There's a great sequence with trees with rotting fruit on them in the Kalahari (I think), and the animals from elephants to monkeys go wild. The hangover scene might be staged, but it's great anyway. Where I grew up in NJ we had a large back yard, with a huge pyrochantha bush row along it. Beautiful orange berries, inedible by us of course, and for the most part untouched by the birds except during droughts. And then there was that time when there was a late frost in April, and somehow the berries fermented on the bushes. The birds went wild, scarfing up these berries like crazy. And they got drunker than one can imagine birds being. I was late to school because we were laughing our asses off looking out the window at the birds swaying in the wind, like Charlie Chaplin's performance in "The Cure" (no, he never played with Robert Smith!). The next day it was very quiet to say the least. :) Steve Goodman EarthLight Productions * http://www.earthlight.net/Other - Quasi-daily Cartoon http://www.earthlight.net/HiddenTrack - Cartoons via Medialine!
