Awesome Movie

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

It was brilliant because it allowed the wackiness to be carried through without any flaws committed by poor writing. Totally magic! The pace of the writing was fresh, and given the potential that such a large canvas might cause the writers to fall down a hole, the characters lively interaction carried the basic premise (that is totally wacky) in an engaging way.At the same time you might be feeling pity on the animals, laughing with them, laughing at them, and rooting for them all at the same time. Magic!

I saw the first episode of this when it was shown on the BBC and I didn't really enjoy it. But my best friend has the DVD and she wanted to watch a couple of episodes, so starting at episode 2 we watched the whole series.It's brilliant - I didn't appreciate the humour (subtle and not so subtle) of the characters. The animation is outstanding - during 'Beigey' and her behaviour at the dinner party I actually forgot that I was watching a load of animals - the characters are so beautifully put together that they are complex and three-dimensional.Brilliant. I'm off to buy myself the DVD now!

Just had to write a review, having seen the hostile/lukewarm considerations received so far. "I Am Not an Animal" is the best comedy show seen on the BBC for a long time, and I urge everyone to catch it when it's repeated. Mark the Bird is the most wittily observed of the main characters, his weary cynicism brilliantly played off against his belief in himself as a constantly thwarted singer-songwriter; Philip the Horse boasts superb voice acting from the ludicrously multi-talented Steve Coogan; and Winona the Dog provides the most cringeworthy pretensions of all the would-be human animals. The series is original, weird, observationally sublime and different to just about every other show out there at the moment. What it doesn't do is provide viewers with one of the two default options of British comedy: the whacky, light-hearted families of Butterflies and As Time Goes By or the ruthless, cruel parody of Alan Partridge and The League of Gentlemen (not that there's anything wrong with the latter). Highly recommended.

I saw this on the day it was released, and i couldn't help myself laughing! I thought it was terrific, the animation was both cheesy and clever. The acting was over the top but very funny and the characters were so goofy they made the show ace!But for someone to like it they would have to like silly humour because thats what this show is. It is about a group of animals who have been experimented on and they believe they are from the past when animals were rulers of the planet, as they wander the country trying to find a place to rest the, scientists fear that they might reveal the secrets of the testing sight. Having created a half cat half gorilla killing machine they send him out to capture the animals,hilarity ensues, thats basically it.7/10!!!!!
