not a suggestion, but a reference that immediately came to mind...

it's called,
"BAMBIFICATION: the mental conversion of flesh-and-blood living creatures into cartoon characters possessing bourgeois Judeo-Christian attitudes and morals."

- as defined by Douglas Coupland in Generation X (Abacus; 1991)

or how about Lassie... the ultimate canine representation of unquestioned love and devotion... always finding its way home... the parable of the prodigal son in reverse... or maybe not, because I don't like dogs!

I won't replace your #1 choice, as I whole-heartedly agree.

I would like to replace #2 - I did not like that movie - I'm going to offer up "Clyde" from Clint Eastwood's "Every Which Way But Loose" franchise. (I was going to say Yoda, but I didn't think he'd count).

On second thought - let's go bigger....King Kong. Now, I'm not smart enough to say what he represents - I'm sure something along racial lines, or America's views on the world in general, but maybe one of you will chime in.
