Why do cartoon animals have eyebrows?

It struck me when I was going to the cinema about a week ago with a good friend to see Black Swan, which had been fully booked two hours before hand! And ended up seeing The King's Speech (Socail Network should have won) but I noticed while in the que that the horse on the Tangled poster had eyebrows...and I am sure horses don't have eyebrows (googles)...no they don't. Adding eyebrows is just plain wierd and creepy, I mean why?
Was it some high up person going "I can't associate with this character enough! Do something!"
Nervous Character designer "We could put eyebrows on, make it look more human"
Although kudos to disney for putting in all that money for massive CGI development and supporting Pixar and funding the original Tron.
And now that I've been mulling it over I'm sure the rodent companions in cinderella have eyebrows and clothes! As well as the monkey in Alladin. I guess this is just a random thing which has been bothering me for a bit...anyway I've had a good ramble, thanks for bearing with me.
