I Am Not an Animal (Season 1)

I Am Not an Animal (2004) is an animated comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. There are exactly six talking animals in the world, and all of them grew up pampered inside a vivisection lab, fed fine wine and kept blissfully clueless about how life actually works.

That cosy bubble bursts the day animal rights activists break in and set them loose. The trouble is that this crowd of precious creatures is hopelessly unfit for the real world: they fuss over etiquette, cling to their airs and recoil from the grime just beyond the gate. The voice cast is a who's who of British comedy, with Steve Coogan, Julia Davis and Simon Pegg, while Borat co-writer Peter Baynham handles the scripts and direction.

This is concentrated British absurdism: six short episodes, pitch-black jokes and a deliberately ugly, unlike-anything art style. It will land for anyone who loves the feral satire of Chris Morris. Stream I Am Not an Animal (2004) online on iFILM.
