STORYLINE

DID YOU KNOW
Edit
* Trivia
When Matt Damon's character climbs over the tree the real Benjamin Mee, Milo
Mee (Dylan in the movie) and Ella Mee (Rosie in the movie) can be seen as the
first family in line. In the scene, Benjamin Mee is wearing what appears to
be a Dartmoor Zoological Park cap, which is the actual zoo in England on
which the movie is based.
* Goofs
The zoo opens on July 7, 2010 but when we see Benjamin Mee holding papers in
the car when they go house hunting, in all the papers of the house listings,
the date is Jan 3,2011.
* Quotes
Benjamin Mee: You know, sometimes all you need is twenty seconds of insane
courage. Just literally twenty seconds of just embarrassing bravery. And I
promise you, something great will come of it.
* Alternate versions
The North America DVD includes an alternate audio track that removes the
swearing.

Featured in The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: Episode #20.46 (2011)

Film Clips Don't Do This Movie Justice
We Bought A Zoo is a heart-warming, fun movie. The casting is a good as you
could wish for and if I had to choose, I'd pick this as my favorite Matt Damon
film. For anyone who loves animals, and I have to confess I'm about head of the
line as one of them, this is a marvelous picture with not only the people
personalities shining forth, but so too the animals. In most cases, we all know
that the brief film clips shown prior to the movie are supposed to be showing
the best of the picture. In this case, that is far from the truth. I almost
passed this delightful movie up because all I could think of was, if this is the
best there is...I don't think so. I'm so glad I opted to see it in spite of my
reservations. Who ever picked the preview clips should be fired...or retrained,
perhaps, because what they went with most certainly didn't do this movie
justice. Not even close. It's a really enjoyable movie and I'd recommend it to
everyone.
