Testimonials for the Cinemazoo Animal Agency in metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. A small fraction of the testimonials, or positive feedback received from our happy customers:

I am writing on behalf of my son and his friends, who enjoyed the Cinemazoo experience this past weekend at our house for his birthday. When we originally planned his birthday we had no idea how amazing and awesome this experience would actually be. I wanted to thank the 2 ladies ( Julie and Gill ) who hosted this incredible presentation. My son invited his entire class so needless to say it was a full house of young wild and crazy kids. I wanted to acknowledge your staff for taking control and engaging these kids! They did an awesome job! I would recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique, fun experience.

We just want to thank you for a wonderful experience with yourselves and your amazing animals. You made Kieran’s birthday extra special. Thanks again, it takes special people to do what you do, and those animals are so lucky to have you."

Gary your time given to these children over the past 9 years have certainly surpassed all sponsor expectations. No words can express the joy and excitement your critters big & small have brought to those wonderful variety children. You & your crew have given so much of your time and love each & every year & your involvement has been amazing. I do hope you continue with the Boat for Hope as the kids just love to see you and all your animals.... A very heart felt thanks...

Cinemazoo gave Jack a FABULOUS 8th Birthday Party!!! Making the arrangements with you was also very pleasant and professional! The two ladies that gave the demonstration were EXCELLENT!!!! (another sorry as I have just forgotten their names, but did not want that to prevent me from sending them and you and Gary a thank letter). We highly recommend CINEMAZOO for parties!!! As Jack said...."They are the best...can we have them again for my birthday next year

Many of our students do not have the opportunity to have a pet but like all kids seem to love animals ... Your interactive presentation literally brings their natural curiosity alive. You have a great collection, a well thought out presentation and a great way with the students

Cameron Elementary School

A special thank you for bringing your wildly popular showbiz menagerie to this year's Reel to Real International Film Festival for Youth and Families. Teachers and students, children and parents find this to be a thoroughly delightful experience...

Reel to Real International Film Festival

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you properly for the incredible presentation you gave ... for my daughter's 4th birthday. As a parent it is always a challenge to decide on an appropriate form of entertainment for your child and her friends. Cinemazoo was ideal. It had the perfect blending of both the educational and hands on fun. ... You and your company have given her a birthday that she, as well a many others, will remember for years to come.

Thank you again this year for coming out and being a part of our event. We love having you there and seeing all the kids take part in your hands on reptile and animal display. Some of our Variety children are able to come back each year and enjoy seeing how much they have grown. This is very special to them as they are able to remember certain ones.

Kelly Yamauchi, Boat For Hope

It is with the contribution of people like yourself that allows developing film makers to show their personal work alongside that of other entries.

Jacqueline Forster, Production Manager, 4 Let Films

Feedback from the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver regarding "Medallion Night Under The Big Top" ... has been extraordinary! I'm told many members took time to call and write the Association to say that this year's event was the best they had ever attended. Our client can't thank us enough for producing such an "awesome" evening. ... From the live tarantulas crawling all over "spider woman", pair of alligators, bodiless dog, gigantic snakes draped over their handler's shoulders to Canada's only live unicorn.

Elana R. Gold, President, Wow! Productions

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you for your time, effort and dedication that went into creating, developing, producing and acting in the eight TV and five radio St. John Ambulance spots Without your donation we would not have such a quality advertising campaign.

St. John Ambulance

Gary Oliver has been presenting demonstrations of his animals, insects and reptiles from his agency, Cinemazoo, since 1992. He comes in and speaks to our youth about the opportunities in the animal training, stunt acting and other possible careers in the film industry ... Gary has shown a keen interest in the well-being of the youth in our Custody Centre ... We would like to show our support and to thank Cinemazoo for their support to our Centre.

Raymond Cheng, Burnaby Youth Open Custody Centre

Oh behalf of the crew of "Two Paws Up" we would like to thank you for your participation in our documentary. We thank you for the time you made available for us. You were an integral part in the completion of our film. We appreciate your patience and generosity.

Erin Haskett and Larisa Andrews, Director and Producer of Two Paws Up

I enjoy working with a company that is well-organized and competent! It was simple to book appointments with your staff and your classroom set up went without complications - truly a feat when dealing with more than four hundred audience members! Please consider this letter an overwhelming endorsement of your Cinemazoo program. I am pleased to highly recommend your company for any engagements where people of all ages are interested in learning more about the animal world through a caring and educational presentation.

Trish Safarik, Classroom Teacher, Brentwood Park School

Both personally and on behalf of the Agriculture Department at the Pacific National Exhibition, I want to thank you and your staff not only for the wonderful job you did and contribution you made to the PNE Pet Place, but for being such a pleasure to work with. Each year, Cinemazoo's co-operation, eager participation, sense of humour and understanding when needed, from a co-ordinators point of view are worth more than words can say and was once again, truly appreciated.

Sandy Womack, Agriculture Programs Co-ordinator, PNE

The Children were fascinated by your animals and learned a lot of new information. You kept a large group of 116 children and adults involved and entertained for almost one hour. I especially appreciated your calm manner, sense of humour, and ability to tell interesting and instructional anecdotes about the animals.

Kristie Stewart, Children's Librarian, Champlain Heights Library

Your presentation was so unique! We usually do not have spiders, lizards, frogs, and snakes visiting, therefore your "show and tell" was extra special ... In addition, special thanks for allowing us to videotape the show, so that the children who could not attend your presentation had an opportunity to see the unusual critters as well. ... Your visit certainly brightened the day of many of our patients and families, and there were lots of extra smiles that day as well!

Anna Suska, Child Life Specialist, BC Children's Hospital

Thank you so much for your presentations of exotic animals as part of Science World's Wacky Science month in May. Your variety of creepy crawly creatures delighted our visitors. We look forward to having you come again.
