Animal Games is a BBC special that aired in 2004. It presents the Olympic Games where all the contestants are non-human animals, using footage of real animals modified digitally to set them in the same scenes. The contestants are divided into five teams, Herptiles, Insects, Fish, Mammals, and Birds. Due to the massive spectrum of sizes covered by the contestants, they are all resized to be the same size as humans. (Of course, Square-Cube Law is ignored.) The teams compete in various competitions just like in the real life Olympics, with often impressive (and sometimes hilarious) results. Amidst all the fun and games, the commentators (John Motson and Jonathan Pearce) discuss how each contestant accomplishes its feats.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It was followed up in 2006 by Animal Winter Olympics. Aside from the seasonal setting and the different competitions featured, this one had several differences from the original Animal Games. For one thing, it added a new team to the competition, one specifically for Humans that included Real Life athletes, allowing a comparison between human record breakers and other animals, while there was no Insect team. For another, the contestants were not resized this time around, so their performances reflected their actual capabilities in real life. | |

Carnivore Confusion | |
| Animal Games / int_27a58d30 | comment |
Carnivore Confusion: In spite of all the animals competing alongside one another regardless of diet, no problems of this sort occur. The dragonfly holding the shooting target for the archerfish does get a little nervous though.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Animal Games / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: If it weren't for their imprecision, the abilities of the flea, whirligig beetle, and skipper butterfly caterpillar would have outshined most if not all of their competitors by a landslide. Similarly, the tiger beetle being blinded by its own Super Speed costs it a gold medal. | |

Brought Down to Normal | |
| Animal Games / int_66ea7e5c | comment |
Brought Down to Normal: Once everyone's the same size, the cheetah (in the 100-meter dash) and elephant (in weightlifting) do quite poorly in their respective fields. The elephant even gets disqualified, as it's not even able to lift 25kg! | |

Camera Abuse | |

Camera Abuse: The skipper butterfly caterpillar bumps into the camera, causing it to lose connection. The camera is fixed by a gorilla. | |
