The Animals is a 2012 Filipino coming-of-age film directed by Gino M. Santos.

It is about the daily struggles of three teens living in upper middle class Manila.

[3] Set in an affluent, upper middle class village in the suburbs, The Animals chronicles a day in the life of Jake (Albie Casiño), Trina (Dawn Jimenez), and Alex (Patrick Sugui), who go through the musings that every kid in high school has to deal with.

A vivid picture is painted of life in high school after the final bell rings, as well as a different side of the Philippines, and what is happening to its privileged children.
