What does Rocket Raccoon do after saving the world? Apparently he goes to Dunkin Donuts...no really.

Since we're talking about animals - here's one of our favorite "animal" videos...how animals would run if they were people.

So now we're sitting in the office naming the best animals in movies (beside Rocket Raccoon, of course)

  1. Donkey from Shrek: Everybody loves parfait. Is he irritating or just a good friend?
  1. Benji (Ryan doesn't know this dog...but as a kid I remember wanting a dog because of this film)
  1. Garfield (does that count? there was a movie) - although Garfield's cholesterol was probably through the roof
  1. Winnie The Pooh: Hell...you could write about half of the 100 acre forest couldn't you?
  1. Does Mickey Mouse count? And why does he have pants and no shirt...while Donald Duck is wearing a shirt and no pants. WTF?
  1. Babe the Pig. Everyone wanted a baby pig after that movie came out. (That'll do).

I keep looping back to Benji. Am I the only one who remembers this movie? I was a little kid in the theatre watching this cute little dog escape all sorts of trouble. I honestly don't remember the plot (there was a bad guy trying to steal something).

We all wanted that loveable little dog - everybody was going to the local pound to get a "Benji". I think my Mom at one point went looking for a Benji dog....no luck. We settled on a St. Bernard (not exactly Benji, but a worthy movie dog).

Benji - Lassie - Rin Tin Tin. Dogs in movies. Even 101 Dalmatians. Dogs definitely get more love than cats in film. We've got Garfield and every other cat is either lazy or a thief....wait, Ryan just thought of one "Mr Bojangles" in "Meet The Fockers"...does that count? I still think the siamese in 101 Dalmatians were just misunderstood...lol
