There’s some hocus pocus going on and Mystery Inc. is on the case, at G-force speed. Round up the stray dogs, dancing cats, showbiz crocs and chatty ravens because we have one question: what doest thou want? To talk to humans, of course! This Showdown takes an incredible journey into the world of inter-species communication. From asshole bugs to Narnian lions, the only rule is that animals must communicate with humans in human languages, whether telepathically or verbally. Counted: humans who’ve been turned into animals; animated films in which humans and animals communicate. Not counted: films in which animals only talk to each other within their own animal worlds (sorry, Babe). Are you hot to trot? Now let’s split up, gang! Guide thy hand to thouest Letterboxd list, and tell us your ten favorite talking-animal movies.
