Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe scene with the weaver colony catching fire was staged for storytelling purposes. The filmmakers found a colony that had apparently been abandoned for a very long time and set it alight. The dewdrop was staged in a small frame, and footage of the birds was spliced in.
- GoofsNo actual documentation of the Honeyguide bird leading honey badgers to bee hives is known to exist, although they do this with humans. The "story" in the film is done with editing and a model bird simply being dangled in front of the badger.
- ConnectionsFeatured in American Playhouse: Overdrawn at the Memory Bank (1983)

Oh Joy oh Bliss
The best animal documentary you will ever watch. Funny and exciting. You will love every minute of it. Greatest fun I've had in years.
Do not miss it. A classic in every sense.
