Top 5 non-speaking animal characters
My friend evil_macaroni from Livejournal asked me to list my "Top 5 non-speaking animal characters in movies, TV or books?"
And my answers are:
White Fang and Buck. I mention these two characters in the same breath because they are mirror twins. White Fang, the title character of Jack London's classic novel, travels from the feral circumstance of his birth in the Far North to an old age lived in placid domesticity in the gentle south. Buck, the main character in Call of the Wild by the same author, is stolen from his owner's home in California to become first an Alaskan sled dog and then a wild dog among wolves.
Pixel, the Cat Who Walks through Walls. He does say "blert" a lot, but that doesn't count as talking, does it?
Because they belong together, I'm naming them together - Tao, Luath and Bodger, aka Ch. Boroughcastle Brigadier of Doune, the three animals in The Incredible Journey. I refer of course only to their depictions in the book or the first movie, as I understand some idiot made them talk in the remake.
Shadowfax, the silver horse companion of Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings. Chief of the Mearas, the fastest horse in Middle Earth.
And, because you didn't specify fictional characters, Elsa the Lioness, from the book Born Free, written by Joy Adamson.
