User Review
Pollution in itself
Rating: 1/10
A film so bad it has forced me to spend time creating an IMDb account
to warn others about it.
Animals United should not require a lengthy review or synopsis to
achieve this aim. Despite being a feature clearly made for under 12s,
the film has a brutal environmental and political agenda of
breathtaking ambition. This is presented with so little nuance or charm
that, despite all the perfectly good arguments for ecological action,
you somehow despise the animals who star.
The plot is paper thin, chaotic and occasionally plain nonsense. For
instance, the plot insists environmental conferences achieve nothing
but a conference of animals which tails off into a juvenile eulogy for
a fantasy world somehow inspires the action required. Not even my three
year old niece fell for that level of reasoning.
Worst of all, I watched the entire film and, despite sharing the
immediate area of the cinema with around twelve children of various
ages, can honestly say they did not even smile once, let alone laugh.
It is devoid of any entertainment value. I think you get the point.
I wonder how the makers of this film can live with the amount of energy
being wasted to give it distribution...
