Wow, that would actually have been watchable in landscape mode.

Keep in mind these particular donkeys were once poorly behaved Italian children who were given an opportunity to pursue all manner of hedonistic delights on a secret enchanted island. A cricket told me all about it.

At least they didn’t get sold to the salt mines. Although apparently some of them were sold to the circus? That doesn’t sound too bad of a career option for a young boy.

they don’t really seem to be enjoying themselves. I know nothing about Donkey’s but they kind of seem spooked.

Agreed. I don’t think they are happy at all.

This is playful behavior. No way of knowing if the music has anything to do with it. But the little donkey wants to play with the bigger donkey, who doesn’t want to play as much. No spooked donkeys here.

Agreed. When donkeys get really upset, they bray.

This has led me down a rabbit-hole of discovery that ended at two fairy tales I was not aware of, Donkey-Skin by Charles Perrault and Donkey Cabbages by the Brothers Grimm.

…And Catherine DeNeuve was in a movie.

Yup, donkeys being donkeys. They started playing when the music started.
