The colors are vibrant and the characters are memorable in this rollicking animated story of animals that unite together. There are some nice themes featured in this movie, including a father, meerkat Billy, who sets off to show his son Junior he can be a hero. He doesn’t start off very well, but it’s always the end of the journey that counts.
This one we are giving the 12+ Dove Seal to, due to several scenes of animal violence including a man with a rifle who targets the animals and brings down a lion. There are also a few scenes of the animals drinking beer and partying a bit. One of the movie’s themes is global warming and man is made out to be a culprit in the problem. The film concludes at the United Nations building in New York City with a conference.
In more than one scene the lake and water look refreshingly real! The voice work is terrific as it features Andy Serkis and Vanessa Redgrave. This one is a feast for the eyes and it has “captured” our Dove Seal.
