Captions provided by CCTubes – Captioning the Internet! Day after day, inhabitants of the Menagerie play out their daily lives like clockwork.
Menagerie is a study of the daily motions and mundane tasks of contemporary city life. Featuring hundreds of looping animated characters, the film explores how the repetitive actions of our day-to-day lives quickly spiral into an endless kaleidoscope of abstraction.
