I like to think that Bruce has a meticulously maintained order of where and how to store all the gadgets in the Batcave. If it's not followed properly, his entire day is ruined and his disappointment is immeasurable - and Dick knows this.
So whenever they fight, Dick will absolutely sneak into the storage and place the slightly larger Batarangs with the smaller ones, switch the flash grenades with the smoke bombs, and maybe even park the Batmobile slightly sideways instead of having it face the exit directly.
It drives Bruce crazy, but he can't react outwardly lest his other children notice and this cursed psychological warfare begins spreading.

Duke: I wonder who invented the meatball.
Damian: What do you mean invented?
Duke: Well, some guy back in the fifteenth century must’ve said “Yes, meat is good, but it would be even better in ball form."

Obviously, if you want to count any of the other "duo" protagonists in the films (ie, Tramp, Perdita, Maid Marian, O'Malley, etc), be my guest. I just simply listed the ones whom I consider to the main animal leads of their respective movies.
Also, I threw in Winnie-the-Pooh because, yes, he's technically a toy, but the narrative always calls him a "bear of very little brain." Also, I think he's a good "wild card" lmao
Happy voting! ❤

Fun fact: Outside of the USA, most Disney Animated films with a specific setting are inspired by Spanish or English culture
"Spanish" here meaning "related to Spain or Spanish-speaking Latin America." Case in point:
"Saludos Amigos"--Several segments take place partially or fully in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, and Peru.
"The Three Caballeros"--Also segmented stories. These take place in the Galapagos Islands, Uruguay, and Mexico, as well as a character passing over Chile, Peru, and Ecuador.
"Encanto"--The first Disney film to take place in Latin America and embracing the (modern) culture that wasn't made up of segments. This one takes place in a fictional village in 20th-century Colombia.
"Wish"--The description for the film explicitly states that the Kingdom of Rosas is off the shore of the Iberian Peninsula, which includes Spain and Portugal.
Granted, these are only 5 films, but it's still a significant amount. It's interesting to see the evolution of these movies: goodwill films (SA and TTC), a non-European medieval empire (TENG), a film that appeals and appreciates modern Latin Americans (Encanto), and one of those few European fantasy movies that takes place in a specific setting (Wish).
"Alice in Wonderland"--This is kinda cheating since most of it takes place in Wonderland, but both the book and the film exhibit Alice being from England.
"Peter Pan"--Again, kinda cheating, but it's made clear where the Darlings are from.
"101 Dalmatians"--The first Disney animated film to clearly show it takes place in England and stay there.
"The Sword in the Stone"--Based on the book about a legendary or possibly real English (or Welsh) King--though "England" as it exists now didn't exist when he was reported to be alive.
"Robin Hood"--Based on the legendary English hero.
"The Great Mouse Detective"--Am I the only one who felt like a Sherlock Holmes musical (with humans) was a missed opportunity?
I was gonna count "Ichabod and Mr. Crane," but half of it does take place in New York, so I wasn't gonna divide people.
It's also interesting to note that half of these films center on animals.

Underrated Disney movies that I love
1) Big Hero 6
This movie always makes me cry like a baby
2) Dinosaur
Before Disney Plus, I swear I had thought I dreamt this movie. Because no one else seemed to remember it. But honestly this movie makes me cry so much. Like definitely worth a watch
3) The Wild
This was clearly Disney's attempt to compete with Madagascar. But it was a cute attempt, nostalgia is definitely helping this but it's definitely a classic
But the iconic dialogue lives in my head.
"who knows how to stere?"
"we are animals"
"so none of us"
4) 101 Dalmatians
Cruella Deville is a bop. And i have to say the movie is so aesthetically pleasing. It makes me happy to see all those little puppies just vibing as the adults scramble to save them
5) Atlantis; the lost empire
This movie made me bisexual
6) The Emperor's new groove
This movie made me the person I am today. It's the perfect combination of heart, humor and just utter ridiculousness. This movie genuinely feels like a warm hug of my childhood after a particularly hard day
7) the Rescuer series
Under movie which I was convinced for the longest time was a fever dream. I love that they made this film. It broke my heart to see both those children and how the adults in their life let them down but it made me the person I am today. I work in healthcare to make sure that no child ever feels like that. So this movie really is worth the watch..brilliantly written just deserves so much more credit
8) The Hunchback of Notre Dame
First of all, the crush I had on Esmeralda is unreal. Like she is so pretty. Also, i love how they showed that she didn't love Quasimodo but not because he was ugly but he just wasn't the person for her. Also the villian death was so Amazing. I was so happy when that mother ducker perished
Also god helped the outcasts deserves an Oscar
.
9) Brother Bear
Another story that makes.me cry. And i love the portrayal of Native American lore compared to Pocahontas where there was a glamoroisation of the coloniser. The ending always gets me and makes.me an ugly crying mess
Also the iconic "stop.telling people I'm dead" meme
10) Robin Hood
The humor in this movie is unmatched. I had the biggest crush on Robin. He was so smooth and those eyes. Sir! Omg please.
Also i think it's so well written which can't be said for some Disney movies
