In 2003 multiple seasons of 10 minute programmes in the style of the original film were made and received a reasonable reception. Most of the comedy came from the careful choice of animal and location, leading to a philosophical amoeba talking about "how we are all just bags of water really" or an alligator praising her local neighbourhood (a sewer) and denying she had a damp problem.

Originally a 5 minute film by Creator/AardmanAnimations of WesternAnimation/WallaceAndGromit fame made in 1989 as a twist on the ''[[VoxPops man in the street]]'' style of interview. Here the "men" in the street were animated as animals using claymation. Members of the public were asked what they thought about the living conditions of animals in the zoo, and of their own living conditions and then animated as zoo animals, leading to some rather amusing juxtaposition between the lines and the situation.
