The Animal is a 2001 comedy film, directed by Luke Greenfield. It stars Rob Schneider, Colleen Haskell, Edward Asner, and John C. McGinley. Schneider plays Marvin Mange, a man who is critically injured but unknown to him he is put back together by a mad scientist who transplants animal parts, resulting in strange permanent changes to his behavior. Marvin Mange is a meek, uncoordinated man who dreams of being a police officer like his dad was. Instead, Marvin works as a trainee in a small town police station. He tries a few times to pass the physical test to become a full-fledged police... officer, but he just can't seem to finish the obstacle course. Marvin gets no respect from Sgt. Sisk . One day, while left alone at the station, he receives a robbery call. With all of the real policemen out at a softball game, Marvin rushes to the scene himself. Along the way, he swerves to avoid a seal in the road and crashes over a cliff. He is critically injured, but is rescued by Dr. Wilder , a mad scientist who puts Marvin back together using animal parts.
