This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
Purely Joyful Movie!
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Not much happens in this short, 24 second-long, animation. The introduction reads: "Teddy's arrival caused some commotion in the Jungle..." This cuts to a scene of various animals up in a tree, and a monkey standing below, looking off into the distance. As the dot on the horizon comes closer, the monkey realizes who the person is, panics, and runs up the tree to join the other animals. Then the person gets closer and is revealed to be a caricature of Teddy Roosevelt, with rifle in hand. That's it.About the only interesting part of the animation is the caricature, which looks much like others of TR.
