I really like this movie. It's humor is right up my alley. Dark and oblique at times but mostly straightforward and down to earth. The music, the animals, the characters, the acting. It all works for me, and the story ultimately tells of how you can't judge a book by its cover and that, if you do so judge, you will miss some of the best that human beings can offer. Five stars. No BS here, no pretense. A simple story, really, told straight.
