A reasonable enough kiddie-pic for the holidays: a German-made, eco-themed 3D animation that brings together a selection of the planet's fluffiest animals in a general assault on the most evil creature of all... man. There's only the vaguest stab at explaining how the inhabitants of entirely different continents end up in the middle of Africa, and the relentlessly twee mood is disrupted by an impassioned anti-human diatribe by Vanessa Redgrave (in the form of an ancient Galapagos tortoise). But it looks very nice, even if the clunky dialogue and disjointed plot would never have been allowed through by Pixar.
