The same director did the Gods must be crazy part I and II - really very funny films. The documentary itself is very well done with a lot of funny gags and interesting facts about animals. As to the drunk elefants - i doubt that it was staged... how would one convince an number of animals to loiter about under a tree.. not to mention if one actually tasted the marula "drink" you would know that it could probably bring down the biggest of drinkers :d Brings back memories – watched that film (Animals Are Beautiful People by Jamie Uys – although i seem to recall it was called Capricorn’s Beautiful People) when i lived in Botswana over 20 years ago.

I was at the travel Indaba in Durban last month and this topic came up twice at separate cocktail parties. I read somewhere that Nat Geo proved it wasn\'t possible but i still love it. Here\'s something that I wrote on the topic as well: <a href=\"http://budurl.com/swku\"> http://budurl.com/swku </a>. This is hilarious.

Unfortunately that means the filmmakers likely did something untoward to these poor animals, so it's actually not funny at all.
