these were basically binders with various pages about different animals divided up into categories (mammal, amphibian, etc). You would get these pages in the mail, and it gave info about the animal, where it lives, how it behaves, etc.
Ah, the majestic giraffe. This is what we had to turn to before Planet Earth.

The video game of the future! Battlestar Galatica, but set in a zoo.

Was there any toy more practical for a suburban child? I was able to hear a hippo attack a mile away.

What is not to like here? Tom Hanks? A big, slobbery Dogue de Bordeaux (that would be Hooch) that—wait for it—helps solve a crime?! Oh, dog may be man’s best friend, but he is also man’s best costar. This 1989 film performed well at the box office (an attempt at a spin-off television series was even made) depsite later becoming a constant source of jokeage for Mr. Hanks upon becoming more famous.

Though this 1970 Disney film (the first not to be supervised by Mr. Disney) was not a commercial success, it seems that many people still hold the film dear. How could you not? The playful pun of the film’s title? The drugging of adorable cartoon kittens? A kidnapping plot? Cats singing jazz in 1910 France? I like the “scales and arpeggios” scene with the piano-playing cats. Commercial success or not, I’ll take my Aristocats over Disney’s Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Singing animals are not always a pleasure to watch.
