Partridge Films was a 90's British media company, producing animal-related films. It also had a mascot, a green lizard named Harry, who would appear in most films. It won several awards, and even partnered with Wildscreen ARKive for a short while. It also had a series called 'Animal Alphabet', where there were 26 exotic animals, each with their own song. Given its success, sooner than later, it would have a French Counterpart, Animalalphabetes, sometimes added an accent. As well as language change, it had three other differences, Armadillos were changed to Antelopes, and Uakaris to Urubu. Also, Anton Mullan was a singer as well as Babette Lhospice, who did most of the singing. After this, they created 'Animal Numbers', with numbers 1-10 and 0. However, a French dub exists too, named 'Aninombres'.

So far, the only footage of this clip exists is of the credits. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMbn1xSGmYg

It seems okay to guess that this wasn't as heavily changed as Animalalphabetes was. Also, Babette seems to take a major singing role again.

As far as we know, it seems someone owns a VHS copy of the full thing.

To add to the mystery, Animal Alphabet is said to have been made in 6 different languages.[1] The page lists Spanish, Portugese, and German. This means English and French are only the surface, and a 6th language exists as well. It's possible to assume this would've been another European language, safely to assume Italian.
