This well-photographed and professionally produced wildlife documentary from 1974 was, without question, one of the most light-hearted and entertaining nature shows that I've seen in quite some time.
What made "Animals Are Beautiful People" (AABP, for short) so enjoyable (for me) had a lot to do with it containing narration that had a somewhat comical edge to it - Rather than the usual cut'n'dry commentary that seems to prevail in most documentaries out there.
Set in the Namib desert region, along Africa's west coast - The viewer is shown the surprisingly diverse animal-life that exists in this semi-arid territory.
From warthogs, to geckos, to baboons, to meerkats, and to much-much more - AABP gives the curios viewer a close-up look at the many dangers that face these creatures, daily, when it comes to hunting and survival.
*Note* - This documentary's highlight is, by far, the "intoxicated" animal sequence that you really have to see for yourself.
