None of them had any prior experience of running a zoo but they have since turned the zoo around and it is now a thriving enterprise. Benjamin Mee, along with his wife and mother, decided to buy a zoo in Dartmoor, a very rural part of England. We Bought a Zoo is a sweetly charming film based on a real-life story that will warm even the coldest of hearts. In the real Dartmoor zoo, the jaguar did indeed escape into the tiger enclosure. When Benjamin Mee first meets the zoo keeping staff, it is mentioned that there's a weak fence between the jaguars and the tigers. In real-life, Benjamin Mee doesn't have hair.īen Stiller, Tom Cruise, and Leonardo Di Caprio were all considered for the role of Benjamin Mee. In the trailer above, Rosie tells her dad (Matt Damon) that he's better than the other daddies as he has hair. He, and his children, make an appearance in the movie as the first family that climb over the tree blocking the road to the zoo. We Bought a Zoo is loosely based on the real-life story of Benjamin Mee, who bought a Zoo in Dartmoor, England.
