Colorful and First Rate Graphics!

Rating: Null/10 (11 August 2011)

Animated movies like this one has supplied both quality for families and audiences alike. The story of a few animals at the Central Park Zoo in New York City takes an interesting turn when they are shipped off to a preserve in Kenya but things don't go according to plan. David Schwimmer's voice as Melman reminds you of his character of Ross on Friends. Melman the Giraffe is neurotic and hypochondriac. Jada Pinket Smith's voice is the hippo. Chris Rock's voice is the Zebra who makes a daring escape in Grand Central Station. Ben Stiller's voice is Alex the Lion who is surprisingly dramatic at the right moments in the film. The animation is first rate with almost realistic looking scenes of the city and the island. The story has some weaknesses but the characters are delightful and the kids will love it.
