Animals United (2010)

Cast - James Corden, Dawn French, Stephen Fry

Genre – Animation, Family

Rating – 3/10

Only watch this if you have children who are entertained by vast amounts of badly animated animals including a vegetarian lion and a polar bear and a rooster living in Africa. 

Plot

The film is set in Africa and is about a group of animals whose lives are threatened when a water shortage occurs. A lone meerkat firstly finds out that the water shortage is down to a hotel which has been developed close to their habitat. He soon informs the rest of the animals who go on a quest to resolve this issue and on the way they face a hunter, a murderous puma and a money obsessed businessman.

Verdict

A very disappointing film. The film lacks any realism throughout because of the hunter trying to kill animals with a missile, a monkey flying a plane and a rooster and an elephant flirting with each other. The film has far too many characters which results in no character development occurring. The humour during the film is very childish which involves bees eating people’s clothes and an unknown animal with really bad wind.  The film also has far too many unnecessary storylines which makes the film far too long for its general plotline. The ending of the film is very unrealistic and unnecessary and does not really contribute to the message that the film is trying to put across. A film with very poor animation which tries too hard to be funny and interesting and does not match up to other children's classics such as Shrek or Ice Age.
