Animal movies are always going to go down a treat at any party, but if you're having an animal themed party, there are literally hundreds of movies out there that you can pick up with your party supplies to keep your guests entertained! A movie will also provide a good talking point for your guests, especially if you have people coming who have never met each other before. Your quick-thinking movie idea could have them all talking like best buddies in no time!

An obvious choice for an animal-themed party movie is Dr Dolittle. There are 3 movies in this trilogy of animal madness, and kids and adults will love and appreciate Dr Dolittle. This trilogy is great family viewing, with hilarious scenes, fantastic actors, and even better animal actors!

Stuart Little is also a great animal movie for a party. It has every emotion you need – happiness, sadness, and it's funny too! Stuart Little is a movie that everyone can love, regardless of age, and you could even coax your guests into dressing up – one half of you could be mice, the other half could be cats, and you could play party games to see, once and for all, who is smarter!

Speaking of cats, Cats And Dogs is another hilarious movie suitable for any party. With a great voice casting, funny dialogue and brilliant animal acting, this movie will have you perched on the edge of your seats laughing. What else would you want for a party!

Lastly, a great animal movie to fit in with your party that has just come out in 2011 is Rio, which would be perfect for your party. It's based around tropical birds, and while it is indeed sad in a place or two, the majority of it is so fun and upbeat you can't help but dance – which is great for a party!
