that the Rats of NIMH had made their tunnels surprisingly human-like (and it only got more so, after they moved to the valley, including a statue of one of the rats who died near the end of the first book). ''Rasco'' even has some of the younger rats figuring out how to make ''candy''. And Mrs. Frisby was married to [[spoiler: one of the mice from NIMH. So her husband might have been partial to human-like amenities, and Mrs. Frisby humoured him.]]

* ''KabuNoIsaki'' by [[YokohamaKaidashiKikou Hitoshi Ashinano]]. The story is set in a world where everything except humans is 10 times larger (in ''linear'' size), but apparently the Earth surface gravity force is ''not'' 10 times stronger. Result: Japan appears huge and sparsely populated, humans are piloting what looks like toy airplanes, landing on fuki (butterbur) leaves and such.

* Played quite realistically in the DisneyAnimatedCanon film ''{{Ratatouille}}'', where the most BambooTechnology utilized by the rats is their musical instruments. Other than that, they're quadruped rodents. Remy, who engages in more humanlike behavior like walking on his hind legs and reading, is considered an oddity by the others.
