Movie: Lion, London Zoological Gardens

  • HomePage

  • Overview

    A male lion, right next to bars that are about 6 or 8 inches apart, keenly watches a uniformed zoo attendant toss small morsels of food into the cage. The lion alternates between finding the food on the cage floor and reaching through the bars to swipe at the man, who stays alarmingly close to the beast. In the background are the large rocks and brick wall at the back of the lion's habitat.

The road is a perilous place, in part because there are so many jerks behind the wheel. As the narrator informs us, "Do anything you can to rid yourself of schoolboy competitiveness...driving in today's traffic is not for children. Fortunately, even the most infantile personalities among drivers are being cured of an inclination to view being passed as a challenge to their imaginary superiority." Alas, there remain plenty of hotshots, blind spots and other dangers that this live action educational short from the National Safety Council and Pilot Productions duly illustrates, then instructs us how to avoid them. - Dennis Harvey
