Animal shows are usually fun, and this one is better than most. An arkful of animals are the stars here, and the tricks (or behaviors) they perform are loosely based on shows from the cable network: Emergency Vets, Planet's Funniest Animals, and The Jeff Corwin Experience. A raccoon opens the show, and Lassie makes a brief appearance, followed by an audience-participation segment in the clever, funny, and cute Dog Decathlon. Next, Gizmo the parrot from Ace Ventura: Pet Detective arrives to fly in front of a wind machine and blue screen, the televised image showing him soaring across a desert, a forest, and then in outer space. In the grand finale Bailey the orangutan does some impressions (how an ape does Ricky Martin is a mystery), then there's an overpoweringly adorable chimpanzee and, finally, a brief peek at a boa constrictor. If your family loves animals, then this is an entertaining show that shouldn't be missed.
