Enye yezinkampani zangempela zokuqala zezinja kuyisithombe senkolo mayelana ne-collie okuthiwa i-Lassie ngaphansi kwegama "Lesi, Buyela", esabonakala esikrinini kude nango-1943. Le filimu yadutshulwa yi-gangster u-Erik Knight futhi yaba yimpumelelo enkulu phakathi kwazo zonke izigaba zabantu baseMelika. Isithombe sitshela ngomfana onenja oyintandokazi kaLissie, kodwa umndeni wakhe uphoqelekile ukuwuthengisa ngenxa yobunzima bezezimali. U-Imalchik, nenja bayathandana kakhulu, ngenxa yalokho iLassie ibalekela inkosi entsha futhi iqala ukufuna umfana wakhe othandekayo. Kusukela ukukhululwa kwefilimu yokuqala, isusiwe okuningi okukhishwayo kanye nemiculo ephathelene neLassie, okugcine ukukhishwa ngo-2006.
Okulandelayo okuthandwa kakhulu yisithombe esibizwa ngokuthi "amaDalmatians 101", sidutshulwe ngesisekelo sefilimu ye-cartoon eponymous ngo-1996. Ifilimu, ekhuluma ngokulwa nomndeni osondelene nentombazane, abanikazi babo kanye nabantwana bezingane ezidumile zaseDalmatian neCroella De De Ville, abaphupha ukuthunga isikhumba semvubu ezikhumba zamantombazane angu-99, okokuqala kubonakala kunesihluku, kodwa lapho beqala ukubuka noma yibaphi abazali abakwazi ukufundisa ukuthi isithombe sikwazi ukufundisa izingane ukuhlukanisa phakathi kokuhle nokubi nokukhathazeka ngobuqotho abafowethu. Naphezu kokuthi ifilimu iningi liyakuthandana nezingane, abantu abadala nabo bangathola okuthakazelisayo kakhulu, ukuze "i-Dalmatian" ingabizwa ngokuphepha ngokuthi enye yezithombe ezinhle kakhulu zokubukwa komndeni.
Okulandelayo kuza omunye wemidwebo ethandwa kakhulu mayelana nezinja kuwo wonke umhlaba ngaphansi kwegama elithi "Beethoven", ababukeli abaqala ukubona ngo-1992. Ifilimu mayelana noSt Bernard omuhle futhi onomusa ogama lakhe linguBeethoven, obanjwe udokotela wezilwane ezimbi ukuze ahlolwe, futhi abanikazi benja bazama ukumkhipha ekuthunjweni, banqobe ubunzima abaningi endleleni, baye baba nomuzwa wezithombe zezwe. Akungabazeki ukuthi kuyoba okungenani umuntu oyedwa kunoma yiliphi izwe elingenakubukela lolu hlobo lwefilimu ye-adventure mayelana neBeethoven's St. Bernard.
Kula mafilimu amasha nezinja eziholayo, kufanele kube nomfanekiso omuhle njengo "Marley no-Mina" ka-2008 wokukhululwa, okusho ukuthi uMarley, ohlala emndenini wabathengi abasha bephephandabeni, ukhulume kabi kakhulu kodwa engabonakali. I-Marlidostavlyaet abanikazi bayo banokukhathazeka okuningi, ngoba ngenxa yakhe bawela njalo ezimweni ezingenangqondo futhi abakwazi ukubeka izinto ekhaya, kodwa naphezu kwalokhu, inja iba ngumngane omkhulu womndeni. I-Finalfilm iyadabukisa, kodwa isithombe sonke sigcwele uthando oluhle ngomngane onamawoya amane, ngakho-ke ngemuva kokubukela amaqabunga kuphela.
Yiqiniso, kunamanye amafilimu amaningi mayelana nezinja ezenziwe abenzi befilimu abanekhono, ngoba isihloko sobuhlobo nabafundi abanamantombazane sekuyisikhathi eside sinesithakazelo kubantu abaningi banamuhla, kodwa lezi zithombe ezingenhla zisaziwa kakhulu kubantu bakithi.
