Two movies that portray different kinds of love for an animal. I can't help but joke about The Beast. Unless a person has a particular type of fetish, I doubt there's much erotic value to be found. Aside from being gross, The Beast is so absurd that laughter is the only appropriate response I can think of. Au Hasard Balthazar makes me laugh, too, but only because it's so austere. I still think it's a lovely film. Balthazar the donkey isn't interested in starting up a physical relationship with Marie, as far as I know. He just wants to be treated kindly.
