Speaking of Animals and Their Families

CinemaSerf

A collection of zoo occupants are filmed in their not-so-natural habitats and given the opportunity to offer us a quick comment about their young. It’s the usual suspects from this series of light-hearted features that appear but it’s probably only the owls that stood out for me, with the little chick offering us an apt critique of the whole film in just a few well chosen words. The visual effects synchronise their lips with their quips quite nicely and it probably served entertainingly enough as an introduction to animals for many an urban child who might never have seen them before, but otherwise it tries to squeeze a little too much fom the joke.
