Genre: Comedy Release Date: 24 January 1997 Director: Fred Schepisi, Robert Young Stars: John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline Storyline: A massive
corporate conglomerate, Octopus Inc., run by a shrewd and cruel tycoon
named Rod McCain, purchases a UK-based leisure company, and also the
failing London Marwood Zoo. To bring more business to the zoo, Octopus
hires a new manager, Rollo Lee, who promptly comes up with a way to
increase profits-do away with all the animals except for the ferocious
ones. This new Fierce Creatures Policy shocks the Marwood zookeepers,
led by the unendingly talkative Adrian “Bugsy” Malone. Eventually, Rod
McCain’s son Vince, along with the up-and-coming business executive
Willa Weston, take control of the zoo and revoke the Fierce Creatures
Policy. Vince instead comes up with many under-handed and vicious
schemes to attract customers-unauthorized celebrity endorsements,
shoddy, overpriced zoo merchandise, and using robotic animals instead of
real ones. However, Vince is also stealing from the zoo’s funds…
