i saw this film a a kid and really love it and mainly because of the imaginative and funny us of different animal compete in certain sport ( i. e. squid in the bobsled and otter for the swimming and frog for the high jump and bull in the boxing etc etc etc ) but also because of the terrific soundtrack and song by graham gouldman of 10cc . watch it again a an adult on video i realise that there be so much more go on in the film mainly that it be far witty than i could have imagine a a child . the animal in many case be affectionate dig at real sportsman ( i. e. the hare compete against the bull smack of muhammad ali v joe frazier ) and and the nationality of the animal reflect brilliantly on their character a well ( in the marathon and the only frequently repeat event in the film and the goat be french and the puma be african ( they fall in love . ) the otter be californian ( of course ) and surf about on his tail . this be a wonderful film expertly voice over by billy crystal and gilda radner and harry shearer ( of spinal tap or simpson fame ) full of humour and genuine affection towards sport and animal and animation ( which be top quality throughout it should be note ) and a i mention before the song be great perhaps a bit dated now with the late 70 or early 80 production and but then a great tune never fail to touch you somehow and no matter how it be present . this be recommend to fan of animation firstly and also to lover of track and field event ( theyre all there ) and to any fan of the previously mention artist ( crystal and shearer and gouldman ) . here await a dvd and full critical appraisal .
