A family where the brother is a camera operator

A family loaded with quirky, colorful characters piles into an old van and road trips to California for little Olive to compete in a beauty pageant.

The Dillydale County Fair has something for everyone--Mr. Stubborn is determined to win at "Whack a Clown," Miss Chatterbox and Mr. Grumpy are touring the fun house, and Miss Naughty just signed Mr. Persnickety up to catch a greased pig. In "Wildlife," Mr. Noisy, Miss Helpful, and Mr. Lazy are out in the wilderness interacting with bears and other creatures, while a day at the "Amusement Park" provides very different experiences for Mr. Strong, Mr. Happy, and Mr. Stubborn. "Beach" is the perfect setting for a day spent reading, parasailing, picnicking, or surfing, but Miss Helpful, Miss Daredevil, and Mr. Bump make a strange water-skiing trio in "Lake." Finally, Miss Sunshine is the perfect tour guide in "Science"--too bad Miss Whoops and Miss Helpful aren't equally exemplary employees.

Royal Tenenbaum and his wife Etheline had three children and then they separated. All three children are extraordinary --- all geniuses. Virtually all memory of the brilliance of the young Tenenbaums was subsequently erased by two decades of betrayal, failure, and disaster. Most of this was generally considered to be their father's fault. "The Royal Tenenbaums" is the story of the family's sudden, unexpected reunion one recent winter.

Apparently an attempt to parody the "Charlie Rose" show, here host Peter Bradley interviews 6 (well, 5, since one doesn't show up) of the bit players from "The Royal Tenenbaums."

Deep in the forests of the Pacific Northwest, a father devoted to raising his six kids with a rigorous physical and intellectual education is forced to leave his paradise and enter the world, beginning a journey that challenges his idea of what it means to be a parent.

When their father passes away, four grown, world-weary siblings return to their childhood home and are requested -- with an admonition -- to stay there together for a week, along with their free-speaking mother and a collection of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. As the brothers and sisters re-examine their shared history and the status of each tattered relationship among those who know and love them best, they reconnect in hysterically funny and emotionally significant ways.

Benjamin has lost his wife and, in a bid to start his life over, purchases a large house that has a zoo – welcome news for his daughter, but his son is not happy about it. The zoo is in need of renovation and Benjamin sets about the work with the head keeper and the rest of the staff, but, the zoo soon runs into financial trouble.

The head of the family presents a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity that could change their lives forever.

Two siblings and filmmakers look through old tapes they filmed during their shared four weeks of vacation with their father each year.
