A Mature Animal Story is a work designed for and marketed toward adults and older teens featuring anthropomorphized animals as its main cast, and which contains content that is generally considered inappropriate for little kids. A Mature Animal Story breaks away from this perception. The primary audience is adults and/or older teens. Stories still might be comedic, but they will also often have a serious and dark side to them. Many such works are almost entirely non-comedic in nature. They often contain graphic violence, sexuality, and profanity.

  • A Mature Animal Story is a work designed for and marketed toward adults and older teens featuring anthropomorphized animals as its main cast, and which contains content that is generally considered inappropriate for little kids. Traditionally, cartoons, comics and other stories featuring animals as major characters are treated as light, whimsical, funny entertainment for small children, not serious works for their elders. While adults may enjoy such works, they are primarily marketed toward children, and are careful to avoid material considered either too explicit for children or too serious and sophisticated for children to understand. While such works still might contain some conflict adversity, or even Disney Death, it is always at a level considered "Family Friendly" and "Safe for Kids". Also, until recent advances in CGI, anthropomorphized animimals in visual mediums were mostly confined to rather silly looking costumes, cartoons and comics. These features were generally associated with less serious children's stories, and therefore weren't going to be all that big on more "mature" topics like violence. Talking Animals in particular are often considered kids stuff. A Mature Animal Story breaks away from this perception. The primary audience is adults and/or older teens. Stories still might be comedic, but they will also often have a serious and dark side to them. Many such works are almost entirely non-comedic in nature. They often contain graphic violence, sexuality, and profanity. These stories involve animal characters ranging from Largely Normal Animal to Petting Zoo Person on the Sliding Scale of Anthropomorphism. They frequently take place in a World of Funny Animals. This is a Sub-Trope to Animation Age Ghetto and What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?. Examples: Please note that if it is marketed as a work for children, it is not this trope.
