Comedies about animals are very fond of small viewers. They are often watched by the whole family. American funny and a bit sad film of 2011 "We Bought a Zoo" was filmed according to the original script. The real story of his life was described first in an article, and then in a book by the participant in the events himself, the English journalist Benjamin Mee, in order to draw public attention to his own problems.

The plot is that, by purchasing a house in the southwest of Britain, in Devonshire, Ket and Benjamin Mee received a small provincial zoo in addition. The state refused to finance it. Taking pity on the animals, the family took all the trouble upon themselves, completely unaware of what awaits them. Just before the opening of the menagerie, Ket's mother, wife and faithful assistant dies (in the film, this happens even before the move). Benjamin is left alone with his young son, daughter and zoo (200 animals). The son's name is Milo (in the film Dylan), he was then six years old (he is 14 in the film), the daughter is Ella (Rosie), she was 4years (she is 7 in the film). The scene was also changed - it was moved to America, to California.

Losing Ket left Mi's family orphaned, but dad didn't give up. He tried for two, the children helped him, because they, in the truest sense of the word, lived in a zoo and felt responsible for everyone they tamed. Taking care of animals saved all the members of the little brotherhood from severe depression.

But the battle for survival was not easy. Benjamin took loans from banks and began to treat animals, restore enclosures and equip the zoo so that tourists could be invited. To cover the costs, 600,000 visitors were to visit the zoo during the year.

But suddenly the crisis broke out in the economy, and the banks demanded to return the money. It was then that Mi remembered that he was not only a dad and a zoo owner, but also a journalist. Benjamin didn't think about a movie, a comedy about animals. He wrote an article first, and then a real big story about how it all began in order to attract the attention of people, public organizations, investors and get funds. He really wanted to save his brainchild, which became the most important thing in life for his family and staff.

It turned out even better than he expected. Hoping only for a newspaper column where a journalist wanted to talk about the affairs of his menagerie, he wrote the script for an animal comedy, the story for an entire Hollywood movie. It was released to the screens of the world and was shown with great success during 2011-2012. Therefore, as you can see, comedies are aboutanimals can be of real benefit. According to the agreement, the Mi family was to receive 5% of all box office receipts for the maintenance of their park. Therefore, the more viewers came to the cinema, the better they fed the animals.

Comedies about animals (their list is constantly updated) never leave the audience indifferent. And this film also inspires energy, teaches that everyone's efforts are never in vain, and work for a common cause will certainly bear fruit.

Let the childhood of real heroes - Ella and Milo - not be completely carefree, they have no time to play on a computer console and run with their peers - they need to feed the animals, but they will definitely grow up to be kind, sympathetic and responsible people. To get such good results, you do not need to spend a lot of pedagogical effort, you just need to buy a zoo!
