In my opinion, and it is not my opinion only, the producers of this German animated movie took a great risk which was definitely worth taken. What was the risk? Make a production in which the stress is placed on the message and not on the visual impact and therefore create the perfect opportunity for fans of brainless movies to disparage it. The message is pretty clear and it doesn't refer to Africa only (as you can tell from the movie as well), but to the entire planet Earth: in order to create needless luxuries, the humankind destroys natural habitats and forces animals to struggle for survival in a land which is actually theirs. That being said, the movie is not at all bad and the animations, together with the plot, are completely believable. Plus, the 3-D technology introduces you into the story at high speed. All in all, the movie is worth being watched and it may even bring tears into your eyes.
