Animalympics

Commissioned by NBC to air during the broadcast of the 1980 Summer Olympics (though that never happened, of course), this first in an intended two-part spoof of the games features anthropomorphic animals, such as alligator runner Bolt Jenkins, dachshund skier Kurt Wüffner, goat marathoner René Fromage, toucan cliff diver Primo Cabeza, lioness marathoner Kit Mambo, and more. Voiced by Billy Crystal, Gilda Radner, Harry Shearer, Michael Fremer; animators included Brad Bird ("The Incredibles") and Roger Allers ("The Lion King"). 78 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
