„Die Kombination aus der subversiven Darstellung eines Tieres in menschlicher Umgebung und der humorvollen Inszenierung vermittelt eine Botschaft, die Betrachter dazu ermuntern soll, die Unterschiede zwischen Mensch und Tier neu zu denken und das Vergnügen zu schätzen, das sich aus einer solchen kreativen Umsetzung ergibt.“
