Universal’s Animal Actors

This was one of my kid’s favorite shows. The animals are super cute and intelligent.
I loved every single animal including the cute pig that came running out halfway through the show!

This show seriously needs to be updated. The scripts that the actors/​trainers follow along with is incredibly cheesy and the tricks/​stunts they have the animals do aren’t all that to be wowed with. Seriously guys, it’s 2015…

This was probably one of my kid’s favorite attractions. You get to see cats, dogs, birds, chickens and other creatures do some cool and funny tricks. After the show you can go up and talk to the trainer, pet the animals and take some photos.

Animal Actors is a fantastic show that features trained animals used in Hollywood productions.
It’s often a fast paced, mind boggling display of highly trained animal friends. If you have children with you, it’s a MUST-​see attraction. I was lucky enough to be chosen for one of the tricks where a trained bird flies up and takes a dollar our of my hand. He then returned it, after the trainer gave the command. Very impressive and super fun.
If you’ve already made the trip to Universal Studios you absolutely have to catch this show. Great family fun with plenty of furry friends!
5 stars!

If you need to rest your feet after standing in lines everywhere in the park, you’ve arrived. You’ll enjoy the show, just don’t tell your PETA friends… Just kidding. Lots of fun watching beautiful animals with awesome trainers!

Universal’s Animal Actors is a show that features exotic birds, dogs, cats, pigs and other special animals that have been featured in some of Hollywood’s biggest productions.
Audiences are still given a sneak preview of how animals behave and interact in the movie industry, and guests (specifically kids) are still asked to participate in the show’s various demos.
Simply put, Universal’s Animal Actors is a simple combination of animal demonstrations, tricks, and a sneak preview of some of Hollywood’s insider techniques. Think of a much friendlier version of the Special Effects Stage with the obvious emphasis on animals. It’s cute, great for kids, and really just a fine way to wind down after a ride on Jurassic Park or Transformers. And while repeat guests might just want to skip the show something else, everyone else should find this show rather enjoyable.
Pros:
–Fun and creative show that involves some of our cute and cuddly four legged friends. (Whats not to love?)
–The video they show you before the show begins talks about how most of the animals in the show comes from rescue programs and animal shelters.
(It is really cute and touching to know that some of the most famous animals on screen actually comes from a shelter.)
Cons:
–The show hasn’t changed much throughout the years.
(Except they got rid of the monkeys and that big orangutan that comes in and out of the different scenes.)
Overall, this is probably the most kid-​friendly show at the park. Not only does it deal with animals, but it also uses kids as participants. So if your child loves animals, be sure to bring ‘em for the show.
