About

Based on a whimsical mix of the Lion King's Circle of Life, samples of Ome Henk's Opblaaskrokodil, and some improvised keyboard accompaniment by Andrew Kepple, this fun, unserious adventure has been hailed by squirrel-lovers as one of the cuter animutations out there. Although not a traditional animutation, (but are any animutations really "traditional"?) it nevertheless contains mondegreens and Colin Mochrie. Perhaps this is Kepple's way of demonstrating that he can make an animutational movie that doesn't rely heavily on making references to as many other animutations as possible. Or perhaps he was really trying to be random instead of obscure. Or maybe he was simply too obscure this time. Some folks have observed parallels between this animutation and Stanley Kubrick's movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, which is one of Kepple's favourite - and oft-parodied - movies. But The Squirrel of Life is not something to be analysed in great detail. It's fun, it's mindless, it's warm and fuzzy and romantic and was released on Saint Valentine's day 2005. Or maybe that's just what Kepple wants us to believe...

It's a vineyard bagithi baba Sithi uhhmm vineyard vineyard It's a vineyard with a vegetable Sithi uhhmm vineyard vineyard See a mogwai Vineyard Ingonyama Penguin in Pajamas (repeats) From the day we arrive on the planet And blinking, step into the sun There's more to see than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done There's far too much to take in here More to find than can ever be found But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky Keeps great and small on the endless round It's the circle of life And it moves us all Through despair and hope Through faith and love Till we find our Pants On the path unwinding In the circle, the circle of life

Nants ingonyama bagithi baba Sithi uhhmm ingonyama Nants ingonyama bagithi baba Sithi uhhmm ingonyama, ingonyama Siyo Nqoba Ingonyama Ingonyama nengw' enamabala (repeats) From the day we arrive on the planet And blinking, step into the sun There's more to see than can ever be seen More to do than can ever be done There's far too much to take in here More to find than can ever be found But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky Keeps great and small on the endless round It's the circle of life And it moves us all Through despair and hope Through faith and love Till we find our place On the path unwinding In the circle, the circle of life
