    WHAT?

    To be the first video is not bad at all

    Youtube is currently the most popular video hosting page but not many know the beginning of Youtube, "Me at the zoo" was the first video which was published in April 2005 by one of the Creators of Youtube, this video is currently a relic of the internet and currently has around 200 million views.

    In the video we see Jawed at the San Diego Zoo talking about elephants and it's just that, but despite its simplicity this video left a great legacy followed by millions and millions of videos that made YouTube the page we know today.

    Being a short video I don't have much more to say.

    For everything I said before, I give this video a 6.

    Well Done, but lacking in content.

    Personally, I enjoyed this short film. The setting is immersive and the actors are talented. However, I felt that this specific short film did not include enough detail, and because of that it is difficult to find meaning. Despite this, the script was very realistic and easy to comprehend. Along with this, I felt that the ambiance and setting was very impressive, and enjoyable to pay attention to.

    The best video ever made.

    This video is absolutely fantastic, it should be shown in theaters everywhere! There's a lot of emotion and meaning in this video, and you can tell the acting is also great. The actor makes a great performance when making clear that he's at the zoo and the elephants have really long trunks.

    Just amazing, loved every part of it. 11/10

    I really don't have much else to say about this absolutely masterpiece of a video other than it's really amazing. To be quite honest I was done with this review until IMDb said I needed at least 10 lines so here I am typing more stuff. I'm pretty sure it's worth it, this review will surely be very helpful to a lot of people.

    Perfect film no doubt about it.

    "Me at the Zoo" is a 2005 Si-Fi Horror Story Staring Jawed Karim. I have seen many short films but absolutely none of them can hold a candle to Me at the Zoo. The whole film was very immersive, I felt as if I was in the same zoo as the other characters. The story is well written and easy to understand, perfect for all ages! Also the CGI is incredible, the animals look super realistic. Overall its perfect my only issue is it should have been a feature length film, its too short.

      Guy in the zoo: All right, so here we are in front of the, uh, elephants, and the cool thing about these guys is that, is that they have really, really, really long, um, trunks, and that's, that's cool, and that's pretty much all there is to say.
