Animals United takes the next step from the Madagascar movies by taking advantage of the 3D technology and is a good movie to bring the kids to for the Christmas season. The story is simple enough; a collection of animals are facing an environmental disaster as water supplies are dwindling.
It is a German Production that is re-voiced with a British cast, including the likes of Stephen Fry and the popular James Cordon, who take on the roles of Billy the Meerkat (Cordon) and Socrates the Lion (Fry). They deliver hope to the animal community by rallying them for the mission of destroying a water damn.
The plot is disjointed and only a vague explanation to why a Polar Bear and a Tasmanian Devil are in the middle of Africa is offered. In saying that, it is a kid’s movie and such details need no explanation. It is amusing and children will find plenty to enjoy. Even though it’s not quite on the same level as Ice Age and Madagascar, it will still appeal to their fans while also delivering a good environmental message about the other inhabitants of our planet.
