Moose

Can You Find The Moose?
So we rented a cabin over Thanksgiving to host my family for a week (we decided that our 2 bedroom apartment probably wouldn't cut it for 6 grown adults for 7 nights).

The cabin was great but the decorations were a bit quirky. Moose decorations were kind of the theme and according to the cabin guest book, a bored kid back in 2008, or something like that, counted around 375 individual moose in the cabin (I don't remember the exact number, dad you can correct me if I'm wrong).

Anyhow, the moose decorations lead to a discussion about what movies exist that have a real live moose in them (none of this moose head stuff). And Rocky and Bullwinkle didn't count. We were stumped and couldn't come up with any. We left convinced that moose are under represented in Hollywood.

However, after some indepth research and scientific polling...we have discovered there are movies with moose in them. So for your useless knowledge enjoyment, here are some movies with an actual live moose.

Can you add to the list?

  1. Brother Bear: Rutt and Took were brother moose in the film (ok...these were animated)
  2. Morris the Midget Moose: a short animated Disney film (also animated)
  3. Grumpy Old Men: has a scene with a TV broadcast showing a recovered injured moose
  4. Salt Water Moose: about two children on an island with a lonely moose
  5. Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle: ok, I had to add it...my list was pathetic. 
Big list, isn't it? There are a lot more instances where a moose is somehow referenced...mostly as an animal head on a wall.

So I guess maybe moose actually are underrepresented in Hollywood. Which begs the question, why? Are they not scary enough? Are they hard to work with? Are they camera shy? Do they ask for to much pay? Do they refuse to do their own stunts? Are they not beautiful enough? Hmmmm...the mystery continues.
