Place was full of kids and people walking their little dogs, which of course is funny. The animatronics are subtle and hypnotic. Thought the chimp was a little obvious but the filet-o-fish and hot dogs more than make up for it. Saw it this afternoon and it’s super great.

This same artist was attacked by animal rights activists for painting an elephant and having it stand in a warehouse show. I think this 'piece' is commenting more on society than animals. Banksy never ceases to amaze. He says so much and his work is always so much fun! It is interesting other peoples attitude to animals.

Hope the animatronics stand up over time. Or maybe when they start to stick and break down, the effect will be even better! Excellent. Hope the animatronics stand up over time.

Banksy is fast becoming my #1 favorite artist of all time. That video clip is amazing, I wish I wasn’t most of a continent away from NYC. Banksy is fast becoming my #1 favorite artist of all time.

I loved the Louis Vuitton lizards, the bunny with make-up...and the monkey was extraordinary. Anyway, it's fantastic. I recommend everyone go see it if they have the chance.

There's a chimp watching TV that has incredibly subtle movements and someone asked if the rabbit in the window was real. It was tough to force myself to visit the West Village, but I'm so glad I did.
