Description
There's a tiger in your tabby! And a wolf in Fido's clothing! So says Spin, National Geographic's animated globe-on-the-go. In a whirlwind, worldwide adventure, he's out to prove that our tame house pets have some really rowdy relatives. Spin checks in with South American jaguars, African wild dogs and lions, and North American cougars and coyotes, proving that all cats and dogs are wild at heart. Awesome animal footage and rocking music videos mix the wild with the mild, and show what's behind Rover's growl and Fluffy's meow. So if you've ever wondered what makes all dogs so doggone doggy, and why furry felines can feel ferocious, HOT DOGS & COOL CATS is for you! It's just one of the many Really Wild Animals adventures in this award-winning series.

The ties between domestic cats and dogs and their wild counterparts are what bind these two programs on one video. To learn why Fido fights and puppies play, Spin--the animated planet guide voiced by Dudley Moore--introduces viewers to wolves, coyotes, African wild dogs, and a bat-eared fox. When Spin isn't drawing comparisons between pet dogs and their ancestors, viewers are treated to specially written pop songs such as "Hey Dog," in which dogs howl the chorus. There's a moving segment featuring a working dog's relationship with the disabled boy he assists. Cats get similar treatment (minus the part about helping people) with Tabby's hunting, clawing, and rubbing habits compared to those of lions, tigers, and other big cats. There are the usual jokes about who owns whom when it comes to the pet cat, and the unavoidable footage of African cats turning wildebeest into breakfast. Gore is kept to a minimum, making this 44-minute installment of the National Geographic kid series appropriate for animal lovers from preschool on up. --Kimberly Heinrichs
