| Zusammenfassung: | Cane Toads - An Unnatural History (1987): Optimistically imported into Australia to curb the destructive sugar cane beetle in 1935 - 'Now we've got these cane grubs by the balls!' - the cane toad proved useless. Worse, it bred at an astonishing rate, choked the billabongs, ate everything including ping-pong balls, emitted toxins to the touch, and possessed a sex drive so strong that it would mate with mud. 'They're a bit of a rough bunch', comments one of the numerous and hilarious interviewees. But in some areas of Queensland, the cane toad is regarded with reverence and even affection - 'They're mates' - and statues have been erected to the warty oversized amphibian. Little girls put little frocks on them and put them in little beds; junkies smoke them and hallucinate; a citizen impersonated one on the highway and was fined. The most curious nature film since "The Hellstrom Chronicle". [www.timeout.com] The Natural History of the Chicken (2000): In a collection of stories, ranging from the serious to the bizarre, Lewis charts the relationships we enjoy with our feathered farmyard friends ... Lewis handles the documentary with a lightness of touch, allowing the intercutting of various hen homages to speak for themselves. It is left for the audience to decide whether living as a free-range chuck and being killed by the farmer for his family is, ultimately, a better life than living in a cage with six companions and watching your eggs speed away on a conveyor belt.
