Lumberjack's Delight / Zooing Time is an intriguing episode of the popular animated series The Angry Beavers. The episode follows the two beavers, Daggett and Norbert, as they embark on a new adventure, which takes them into the world of lumberjacks and zoos.
The first segment, Lumberjack's Delight, sees Daggett and Norbert heading to a lumberjack camp, where they meet a group of burly lumberjacks. Daggett is fascinated by the massive trees and is quick to join in the fun, whereas Norbert is more concerned about the safety of their dam in light of all the logging.
As the beavers join the lumberjacks on their work, Daggett quickly becomes an expert at shooting down trees with a chainsaw while Norbert continuously tries to stop the lumberjacks from getting too close to the beaver's home. As the day progresses, the beavers and lumberjacks work together to complete the job, but soon realize that the logging has gone too far. It is then up to Daggett and Norbert to come up with a plan to stop the lumberjacks and save their home.
In the second segment, Zooing Time, Daggett and Norbert are at the zoo, where they are determined to see every exhibit. As they wander around the zoo, they come across an exhibit that says "Do Not Enter." Daggett, in his usual impulsive manner, decides to investigate, and Norbert tries to stop him. However, the two beavers end up getting locked in the exhibit, where they meet a variety of interesting animals.
As they try to escape, the beavers encounter a stubborn elephant, a hungry lion, and a talkative parrot, among other creatures. They eventually find an escape route, but when they hear that the zoo is about to close, they struggle to make it back in time. In a hilarious ending, they manage to escape, but end up running into one of the zookeepers who sees them and sets off the alarm.
Overall, Lumberjack's Delight / Zooing Time is a fun and entertaining episode of The Angry Beavers, featuring the usual antics of Daggett and Norbert. The episode is particularly interesting as it explores two contrasting worlds, one being the vast forests of the lumberjack camp, and the other being the confined spaces of the zoo. The episode also highlights the strong bond between the two beavers, as they work together to overcome the challenges they face.
