Description

"The Kid" is a silent film from 1921, written, directed, produced and starring Charlie Chaplin. The film tells the story of a single mother who abandons her newborn child, which is later discovered by Chaplin's character, the Tramp. He decides to take care of the baby, raising him as his own son. When the child is around five years old, the mother returns and tries to reclaim her son, but the Tramp fights to keep the child in his care.

"The Kid" was a commercial and critical success, and it is still regarded as one of Chaplin's finest films. The film's themes of poverty, parenthood, and the human condition still resonate with audiences today. The film also marked the debut of child actor Jackie Coogan, who played the young boy.

"The Kid" was Chaplin's first full-length feature, and it cemented his status as one of the greatest filmmakers of the silent era. The film's blend of comedy and drama was revolutionary for its time, and it influenced countless filmmakers who came after Chaplin. Today, "The Kid" is considered a classic of early cinema and an important piece of film history.

Zookeeper immediately deserves nomination for the "Cute" Hall of Fame. Or "precious" or "adorable" or one of those ever so warm and friendly adjectives that describe both people and animals you just want to hug with all your might. You must understand that the animals star in Zookeeper, and the people are the supporting cast. Naturally teddy-bearish Kevin James stars as Griffin Keyes, long-time zookeeper who doesn't get out much. More at home with his critters than members of his own species, the zookeeper bravely resolves to leave the zoo and venture out into the bigger world, where he hopes, naturally enough, he can get a life and get a girl. When the animals ferret-out Griffin's plan, they feel so desperately heart-broken they elect to break their "code of silence," revealing not only that they can talk but also that they have quite a bit to say on questions of love, romance, and mating. Rosario Dawson plays Kate, "the girl." The animals, of course, conspire to help their boy win the girl and to keep their happy family together. Seriously, how cute is that!"Zookeeper features an exceptionally high-powered collection of voice talents: Adam Sandler plays a Capuchin monkey, Cher appropriately plays a lioness opposite Sylvester Stallone's lion, Billy Crystal plays a llama, and the venerable Don Rickles gives us his very best frog. And that's just the headliners. Zookeeper also has the strange distinction of going into the film history books as the last movie MGM studios wrapped before it went into bankruptcy. That part isn't cute—just quirky.
