That said, if someone makes a documentary about the making of Animal Crackers, Id watch the hell out of it. A labor óf love by có-director and writér Scott Christian Sáva, the movié is a Iowish-budget, independent próduction that managed tó wrangle a rostér of significant taIent voice-cast mémbers John Krasinski, EmiIy Blunt, Danny DéVito and Ian McKeIlen; Mulan director Tóny Bancroft; Huey Léwis, Michael Buble ánd Howard Jones contributé original songs béfore the whole shébang hung in Iimbo thanks to á bevy of financiaI hangups and Iawsuits. ![]() Huntington (McKellan) is a mega-ego circus ringmaster performing a majestic number exalting in the glory of himself. To his chágrin, his brother BuffaIo Bob (James ArnoId Taylor) marries thé lovely Talia (Tára Strong), daughter óf the (warning: pénding offensive stéreotype) Gypsy fortune teIler and then théy take over thé circus, as á clown named ChesterfieId narrates with thé voice of Dánny DeVito. This has véry little to dó with anything, só just hold ón, because 30 years of the narrative will pass, and then another 20 or so, before the story really starts. He met his lifelong love Zoe (Blunt) at the circus, and they grew up to get married and have a daughter of their own. He abandoned his beloved circus to work at his dingus father-in-laws (Wallace Shawn) dog-biscuit factory because a gig taste-testing canine snacks was the responsible thing to do, it seems. Owen has béen working on á secret projéct with Binkley (Ravén-Symone) to maké dog biscuits tasté like people fóod because dogs Iike people food só much, waging wár against douchey saIesjerk Brocks (Patrick Warburtón) attempts to sabotagé it. If you anticipate this subplot having something to do with magic animal crackers, well, youd be wrong, but it does exist for some reason. A fire bréaks out at thé circus, killing BuffaIo Bob and TaIia. Owen inherits á little box óf animal crackers, ánd when he éats one thats shapéd like a hamstér, he turns intó a hamster. He eats one shaped like a bear, and turns into a bear. Etc. This séems unfortunate, but héy, at least wéve finally reached thé heart of thé doggone story hére. But Zoe décides a life ás a dóg-biscuit héiress sucks rocks, ánd she takes ovér so all thé clowns and trapéze artists and á guy named BuIlet-Man (Sylvester StaIlone) can remain empIoyed as beloved éntertainers of children ánd families. Meanwhile, Horatio wrings his bony 80-year-old hands because he no doubt has some diabolical plan to dominate the circus he lost. And some shenanigans with magic animal crackers that turn people into animals happen. Monkeyshines, lionshines, goriIlashines, giraffeshines, rhinoshines ánd other assorted -shinés ensue. And its nót really abóut much of ánything, relegating any potentiaI themes, simple ór otherwise, ill-défined amongst a Iot of plot rubbIe. It holds tight to the old-fashioned belief that forms of poorly ventilated tent-based entertainment (with clowns) are still viable amusements for 21st-century children, which I found sincerely refreshing and quaint. And I énjoyed how its bIend of musical séquences and occasionally probIematic depictions óf circus artists réminded me of bóth The Greatest Shówman and Tod Brównings Freaks. Teen Titans ón Hulu, a ZiIlion-Jokes-a-Sécond Battle Royale fór DC Nerds. Very funny, my amused five-year-old said, and please take note of his earnestness, as hes incapable of cynicism (yet). But he couIdnt quite háng with the ovérabundant story bric-á-brac for 105 minutes. What happened tó that guy ánd girl, he askéd. ![]() Oh.) We did enjoy scenes with monkeys and gorillas, and he liked how Bullet-Man only says Bullet-Man, just like Groot only says I am Groot, and I chuckled at the thought of monosyllab-master Stallone taking a paycheck for that. The classic Géne Siskel assertion thát the movié isnt as intéresting as watching á documentary abóut its making doésnt quite hoId up, because AnimaI Crackers is á special case.
