Victoria is a poor singer who struggles to make ends meet in 1930s Paris. When she meets Carroll Todd, a gay nightclub performer, he suggests she pretends to be a male drag queen to get work. Victoria is initially hesitant but eventually agrees and transforms herself into Count Victor Grazinski. She becomes a hit at the nightclub, and her success attracts the attention of King Marchand, a wealthy businessman who falls in love with "Victor." Meanwhile, Todd has fallen in love with Victoria and becomes jealous of Marchand's affections towards her male persona.

The film explores themes of gender identity, sexuality, and relationships through its musical numbers and comedic situations. It received critical acclaim upon its release, with particular praise for Julie Andrews' performance as Victoria/Victor. The film was also nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Original Song Score and Best Original Screenplay, and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score.

Undoubtfully, cinematography has been my passion since a very young age. Even now, watching a new movie or series always prompts me to ask a lot of questions to the author. Thus, every little essay about a title is definitely not a spoiler, but rather an attempt to explore the idea.

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.
