I Am Not an Animal (BBC-2 2004, Simon Pegg, Steve Coogan)

I Am Not An Animal is a rather weirdly animated comedy series about the only six talking animals in the world, whose cosseted existence in a vivisection unit is turned upside down when they are liberated by animal rights activists.

It’s a Baby Cow series and features the usual suspects associated with that production company (Steve Coogan, Julia Davis, Kevin Eldon etc) as well as Simon Pegg.
