I need to move to Australia 
This is the perhaps the best movie I have every seen. It is informative and yet it somehow will make the viewer laugh throughout. I saw it in a class and had to come home and buy it. All I can say now is that I want some Australian friends.
Cane Toads - campy but informative 
Somebody else said it was Monty Python meets Marlin Perkins. Throw in a little of “The Far Side”, and you’ve got it. A decent documentary. It *does* demonstrate invasive species in action and highlights the perils of introducing animals or plants we don’t understand into new envirmmonents.
Environmentally sound!
This movie, although a cross between Monty Python and National Geographic, is a must for EVERY environmental student. I show this to my high school environmental classes every year to demonstrate how intoduced invasive species can decimate an ecosystem.
Funny, informative, and ridiculous
I saw this on T.V. a few weeks ago really late at night. I really just wanna go to Australia with my pellet gun and waste these things after watching this. I’m not gonna go into detail and spoil the funny parts, but it’s definitely worth the hour or so it takes to watch. Also through some research I’ve found that Cane Toads- An Unnatural History is completely factual despite its humor.
The truth is stranger than fiction
This documentary is factual, hilarious, and very Australian. It provides interviews with different individuals, who relay their experience and opinions of the Cane Toad, an introduced species that is basically wiping out the Australian ecosystem north of Sydney. See the Canadian scientist with the slight flinch in his eye while he tells you of the toad induced death of his prized endangered cat. See the Aussie bloke in the Combi Van who likes to run over them (”if you get ‘em just right, they go pop ….”). Fascinating info on the toad itself, as well.
Luckily, this is so warped and funny, that you hardly notice the environmental catastrophe. EVERY AUSTRALIAN SHOULD SEE THIS.
