Plot

Benjamin is a man who has a son and a daughter and recently lost his wife. In his attempt to get himself out of his deadly despair, he buys a big house only realizing that it had a zoo within it. Benjamin’s daughter seems the happiest with this deal and gets excited. 

On the other hand, his son is utterly disappointed and becomes sad. The zoo, however, needs renovation for which all the staff needs to start working well. The zoo is soon found to be running very low on its monetary funds and the only way to regain its fund is if the zoo comes back to its glory. 

The family along with the staff strive hard to help the zoo open to the public and overcome the obstacles that come on its way. Getting back the zoo to life can be seen as metaphor for helping Benjamin get back his life back in robust shape.

This movie is extremely cute, lovable and adorable. It is for sure the best kind of family movies there are out there. The director seems sincere and endearing in his effort to make a movie that has a lot of depth to it along with emotions and heart. The writing of the story and performances by actors is commendable.

It is successful in keeping  a smile on the face of the audiences throughout the movie due to the appearances of adorable animals and also the kids in the movie. This movie is a great watch not just for kids but also for adults who enjoy cute and adorable animal movies. 

Verdict:

This movie is a fun film to watch with friends and family because it will never cease to put you in that realm of adoration for the movie and the animals in it.
