Animals In Fiction

Is there a scale for how "human-like" animals are, or how they communicate?

1. Like real life.
2. Communicate within themselves, without humans knowing. (Toy Story, Madagascar)
3. Communicate within themselves, with some humans involved. (Charlotte's Web, Calvin And Hobbes, Family Guy) Other humans may take this as normal, find it odd, not believe it, or not know of it.
4. Communicate with humans. (Shrek)
5. Replace humans. (Chicken Little, Spongebob Squarepants)
