I watched a documentary on the real thing last week. Now that was good.

I won't go because, despite being an animal-lover with four cats, two ponies and four chickens, I can't bear animal films. Even as a child, I couldn't watch them, especially if they talked. No 'Tales Of The Riverbank' or 'Dr Dolitttle' for me. I can't even watch 'Jungle Book'. The animals don't even have to be unhappy or mistreated, I can't even watch happy ones!Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.com
