good back-story, and good acting

Beautiful, moving film.

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

This well-photographed and professionally produced wildlife documentary from 1974 was, without question, one of the most light-hearted and entertaining nature shows that I've seen in quite some time.What made "Animals Are Beautiful People" (AABP, for short) so enjoyable (for me) had a lot to do with it containing narration that had a somewhat comical edge to it - Rather than the usual cut'n'dry commentary that seems to prevail in most documentaries out there.Set in the Namib desert region, along Africa's west coast - The viewer is shown the surprisingly diverse animal-life that exists in this semi-arid territory.From warthogs, to geckos, to baboons, to meerkats, and to much-much more - AABP gives the curios viewer a close-up look at the many dangers that face these creatures, daily, when it comes to hunting and survival.*Note* - This documentary's highlight is, by far, the "intoxicated" animal sequence that you really have to see for yourself.

This is one of the best documentary film I have ever seen. I have watched it for more than 10 times, specially the scene when the animals are drunk and the way they walk back home. This is a film which every body can watch and enjoy it.

One of my favorite nature documentaries. I love it. But there's always one part that bothers me. The Death March of the Baby Pelicans... why? Well, jeez, you would have thought the crew could have gave them a nibble to eat, rather than watch them bake to death in the hot sun. (sigh)

Jamie Uys' sole documentary is beautiful, tragic in places, hilarious in places, and always charming. What it's not is accurate, but that detracts not one whit from its charm.
