Review of Animals Are Beautiful People (1974) by Tanya K — 20 Apr 2009

The creators of 'The Gods Must be Crazy' offer quite possibly one of the most original and hilarious wildlife documentaries ever put to film. This little gem will make you laugh, cry and wonder at the creatures of the Namib Desert as it compares their behaviour to humans even to the point of getting drunk and dealing with hangovers.

Classical music provides a soothing backdrop to the unexpected and unusual predicaments the animals are shown in, some of which has rarely been seen before. This is great film for the whole family but before you settle down, it might not be a bad idea to throw out any fermenting fruit!
