Synopsis
In the Okavango Delta, Billy, the little mischievous meerkat, and his best pal Socrates, the friendly vegetarian lion, await the annual flood that's essential to the Delta and all the animals living there. However, the flood never came and the animals are dying soon without water.

So, in order to prove to his son Junior that he is not a screwball loser, he set off in search for water with Socrates.

On their journey, they meet a truly wild and funny bunch of animals from all over the world, which have flocked to Africa in search of a new home. which includes 1 old tortoise couple who is always lovely dovey,1 polar bear, 1 roaster who sounds like a Casanova haha   , 1 Tasmanian devil and 1 kangaroo who love to drink soft drinks haha. the tasmanian devil always like to do the burp thing that will make everyone faint haha

together with the help of the rest of the animals, they managed to find water =)
 

my view
probably u may think the story is a little boring but this is really a very meaningful movie. it is actually a wakeup call to us! what we have done to earth and made the animals suffer around us. what we do to the nature, the animals and what will soon become of us! i love the last part where the 2 tortoise share with the rest of the animals on what we, humans create pollution and do to them. how they urge the rest of the animals to stand up and fight for their rights. the sad thing is they (2 tortoise) passed away after that. the female then the male. i was quite upset actually.  however, overall the movie is quite interesting and they teaches us to  love the animals, love the earth.  i give 3.5 pop corns for that

here is a trailer for the movie
