stop, stop!Those who expect animal conference a new implementation of the Youth classic book by Erich Kaestner , let it in advance, so that is not likely. was
animal animated films in recent years, many ( A Bug's Life (1998), Ice Age (2002), Madagascar (2005), ...), this one is one - and certainly not the best .
The plot is quickly told: In the African valley is missing Water, although it has long been time for his return. Meerkat Billy finds out that a dam the water held captive, built by remarkable animals who call themselves men.
visit and help get the African animals (see picture below) of some exotics from other continents (polar bear, kangaroo, bird, Galapagos tortoises and a Tasmanian devil). In explaining the scheduled conference, the turtles have the irresponsible behavior of people and so everyone is pulling for the fight against the dam, which is successfully destroyed, so that the water is back in the valley. In a cinematic postscript, the animals still go to New York - what they are doing there remains uncertain.
The characters are cute and funny, as is usual for this genre. In character, they remain truly flat, act impulsively and haphazardly that manages the company, seems pure luck has little to do with their beliefs or purposeful behavior.
children, the central figures in Kastner's book, come here only in the form of a girl who complains about the profit-seeking behavior and the lion shall caress Socrates times.
There is overall situation comedy, the mishaps and slip-ups that Billy and Co. take back that will surely serve to inspire especially the smaller audience. But the fact remains that history-positive and meaningless, the criticism to the climate-damaging and destructive behavior of mankind is incidental, and thus a chance squandered, a new generation gently introduce the topic of environmental and climate protection.
Pity Kästner template pity that carry this film, this title may.
