80 Days Around the World With Willy Fog
Detail-oriented, meticulous Willy Fog lives in London and is in the process of hiring a new butler. While at the pub that day, Willy finds himself faced with a fascinating question: how many days would it take to travel the world? While his comrades believe it would take three months, Willy wagers he can do it in only eighty days - a wager that his peers meet with a 20,000 pound reward if he is able to pull it off. Willy and his new butler set forth that very evening to complete their quest - but challenges await! A devious wolf has been hired to stop Willy from achieving his goal, and two nosy inspectors are on Willy's trail, certain that he was responsible for a bank robbery...

add recAnimal Treasure Island and 80 Days with Willy Fog are whimsical, fun adventure anime involving various animals. They'd appeal to the same audiences, and are cute to watch - try it on for size!
Animal Treasure Island is very similar in its style to that of Willy Fog. It has that sort of old parchment look to it and it is charming and adorable. The main difference is obviously the cast being anthropromorphic animals in Willy Fog with no humans but Animal Treasure Island has some humans thrown in.
Both are retellings of famous stories we are bound to know and love and both are aimed at children although there is plenty to be enjoyed in both for adults (apart from the English voice acting in Animal Treasure Island!). I would find myself recommending both if you like either one.

add recPuss in Boots and Animal Treasure Island are fun, family-friendly looks at swashbuckling classics. Animals are at the forefront of each title, and the two anime have a remarkably similar feel. If you liked one, definitely try out the other for size.

add recThis recommendation should be a no-brainer, but I'll give it anyways. Takarajima and Animal Treasure Island both are stories about, duh, Treasure Island. Conveniently, both are made around the same time period as well, and have a family-friendly feel - that is, except for the increased darkness in Takarajima. If you enjoy adventures filled with pirates, look no further than these two anime.
