Hippo Director's Zoo Diary
Aging zoo keeper Nishiyama Toshio acquires two young trainees: short-tempered former chef Takeshi Ishizawa and gentle vet Ichiro Hasegawa. Both are surprised by the difficulties they face in a deceptively easy job but persevere through troubles such as an escaped pelican, a dying camel, and the birth of a hippo.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Hippo Director's Zoo Diary is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.
Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.
A classic from 1981. They don't make them like this anymore — which is exactly why you should watch it. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
