Parrots own cafes and lemurs run the espresso machines. Badgers
tend bar, raccoons write for The Post, and a racehorse is mayor.
There are dogs on Wall Street and cats on Broadway. Sea creatures
are viewed with fear and disgust. Maybe a big wall should be built
to keep them out. It's New York City, now-ish. No big deal. Alfonzo
is an alpaca. His hip friend Mitchell is a llama. They both work at
City Hall and are trying to navigate the great furry city
collapsing around them. Partly to meet girls, and partly out of a
sense that the world might be ending, these lowly city employees
embark on an unlikely mission to take down the corrupt system
selling the city out from beneath its real inhabitants. Their
journey soon leads them to the Sea Front, a clandestine group that
could as easily be a hive of dangerous radicals as an inspirational
liberation movement. This world without humans teems with creatures
stuck in frustrating jobs and surrounded by crumbling
infrastructure and worsening environmental catastrophes. Joni
Murphy's Talking Animals is Animal Farm by way of Annie Hall by way
of The Sixth Extinction. At once delicate and urgent, it is a
contemporary allegory about community and capitalism, art and
protest, the physical and emotional devastation of global warming,
and the elemental struggle to change one's life.
