Animal Crossing is PEOPLE! No, really! Theorists, this may be one of the most unexpected theories I've put out recently, but once you see it, you will never unsee it. I have gathered TONS of evidence that our player character is only SEEING the villagers of Animal Crossing as animals. They are not, in fact, ACTUAL talking, anthropomorphic animals. Have I said the word animals enough yet? Well get ready Loyal Theorists, I am about to blow your mind! Animals!

Okay but literally in the museum you can see a line in the floor that describes the evolution of living beings and you can clearly see that the villagers are just animals that have evolved into a more intelligent beings alongside humans. Besides, you can constantly see more humans all across the game, in your island, in other islands... Humans are just another species that live in the Animal Crossing world

In New Leaf, it's possible for grumpy characters to ask you what animal they'd be if they were an animal. Thing is, if you answer them with what animal they are, they're quick to point out that they already are that. So. There ya go.

I think an even better example of the character haveing some kind of out of body experience is the dream islands. You can literally travel around other people's islands without actually being there
They do comment on your look! And its funny how in Wild World on the DS Lite there was an axolotl as a shrink that would come to town every now and then and teach you to express emotions. Even in Horizons the Islanders teach you how to express certain emotions. I’ve always had a suspicion that our character is living with a certain mental illness.

Well, there is literally a family tree in the museum that explains that the villagers are more "evolved" forms of our normal animals, or that at least they split somewhere in the tree from the "normal animals". There is even the fossil of a primate before the spot where your villager can pose. Basically they see less-evolved animals the same as we humans see monkeys.

A few things, in the older animal crossing games you can’t just customize your character in a mirror, what about if you play multiplayer, obviously that other player character will be another human, some villagers have dialogue if you wear the animal costume associated with them where they comment that you’re dressed like them for example if you talk to kiki while wearing a cat costume

I knew a demon wolf boy in college. He was in my economics class and he said he could also control the weather, but there were no windows and he was tired. He'd also have me read his smutty fanfiction in the library whenever class got out early. Also also he'd follow me to my car every day and try to get in the back seat of my car and ask my to take him somewhere like a fast food place or gas station. Never did. A year after I dropped out, my calendar alarm went off and it said "sonso's birthday." The demon wolf boy had somehow put his birthday in my phone without me knowing.

13:27 Matpat missed the opportunity to talk about the dream islands (which perfectly fitted the description) and instesd talked about something that had nothing to do with what he described

Why did this make me think so much about an episode of Dragons Race To The Edge where Ruffnut thinks he’s turning into a werewolf-
The Museum has an evolution section showing which animal evolves from which prehistoric animals. The outlines are the villager animals. Standing on two legs and all. The villagers will also sometimes refer to themself as the animal they are. A hamster villager when you place a hamster cage down has a pretty funny reaction to seeing it's tiny, uncivilized cousin.

I always figured it was just a case of branched evolution - one branch in each of the species that exist as a sapient species diverged from the main lines ages ago, and evolved similarly to humans from that point on. The realistic animals still exist because they took a different path, one that paralleled our animals' evolutionary paths precisely.

The final room of the fossil museum tells as much in a beautifully subtle manner. All of the lines on the floor that represent the paths life took end in a line up of silhouettes of the villagers, with an empty spot for the player, showing that they evolved along side them.
