The best video ever made.
This video is absolutely fantastic, it should be shown in theaters everywhere! There's a lot of emotion and meaning in this video, and you can tell the acting is also great. The actor makes a great performance when making clear that he's at the zoo and the elephants have really long trunks.
Just amazing, loved every part of it. 11/10
I really don't have much else to say about this absolutely masterpiece of a video other than it's really amazing. To be quite honest I was done with this review until IMDb said I needed at least 10 lines so here I am typing more stuff. I'm pretty sure it's worth it, this review will surely be very helpful to a lot of people.

Very GOOD!
I like this video a lot because the means of it. He just went into a zoo, filmed a couple of seconds of him describing the place. And it was the first video on YouTube! very good!
Perfect film no doubt about it.
"Me at the Zoo" is a 2005 Si-Fi Horror Story Staring Jawed Karim. I have seen many short films but absolutely none of them can hold a candle to Me at the Zoo. The whole film was very immersive, I felt as if I was in the same zoo as the other characters. The story is well written and easy to understand, perfect for all ages! Also the CGI is incredible, the animals look super realistic. Overall its perfect my only issue is it should have been a feature length film, its too short.
Very well executed
This concept of someone being at the zoo is done to perfection, and really creates a commentary vibe on the state of zoos nowadays. Don't listen to the critics, this short film is very underrated.

Guy in the zoo: All right, so here we are in front of the, uh, elephants, and the cool thing about these guys is that, is that they have really, really, really long, um, trunks, and that's, that's cool, and that's pretty much all there is to say.
