Featured review
Ok but out of date & silly
This is not a good movie but the central idea of treating animals humanely is ok for a movie from the 60s. It wasn't then & still isn't a common subject for a movie. I do not know how well the caged animals were treated during filming. I hope it was w/ great care & they were confined for a very limited time. But it's important to know awful zoos, like the once shown in the movie, we're common & sadly still exist in the world today. I have mixed feelings about zoos. No wild animal should be confined to a zoo but then again, zoos have also saved some animals from extinction, caused by man. If you can look beyond the silliness and see the beauty of these animals, I sort of recommend it. Children would be the best audience but a parent or guardian should be there to point out what's not acceptable in human behavior, how all animals must be treated humanely & wild animals should never be pets. They are not to be poached or hunted for any reason, especially for trophies. So it's a so-so recommendation w/ reservations.
