I think since I co-wrote this animated film

I think since I co-wrote this animated film and did many voices on it, my name should be included in the voice over credits! What do you think?

It might not have much of a plot

It might not have much of a plot and, let's face it, would not be made today given all the ethnic stereotypes on display but the good animation, great comedic timing, nice songs and solid voice acting (hard to believe there were only four VAs) make Animalympics a fairly solid made-for-TV animated movie that's worth watching solely for the sheer number of recognisable names if you're an animation enthusiast. Not only is it from the director of the groundbreaking Tron but it also has one of two of the future directors of The Lion King and, in one of the earliest projects he worked on, Brad Bird as two of the credited animators, just to name a few people. It's honestly the future talent that was involved that makes Animalympics fun to watch. It's not a masterpiece and I think the thematically similar Surf's Up* handled this unique structure better but it's still a fun parody of the Olympics in its own right. *An animated sports comedy presented in an unconventional narrative structure as if what we're seeing is actually happening. Surf's Up is closer to a documentary than Animalympics but I did get similar vibes to SPA's first of only three Oscar-nominated movies when I was watching the directorial debut of the guy who made Tron.
