Mosaic Life

How come whenever anyone makes a cartoon about animals that aren't free, they always want to be free? Wouldn't an animal born in captivity not know what freedom was like, and therefore not know what it was missing? Sort of like I don't long for my own private jet, but if Jessica Simpson (she hasn't fallen from fame's clutches yet, right?) suddenly became poor, she might miss her snazzy transportation.

So anyway, I think movies with animals in captivity should have more realistic plots than the animals striving to be free. Have the animals in a zoo plan to eat some of the bystanders. Or perhaps have them take over the zoo, and maybe steal the plot from Lord of the Flies. Just something besides the freedom bit.
