The Wacky Zoo of Morgan City is a 1970 American television film produced by Walt Disney Productions. Directed by Marvin J. Chomsky, it originally aired in two parts on NBC's The Wonderful World of Disney on October 18 and October 25, 1970.
The film was based on Charles A. Goodrum's 1967 book I'll Trade You an Elk, a memoir about his father, Bernie Goodrum, and his experiences running the Wichita Municipal Zoo.
The production was filmed at the site of the former Los Angeles Zoo, after its animals had been transferred to the newer zoo in Griffith Park.
