Animals have been "personified" by humans LONG before anything "Disney". Literally for millennia. This is why doing such was acceptable because you see it in many books of parables, children's stories, and even religious texts, with animals (and even insects) depicted in art, writing, and song, well before he showed up.

Thanks to "technology", Disney just took the idea, monetized it, and spread it further than how such characters were passed down generationlly, through oral and/or written tradition in many ethnic communities, by taking advantage of the era of film and television, and eventually theme parks, and the internet.
