Deutschland 2008-2010, Animationsfilm

Synopsis

Animals United

The animals in the African savannah are confused: where
has all the water gone? It should have come gushing in
from a mountain canyon a long time ago. Their thirst and
worries continue to grow, especially since the only little
water hole is being closely guarded by ferocious buffaloes
and rhinos. The brave little meerkat Billy and the peaceloving
lion Socrates take off in search of water. They
encounter the Gallic rooster Charles, who single-handedly
led a polar bear, a kangaroo, a Tasmanian devil, and two
Galapagos turtles to Africa, where they are now hoping for
a better life in the Okavango Delta. But even this last
reserve has been taken over by humans. The hotel owner
Smith had a huge dam built and is wasting all the water
for a luxury hotel. And of all places, it is here that politicians are holding a conference about the protection of the
environment. So, the animals answer to this with their
own conference: elephant Angie calls on everything that
can run, fly, trample or crawl to defend themselves, in
what becomes the kick-off to a turbulent offensive full of
beastly tricks.
