There's a great jazz soundtrack to this observational documentary set in a zoo. People milling around watching the animals that are in turn watching them. People knit, they draw, they chat - as do the parrots. Monkeys, penguins, zebras etc. are just as unaware of the camera as the children with the expressive faces and their parents. How alike they sometimes are! I'm not so sure I'd get so near these birds though - they could attack from either end! A tabby cat gets perilously close to the tiger enclosure and a crowd quickly gather round... Phew! The day moves along and the humans start to yawn, get tired and fractious; the animals still seemingly oblivious as if it is the people in the cages. The score and the editing make this an entertaining look at how things relax - us and them. There's some humourous photography, a teeny bit of science and some sunshine before the sense of inevitability creeps in. Everyone must go home, but some will definately be there tomorrow.
