How about the complete works of Terry Pratchett or specifically his "Discworld" series of books.
A world that is similar in so many ways to ours, except that it is FLAT, moves thru space on the bacls of four gigantic elephants standing on the back of a really really seriously large space going turtle.
Did I forget to mention that there are wizards, witches, dwarves, trolls and all many of other creatures?
Bring on the animators!
