** Also used, of course, in Creator/VideoBrinquedo's [[TheMockbuster Mockbuster]] of this movie, ''Animation/{{Ratatoing}}''.

* ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'', films and series. Theirs comes complete with animal {{Expy}}s of actual human historical figures, and the mice themselves are essentially metaphors for [[FantasticRacism oppressed minorities]], with cats as the oppressors.

* The animals in the first ''WesternAnimation/IceAge'' film, and ''only'' in the first film. The sequels actually changed this so that they are now the ''only'' inhabitants of Earth.

* ''ComicBook/PeterWheat'': The comic is about [[{{Lilliputians}} tiny humans]] who live alongside anthropomorphic bugs in a wheat field, ruling it as their kingdom, and keeping it safe from the Hornet Kingdom.

* ''TabletopGame/PlueschPowerUndPlunder'' is a German game about [[LivingToys sapient, living]] [[EverythingsBetterWithPlushies plushies]] who have to keep up the {{Masquerade}} from the [[HumansThroughAlienEyes "tramplers"]].

* The early ''WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes'' cartoon ''WesternAnimation/HoneymoonHotel'' is set in one of these. Bugtown is populated entirely by insects, with buildings made out of objects like cans, lunch boxes, and tea kettles.

* ''Literature/TheLittles'' is a similar series to the more famous ''The Borrowers'', focusing on a WainscotSociety of tiny humanoids ([[LittleBitBeastly with mouse tails]]). The titular family live in houses, but others live in trees or underground burrows, and one book even introduces tiny cats and livestock kept by some.

* A classic of British fantasy literature, ''Literature/TheLittleGreyMen'', features four gnomes who presumably had a Mouse World culture once, but now are the LastOfTheirKind.

[[AC:{{Anime}} and {{Manga}}]]

* ''ComicBook/TheSmurfs'', a Belgian comic about a race of tiny blue humanoids that was famously adapted into a much more well-known cartoon series, and then a movie series mainly known for being a HumanFocusedAdaptation.

%%[[AC: Fanfiction]]
%%* The Psyches and their city-village Psychelia from ''Fanfic/EmpathTheLuckiestSmurf''.

* The Polish film ''Kingsajz'' is set in such a world, inhabited by gnomes. The title is a phonetic rendition of "king size", here a normal human's size which can be temporarily achieved through a magic potion.

* ''VideoGame/MarioParty DS'' has this as a major theme. The plot of the story mode involves Bowser shrinking the player characters to mouse size, and the boards and even the minigames reflect this by using various everyday objects at relatively-giant sizes.

* ''The Doll People'' features dolls that take an oath upon being made which allows them to keep their sapience. Oddly, Barbie dolls are not alive, although fictional brands of dolls are.

* The ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory'' films are set in a world where children's toys are sentient and live their own lives when humans (who they see as almost godlike figures) aren't looking. Their adventures are complicated by the fact that they are miniature versions of humans and animals; getting dumped into a cardboard box and left to be forgotten in the attic may as well be a FateWorseThanDeath for them.

* The forest in ''WesternAnimation/Epic2013''. Bonus points for an actual mouse showing up.

* Most of ''WesternAnimation/PinkyAndTheBrain'' is set in a "normal" human world; however, the episode "The Third Mouse" (a parody of ''Film/TheThirdMan'') is set inexplicably in a 194's Mouse World.

* ''Literature/WatershipDown'', except they live in a rural setting.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants'': Bikini Bottom is inhabited by fish other sea creatures no bigger than regular fish, have their own society with many water-based themes.
