Uninspired animated film, kids will probably enjoy it

Rating: Null/10 (4 February 2009)

This is a mediocre Animation feature. It begins well and there are some genuinely amusing scenes in New York, showing the blasé attitude of New Yorkers to the escaped animals. The crazy penguins are worth some laughs as well. Unfortunately, the script stalls once we reach the titular island. The voice work is undistinguished, and I quickly grew tired of the antics of the four central characters. Kids will probably enjoy the film, specially Sacha Baron Cohen who gets some amusing lines. This is a watchable but uninspired film, probably more suited for children than adults.
Overall 5/10
