Well, there's a couple of humorous examples:

A Sound of Thunder (really bad special effects - it's a "what if" time
travel movie)
Super Mario Brothers is also a "what if" with dinosaurs evolving into
people.
There's also a PBS documentary on the voyage of the Beagle, plus I found
this resource site:

Hope that helps.

I need to develop a list of movies for a film symposium on evolution
that will run through Darwin year (2009) and wondered if you had any
ideas for movies that present evolution in positive, and maybe even
humorous ways (such as the 2001 movie, Evolution, with David Duchovny).
The idea is to spawn discussion about the ways in which evolution is
represented and whether those representations are valid and accurate
interpretations of the theory.  And maybe, to have fun doing that!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
