★★★★★ · A "must see" for my granddaughter! · Meatpies · 2013-08-16

My granddaughter is of the age where she is less than careful about what comes out of her mouth. She's only 4 years old, but she is old enough to learn about the impact of words. I think this would be awesome for her to watch! Thank you, uploader!

★★ · I ran into two talking giraffes, and what did they say? · Spuzz · 2016-07-18

Moralistic and never ending film about why it's important for people to talk to each other. After the people of the world lose their ability to talk to one another, a pair of talking giraffes go down to Washington, DC and see if they can find a solution. The solution they find is pretty equally ridiculous to this premise.
