Not all kids movies NEED talking animals. However, the fact that they don't talk, but a willow tree DOES (in this film at least) admittedly confused me a bit too...

As far as I am aware of I have never seen it as a written rule for it to be a kids movie to have at least one talking animal

If you think about it, Beauty and the Beast didn't have any talking animals, I mean does the Beast really count as an animal? The only animals that I am counting that are in the animated feature is the wolves and Philippe.

My guess is to make the movie more serious maybe that's why they didn't talk.
