Animals Are Beautiful People (1974)

Far from the prying eyes of people, the animals of Africa's southern deserts lead lives of humor and horror, danger and dignity. Sometimes they're simply all too...human. The Gods Must Be Crazy creator Jamie Uys worked four years and traveled 100,000 miles to shoot this wry look at animal behavior, capturing dozens of remarkable, startling and funny scenes. Like that of a mother fish swallowing her young while a predator lurks nearby-and spitting them out when all is clear. And the "drunken" results of some elephants, baboons, kudus and warthogs gorging on well-fermented Marula tree berries. 'Animals Are Beautiful People' delivers rare pleasure-and the whimsical shock of recognition!
