Well, this is one way of teaching the alphabet.
I'm sure kids enjoyed footage of the animals at the Bronx Zoo (and elsewhere), then grew up demanding "abusive" zoos be shut down.
The narrator talks to the orangutan on the screen.
Produced by the March of Time.

Sometimes simple ideas are the best, and this is an example of this. It's always fun to see cute animals.

Cute film that tries desperately to match animals with every letter in the alphabet. Hosted by Andy, a rather (for good reason) timid orangutan, Andy meets some of the animals (and recoils in horror) but mostly takes a side view as we go through the alphebet where we get general (eg elephant) to the much much more specific (eg the Umbrella bird).

This is an alphabet of animals in the Bronx Zoo, which is one of the better concepts for an alphabet film I've come across. Andy is a baby orangutan and for some reason he is the host, or more accurately the mascot, for the film. Which is not a bad idea, really, because he is genuinely cute and charming just being a baby orangutan. The other animals are fun, too, making this one of the best of the alphabet films, which are usually boring.
