INTRIGUED BY THE TITLE- I ORDERED A FILM MADE WITH LOVE ! (FILMING TOOK FOUR YEARS.) I'VE GIVEN THIS DVD AS GIFTS & EVERYONE RAVED! I'VE USED IT TO "ENTERTAIN THE FAMILY" - AGES 3 TO 62. IT IS CLEVER, EDUCATIONAL, HUMOROUS, WONDERFULLY CREATED, SET PERFECTLY TO MUSIC. IT IS EXCEPTIONAL, AND I AM ORDERING ANOTHER COPY TO VIEW IT AGAIN. I NOMINATE IT FOR 7 STARS.
Summary of Animals Are Beautiful People
From the creator of The Gods Must Be Crazy. Away in their own mysterious world, far from the prying eyes of people, Africa's animals lead lives of humor and horror, danger and dignity.On the short list for the "world's toughest place to live" award, Southwest Africa's Namib Desert houses a wealth of intriguing creatures, featured in Jamie Uys's Animals are Beautiful People. As various beasts, bugs, fish, and fowl appear, a soft-spoken narrator pinpoints behaviors that mirror human ones, often inventing whimsical tales meant to inspire chuckles or sighs. A male wart hog, a "homely bachelor," lands a "wife" with a penchant for redecorating his burrow; austere maribou glower like disapproving undertakers; a billowy, nameless fish is called a dizzy blonde. Uys's respect for the harsh lifestyle these creatures endure clearly displays itself amid the comical sound effects and Fantasia-lite melodies that infuse the 90-minute show. The result: a richly informative, beautifully filmed lesson in the power of adaptation and the lush wildlife that inhabits the cradle of civilization. Six years after completing this project, Uys went on to create The Gods Must Be Crazy. (Ages 5 and older) --Liane Thomas
