This movie was suprisingly good; there's an original idea (animated Olympics, "as-seen on TV"), some great jokes and some brilliant animation (mostly near the beginning). The songs are pretty good too!
It's a funny little movie that derseves some more recognition (and maybe an updated sequel). I'd definitley recommend this movie. And until someone releases this DVD, the whole movie is available on YouTube. -

Like most people who at all rate this film, I've loved Animalympics since my childhood. It has become something of a mythical film for me because I've never found it on DVD. At least, until 2007: its been released in Germany (where its called Die Dschungel-Olympiade). Probably the main three things of note are that it features Billy Crystal's voice talents, music from Graham Gouldman (of 10cc fame) and the director was the same guy who did Tron, Steven Lisberger. The interview with him (looking very hirsute) on the DVD is pretty cool, as it reveals just how much work went into the film, not to mention skill (Lisberger frequently laments how pen and ink is a lost skill in todays world of digitally enhanced animation). The songs are just as great as I remember, and the animation remains beautiful. Would be interesting to know would might have happened if the Olympics hadn't been boycotted that year: this could have been a big success. As it was, its become more of a cult film than an aging blockbuster.

MCT:June 9, 2007So many animal puns... But some are actually fairly clever.
The animation is fun and simple, and the story (well, not exactly a story, but a bunch of sports-based vignettes) is pretty well done with a fun little concept. "Love's Not For Me" is also one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in a film.
