Who's Who in the Zoo is a classic product of the 1940s studio system, emphasizing rapid-fire slapstick humor over deeper social themes. The animation focuses on traditional comedic formulas and animal-centric gags rather than character-driven narratives. Since the film adheres to the entertainment conventions of its era, it lacks diverse casting or critical engagement with societal issues. The focus remains on the gag-driven travelogue format typical of the Golden Age of American animation.
