NOTE: THIS FILM IS IN CZECH WITH NO ENGLISH TRANSLATION. Twin boys (Jan Moravkovi, Martin Moravkovi), roughly nine years old, pretend to be one person so that they can stay with a reluctant caretaker, their thought being it is easier to deal with one than two kids. Eventually, the man, who is a veterinarian at the zoo, figures out he is dealing with a duo and then enlists them to help him keep a chimp out of captivity. Our little heroes take it a step further, decide to liberate the entire zoo! A bit hard to follow if you are not familiar with the Czech language, but a rather entertaining children's film that isn't as goofy as it sounds, is instead a sweet tale of friendships between species. Recommended!
Warning (rated NR): brief/moderate nudity; brief/mild violence.
