Animalympics (1980)


Warner Bros.
Directed by Steven Lisberger
My rating: 3 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(DVD, Hen's Tooth Video)

Satire of a television network broadcast of the Olympics featuring an all-animal cast. A product of its time, the 1970s, so unless you were there many of the references will be missed. Gilda Radner is great as usual, particularly her "Barbra Warblers" character (Barbra Walters), as is Harry Shearer as "Keen Hacksaw" (Keith Jackson). It's all in good fun, quite colorful and very entertaining.
