Review of Cane Toads: An Unnatural History (1988) by Matt M — 14 Jan 2013

Who could have thought a nature documentary about an environmental problem could have been so entertaining and such a rare treat. That is mostly because Lewis in making this documentary defies what are the conventionalities of its genre by telling of the true invasion of sex mad toads across Australia.

To do so, he makes good use of facts but also entertaining recreations as well as a refreshingly comedic approach that makes an otherwise boring theme universally accessible and appealing.
