Pollution has left the ozone layer severely depleted, and we all know what that means: eagles start commanding mountain lions to attack hapless campers! It's basic science people!

Day of the Animals has a premise that will be familiar to anyone who's ever mispronounced the word 'solrpnls.' But it has one thing going for it that Birdemic does not: shirtless Leslie Nielsen. Frank Drebin himself descends into madness as members of his expedition are picked off one by one by vicious wolves, hungry bears, and ground squirrels that make a sort of annoying screeching sound. Eventually he removes his shirt and beats up a kid. We've all been there.

A film that saw the glut of 70s ensemble disaster movies and thought "I could do that for way cheaper!" Day of the Animals is guaranteed to delight both fans of animals and twenty four hour intervals of the earth's rotation. Pull up a chair alongside Mike, Kevin, Bill, and a bunch of spruce bark beetles in a trench coat!

The trailer had me at "shirtless Leslie Nielson fighting a bear"

I actually saw this when it aired on TV back in the day (I'm pretty sure it was made back in the day of made for cable movies) Enjoyed it when I was whatever single digit age I was. I doubt if it has aged well.

Maybe we'll get to see, 'The Last Dinosaur' with Richard Boone as well. Nothing like a guy that was showing up drunk every day on the set portraying an aging drunk on the screen. 

And oh yes, horrible dinosaur effects. And a side kick that goes around with one spear, and manages to throw it into a three inch wide sapling instead of the 50 foot dinosaur next to it.

Wow, the spiritual predecessor to both The Happening and Birdemic. I am in awe.

It probably ran on cable but it was a theatrical release.
