A great story of friendship and survival where an animal escapes from the zoo and his friends go to pick it up but everything goes wrong. The plot and their misadventures are quite original and the whole thing is rendered very well and generates great fun

Lots of fun - I saw it with the grandkids and a theater full of families. a great time was had by all. technically speaking, one might say that the story was 'uneven' in places (can you say *that* about animated films? (-:) -- I mention this because there has been some needlessly negative feedback here at IMDb. On the whole, though, the presentation is quick-paced, bright, happy, and delightful to the eyes and ears. There are also some unique, quirky scenes (i.e. animals nonchalantly getting on a subway?) - I love to see stuff I haven't seen before. that's not easy to do, you know - by all accounts, "everything has been done on film already.." - (if you catch my drift). so, give credit when due! enjoy!(-:

Okay, I don't really like Dreamworks because their movies usually try to fit in with the teens and be cool. Example, the hippo. But I still thought this movie was cute and slightly funny.The giraffe or zebra, I don't remember tries to escape the zoo. Everyone gets stranded on an island and they try to escape the island! Then a ship comes in with the penguins to try to rescue them. In the end, they find out it was out of fuel.I didn't remember much of the movie since I saw this about a month before Hurricane Katrina, but I still remember that this movie was cute and appropriate for all ages! I recommend this movie for everyone!
