When I first watched this movie, I was in fourth grade and I'll admit, I loved it. It had a great environmental message and some good original songs to help move along the plot. However, now that I'm in 8th grade, I realize its cons outweigh its pros, but I still don't think its a terrible movie.Bad qualities: The animation is less than impressive for something from the same year as Madagascar 3, Brave, and Wreck-it-Ralph. The scene where the monkey envisions various how to murder the parrot with a chainsaw and other weapons is extremely disturbing. It rips off elements of other animated films: the big cat's father dying and then coming back as a ghost to deliver important messages to his son is too much like The Lion King, as are the evil hyenas. The concept of a parrot raised as a pet being dumped in the wild not knowing how to fly is a lot like Rio. THE PARROT HAS TEETH.Good qualities: It has a positive environmental message that isn't "humans are evil" (which is the case in Animals United). The original songs are mostly pretty good, my favorite being "Delhi Safari", which the jungle animals use to persuade Alex the parrot to join them on their quest. It also gets a reprise.So yeah, I wouldn't really recommend this movie, but overall I don't think its an absolute abomination. Some effort certainly feels put into it at least.

Quick note: i have nothing against peta, they want to protect animals and i'm OK with that *falls through roof* SERIOUSLY!? guess i'm gonna have an entrance gag, *sigh* oh hey! it's me! and today i'm looking at *drumroll* jungle safari, turns out a guy who inspired me to write reviews posted a review on this, if you thought Sam, you were correct, now let us see, jungle safari, still better then wolf children am i right? Oh! i forgot, i'm watching wolf children again to see if i was wrong, anyway the movie starts with a lion cub talking about something, but since i have no heart i didn't cry at all, even at the death, seriously i don't think i ever cried at a death in a movie, turns out he fought his father, then a song then the father dies, they go to Delhi to get them to stop, they also kidnap a parrot (WITH TEETH) to talk to the humans, after a long crazy trip, a crazy violent bonkers monkey almost kills the parrot and later becomes friends with it, they stop the forest from being destroyed, a park is made from their forest, and it is over, before you ask, why haven't i made a review for some time? i had to have an operation and i didn't feel like it, i also hadn't seen any movies lately so yeah, this movie stole some stuff from other movies such as the dad coming back as a ghost! (lion king?) and yeah, since the dad came back as a ghost here is my ending expansion, the lion or whatever it is gets sent back in time has a child then lion king happens! i'm sorry i'm just done. goodbye!

The movie starts off so innocent- and good. Then takes a turn in a couple clips that really do not follow the film or the "good nature" that I would assume was intended. Most of all, I find it odd that in any culture individuals choose to include adult content, that is not needed, not humorous and provides no-value to the movie. If you want to direct and create an adult movie, with adult humor do- rate it accordingly. If you want to create a children's film, direct the movie around that of a child.I do not support the film and would encourage any parent to review prior to having their child watch. I did not watch it and my 8 and 10 year old let me know that the animals "are getting drunk" and the "f" word is scrambled on one of the characters T-shirts. Awesome!

The animation is very poor, the character movements are very stiff as though it's a slow frame rate. The acting is atrocious. There are scenes that are just plain wrong, like the animals getting stoned by a crowd of people. How on earth that scene got approved I'll never know, it's just just plain weird.I can only assume that it's down to different cultures. So many things don't fit in between the parameters of what you'd call an acceptable kids film.Do yourself a favor and re-watch anything else by Dreamworks, Pixar, Sony Animations or even Bibo Films in France (Monster in Paris) - a wonderful film.Don't believe any of the positive feedbacks, this is a truly poor film.
