Hilarious documentary on the wildlife of the Namib Desert.

| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusNotwithstanding the excessive cuteness of the anthropomorphizing title… an entertaining, original documentary about life in the harsh conditions of southwest Africa's Namib Desert… makes fine family viewing. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeOften too cute for its own good, but overall such a pleasant change of pace from the usual documentary that it's a film worth seeing. |
| User ReviewBratislav Mi absolutely loved it as i were a kid. i forgot its name and saw it accidentally on telly this evening. it is still perfect, and i still love it! |
| User ReviewTony PThis is a great great film - animal documentary with some clever editing. The scenes when the animals get drunk after eating fermenting marula fruit is so funny. I watched it so many times when I was little - now I've just managed to get it on DVD after searching for ages. Looking forward to reliving the magic again! I cannot stress how worth seeing this film is. |
| User ReviewPrivate Uunder the right influence, this film is adorable. sober, its fucking funny as hell |
| User ReviewJesse TThis movie never fails to make me laugh... especially when all animals got drunk. So hilarious, it gives me stomachache from laughing too much. :D |
| User ReviewTimo LEvery year, towards the end of the school year, when the curriculum was done, our teachers had us watch this movie. And I loved it every time and still do. |
| User ReviewScott CA fantastic mix of documentary and subtle comedy. From 1975 and still holds up. Great fun! Baboons are madmen. |
| User ReviewMadwolfie CBest documentary I've ever seen :) well, because it's humorous and I can watch it time and time again without getting bored! The music is also very much well matched! :) Glad my dad got me to watch this :) A MUST watch! :) (the creators of "God Must Be Crazy" coincidentally) :) |
| User ReviewNate MIncredible photography of moments they were amazingly fortunate to be close enough to capture and to be there at the right moment to witness it. It's funny, cute, sad, and then happy again. By far the best nature documentary ever made and appealing not just to fans of nature documentaries. |
