animals escape zoo and end up on a ship

Rating: 8/10 (23 November 2006)

I like this movie because it is humorous, and it generally is upbeat. It is a creative film. Both children and adults enjoy it. The humor is more for adults than for children. My favorite parts are when the lemurs sing and dance. Since I watched this at home, I got up and danced. My 11 year old and 7 year old nieces joined in.
I wish that there was a video with just these lemurs singing and dancing for a few hours, but I can always buy the DVD or tape and rewind. Dancing along is good exercise. This would be so much better than using an exercise video.
The penguins and the giraffe are entertaining to watch too.
It seems silly that a zebra considers riding the subway, but in a cartoon full of talking animals, I expect things like this. I find it odd that escaped zoo animals are trying to find people because my experience with escaped wild animals is that they put more value on their freedom than on their liking or need for humans.
One of the animals looks similar to the Puss and Boots in one of the Shrek films and has that same adorable look.
