My 5 favourite animal movies!
1. Babe (1996) A perfect animal pic. Cute? Yes. Funny? Definately. But with an underlying darkness to it that all great kids movies should have (Babe 2 went even darker). Great FX too - you'll believe a pig can talk.
2. Best In Show (2000) From the team that made rock spoof This Is Spinal Tap, comes a cheeky 'mockumentary' about the world of dog shows. Hilarious, improvised genius.
3. March Of The Penguins (2005) That a camera crew managed to get this close is special enough. That they can make us care about a penguin love story is even better. With spine-tingling narration from Morgan Freeman.
4. King Kong (2005) There's been a few versions of this big monkey tale but Peter Jackson's most recent made you care more than ever by getting, dare I say it, romantic. Breathtaking.
5. Turner & Hooch (1989) A young Tom Hanks plays it briiliantly nerdy alongside a slobbering Dogue de Bordeaux in this genuinely funny cop thriller.
