I love this movie so much

Sadly Over-hyped

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This animated film is about animals not dogs but the film set in Africa all the animals around the world from anywhere are wondering what happened to the water. And the water had completely disappeared billy a meerkat and his pal Socrates the lion and the animal-animals are now arguing and fighting over their water with the help of their friends giselle a giraffe, and an elephant angie embark on amazing adventure-filled journey to find water but they meet a motley crew of special animals to Africa a polar bear a kangaroo a koala a tasmanian devil and two lovable young married couples turtles. They soon find out that the water is being held by a people luxury hotel, forcing all the animals to team and are about to join forces in order to survive and break the dam to save their little animal family and friends!

"Die Konferenz der Tiere" or "Animals United" is an animated film directed by Reinhard Klooss and Holger Tappe. They are joined by writer Oliver Huzly and these three also worked on new version of Urmel movies (Augsburg Puppenkiste) before this film. It is about a group of wild animals including meerkats, turtles, rhinos, monkeys, giraffes, a cock and many more who struggle due to lack of water. This is the central plot, but I felt the film succeeded much more with its sub-plots. I thought the two old turtles were the highlight of the film. The scenes with their deaths and the comets was just amazingly sad. And the voices fit them nicely too. I also liked the monkey who sort-of was with the humans initially. I did not really like the cock, even if I love Christoph Maria Herbst and I could have done without this character. In general, occasionally, it felt as if the movie could have been better if they had simply included less animal characters and maybe elaborated a bit more on these. The small background stories did not work so well for everybody as they did with the turtles. For example, the whole rhino-buffalo fight did nothing really for me.I did not know too many from the voice cast, really only Kalkofe and Herbst (Wixxxer reunion) and I think I heard about Fritsch too in the past. The English dub has the great Stephen Fry which should be reason enough for you to watch it if you're American or British. The father-son relationship between the meerkats was a great idea and I wish they elaborated a bit more on it, maybe by telling us about the two and how they lived together in the past. When the young meerkat is happy in the end that daddy saved the day it felt a bit out of place. Such a shame they did not develop this idea further. It could have lifted the film up a lot. The insect plague at some point almost had something biblical just like the whole animal gathering scenes and how they stayed in peace with each other for a while to find a solution to their thirst problem. The march to the UN building was okay as well.I think as a whole this film may be more suitable for younger audiences, but I believe thanks to its morale it can also make a good watch for adults who like animated movies. I don't think it is half as bad as some people say it is. Some animals were more interesting than others sure, but there were no extremely negative standouts and same goes for the animation. German singer Xavier Naidoo does a good song for the closing credits, but I am a bit biased here I guess as I like his voice in general. I thought the song fit the film nicely. On a completely random note, the final scene at the closing credits with the mole reminded me a bit of the same from "Monsters University". Anyway, solid movie. Recommended.

My kid loves it, I watched 1k times already, so I decided to write a review.from an animation point of view, it is really well done, the music is perfect and the dialogs are really funny!My kid of course still doesn't understand everything and it focus on the animations.I really suggest it to every parents with kids below 5 years, it is really a good one.My kid likes the bufalos and all the other animals, so it entertain himself for a while watching this nice cartoon.

Un-factual and full of ridiculous accusations. Essentially, Humans are evil and trying to takeover the world and destroy all animals... what a load of crap. The animals are looking for water because a dam has been built... Random animals from around the earth who are suffering because of the evil humans inadvertently happen to gather on the same continent. Add in the scenes of spewing exhaust and oil tanker spills - that supposedly have covered the earth... makes humans evil buffet eating mongrels. Oh but the kid in the movie is saving them all... then the animals show up in the cities to "make us accountable for our actions" ???? Oh but the Koala knockin one back in the pub is fine... even funny? We continued to watch it with our kids so we could have a discussion about propaganda films and rhetoric. Animals partying around the waterhole is no more factual than the propaganda infused in this film. This film is a detriment to true environmental responsibility. Crack pot environmentalism like this does nothing to support true environmental needs of our earth. Otherwise, a complete waste of animation time... Reinhard needs a new job...
