My fascination for this film has been ignited once again after almost
15 years. Anybody remember
it?

Animalympics is a Warner Bros. animated movie from 1980 that
parodies the Olympics using animal characters. The film features the voice talents of the amazing Harry Shearer,
Billy “Mike Wazowski” Crystal, and the late Gilda Radner.
Aside from the childhood memories, I
love Animalympics for its creativity, accurate animation, and killer
soundtrack…and the fact that Brad Bird was an animator for the movie is a plus. 
I have yet to
find this animated gem on DVD. Until then, I have it recorded on tape.
If anyone happens to be a fan of
Animalympics, please let me know!

Hmm… It does ring a bell. I’ve heard of it, oh yes; however, I don’t think I’ve seen
it…yet, which is weird, because my family and I are Warner Bros. fanatics. 
Interesting information,
though, PV. 
That was one of
the films of my childhood! The soundtrack was awesome, and it was so cool seeing all
the action. I hear recent TV broadcasts have edited it slightly, because of the Cold War jokes.
With Brad
Bird as an animator, this is another example of earlier interests coming full circle in later interests.
You are
so right, RMS. Family Dog is another example of
that.
And actually Mitch, I didn’t know it was a Warner Bros. movie when I was little because I had
watched it on the Disney Channel (back when it was good). However, they didn’t make the film. That was done by
Lisberger Studios Inc.
