Animal turns its camera on the earliest days of the wild: newborns from a range of species making their way from before birth to their first attempts at moving on their own.
What is Animal about?
This documentary series follows a broad cross-section of young animals through the milestones that come with entering the world, using observational footage to track how different species handle their opening days outside the womb. Rather than centering a single family or location, Animal moves between several kinds of newborns, contrasting how each one is built to survive its own environment. The series was produced as a joint India-United States project released in 2023, and its scope stretches across land and habitat rather than staying with one storyline, letting the differences between species do the work instead of a single narrative thread.
About the cast
Animal credits Sandeep Reddy Vanga as director, with Ranbir Kapoor, Rashmika Mandanna, Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Tripti Dimri, Prem Chopra, Suresh Oberoi and Shakti Kapoor listed among its contributors.
Context & significance
Animal sits in the Documentary genre and runs long by series standards, giving it room to move through multiple species rather than compress everything into a short runtime. A joint India-US production credit is relatively unusual for a nature-focused documentary, and it points to a wider international appetite for observational animal programming beyond the traditional broadcast nature-documentary market.
