    Pretty sure everyone came around eventually. Hard to believe it was so embraced at the time. Sort of the opposite of a cult following.

        Not going to lie, a two-hour movie about the life of a buffalo, told from the buffalo’s perspective, and entirely without dialogue, would be pretty sick.

          And they could do similar stuff in a variety of ways! One might be along the lines of funny, domestic buffalo, like Dinosaurs ('91-94), or as a soap opera-style narrated documentary, like Meerkat Manor, or like you say, wordless from their POV, a bit like Microcosmos perhaps.

          Would also be pretty cool IMO to make it from a Native American POV, with buffalo as spirit animals and such. Maybe with some dreamy cartoon mythology depicted.

          Now how did I go from a shit comment to all that? XD
