I am a huge animal lover; the following list is a collection of my favourite movie/TV animals live, cartoon or CGI.
* Dory – Finding Nemo
Everybody’s favourite Regal Tang. Ellen DeGeneres is marvellous as Dory, a fish suffering from short term memory loss, who helps Marlin find his lost son Nemo before it’s too late. Dory produces some fabulous one liners;
‘He’s lost his son, Fabio’
‘I wish I could speak whale!’
‘E-S-C-A-P-E, its funny it’s spelt just like the word escape’
* Paul Anka – Gilmore Girls
Lorelai Gilmore’s love for the ‘real’ Paul Anka was the motivation for this Polish Lowland Sheepdog’s quirky name. Paul Anka has a penchant for all things weird, he has a habit of getting into locked cars, locking himself in cars, he is scared of shadows and his front porch steps.
* Andre - Andre
The true story of a seal that a befriended a little girl and her family in the 1960’s. Actually a Sea Lion in the movie, after I saw this movie at 8 years old my next pet was going to be a seal.
* Inspector Rex – Inspector Rex
Obviously I’m very biased because I have a German Shepherd, I just love the breed, although mine isn’t as smart as Rex. Rex functions as a Cadaver dog, sniffer dog and as another set of eyes for his team. Basically when watching Inspector Rex, I care more about Rex than his human counterparts.
* Jinxie – Meet the Parents
Robert De Nero’s highly trained/ gifted Himalayan cat. Has the ability of flushing a toilet despite not having opposable thumbs.
* Babe - Babe
The runt of the litter, he is picked and brought to a farmhouse where he is raised by a sheepdog. He has his heart set on becoming a sheep dog himself.
* Lady and the Tramp – Lady and the Tramp
Lady an adorable Cocker Spaniel and Tramp a mutt modelled on a schnauzer, the pair meet, share a dangerous adventure and eventually fall in love. Who can forget the infamous spaghetti scene.
* Willy – Free Willy
The popular movie about a boy befriending an Orca Whale. To save the life of Willy, Jesse devises a plan to release Willy back into the wild. Where in the triumphant scene Willy jumps over the rocks, over his friend to freedom.
