Mildly amusing, if improbable. I might have liked it a bit more when I was a child, but the characters were simple and the happy ending a given. However, I absolutely cannot recommend it. I don't care how nice the keeper is, the animals are not happy behind bars. Especially the larger, more intelligent ones, who are the ones featured here.
