'Stolen' by Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding

A mysterious thief known as ‘The Phantom’ is stealing all the animals at ‘Fossil’s Fun World’, so zookeepers Howard Moon and Vince Noir decide to track down the culprit. Vince and the zoo’s owner, Bob Fossil, take to the air in a helicopter, but quickly end up crash-landing on a hippo. That night Howard dresses up as a deer and waits in the enclosure in a plan to get kidnapped and unmask the villain. Unfortunately, Vince fails in his task as back-up, after getting distracted by the ‘Colobos the Crab’ television show. Howard is soon abducted by the Phantom and taken to his hideout – where he discovers that the thief is actually working for none other than Bob Fossil…
