Great in places, weak in others. Unfinished

Rating: 5/10 (10 July 2005)

This is an incomplete movie. There are some really funny bits - the penguins rock! The story is of a group of Zoo animals in New York, who end up going got the "wild". They succeed a bit more than they mean to, and end up on a wild shore line. The fundamental thing is the inter-relationships. Which are reasonable. Overall the film moves pretty well, the quality is first rate - watch Alex's hair, it changes from groomed and really fluffy at the start and gets more wild throughout the movie. Good stuff. The plot is good until the end at which point it seems the storyboard was dropped and forgotten. It doesn't end it just stops. Sad. If they had kept it going a bit more - without the obvious sequel - I would have been happier. The music is good (again not great). Fun, but incomplete
