Animalympics is a 1980 animated film produced by Lisberger Studios, that spoofs the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, featuring the voices of Billy Crystal, Gilda Radner, Harry Shearer and Michael Fremer, who also co-wrote the script with director Steven Lisberger as well as editing the dialogue and music tracks and supervising the sound mix.
Animalympics is all about the Animal Olympics Contest where all the animals around the world gather to take part in everything from skiing in North America to the very long marathon race in humid conditions. With lively music provided by Graham Gouldman, the film is very different to other cartoons, being more of a drama-comedy than cartoon. With a turtle hosting the proceedings and a killer whale competing against a sting ray in the swimming competition. Written by Graeme Huggan
