Night of the Zoopocalypse

I took my two Littles (7 and 9) to see Zoopocalypse on Monday. The characters were all very cute and my kids loved the interactions between all the animals (especially Poot, the Pygmy hippo).

The music is nice and atmospheric and the Gumbies (gummy zombies that some animals turn into) were still menacing enough for my children without ever crossing over into genuine scary zombie movie material.

The lesson of working together in order to succeed vs being selfish and caring only about what happens to ourselves is much needed today.

Hard to believe this came from the same mind that brought us the horrors of Hellraiser and Nightbreed!

Great for a "not so scary" family movie night.

Review for anyone trying to find a movie for their kids to watch: Night of the Zoopocalypse is an entertaining and funny animated movie with good lessons on loyalty and not being afraid of people who are different. And the horror elements make it feel unique. We don't normally see that subgenre in kids movies.

Score: 8 stars

Review for adults hoping to enjoy a movie for which they aren't the demographic: this movie is both harmless and forgettable. It feels like a weaker version of many other animated movies. Half the comedy works. I doubt many adults will hate or love it.

Score: 5 stars

We really liked this one, hads lots of fun watching it! The zomby animals are very creative and funny, frogs zombies were my favorite. The colors of the movie looked very Halloween-ish, loved it!

We were two adults watching so not sure how scary the story might be for kids.

Pros:

• great visuals and very creative monsters design
• i really liked the animation style, animals looks very plyshy and soft
• loved the idea of zombie animals at the zoo

Cons:

• story writing feels a bit chompy at times and the ending felt little rushed

Enjoyed it in general, will try to introduce it to my niece once it hits streaming.

This movie was an absolute blast-creative, hilarious, and full of surprises! There were moments that made me jump, moments that had me laughing out loud, and overall, my kids and I had a fantastic time. It's the kind of film I'd happily rewatch. Xavier the lemur, a French film buff, was such a standout-instantly one of my favorites! It's refreshing to see filmmakers take risks and create something truly unique.

As a Clive Barker fan, I was intrigued going in, and this definitely delivered! The blend of horror and humor was spot-on, making for an unforgettable experience. I can't wait to recommend it to friends!

We just saw this movie we were the only people in the theater. My kids loved it it was a last minute decision we never saw a trailer or knew anything about it. My 16 and 10 year old loves it. This would be a good first time scary movie.

Grandma says if you could imagine bringing a six year old or younger.

Be prepared for your kid... To not want bathes To not want gummies To not want to go to the zoo.

Great movie!

It was great story line ..my sixteen year old though there could be a love story in it .. but I didn't see it. I could see this being popular at Halloween time!

Need a second movie.
