Night of the Zoopocalypse

Gracie is a timber wolf in a zoo. As part of a pack, she has never been outside her enclosure. One night, a meteorite crashes into the zoo. A bunny eats the small rock and it is zoopocalypse. The animals soon get turned into zombies. While escaping from a zombie, Gracie gets tranq by a zookeeper and thrown into the vet station. The zombies attack and Gracie escapes with mountain lion Dan.

This is a Canadian-French-Belgian co-production. The animation is good and brightly-colored at a sub-top level. It is family-friendly. I would like the animal group in the vet station to stay together. At least, they should switch the distribution between the two groups. I would like Gracie's group to be bigger and more time given to the other animals. This is kid-friendly fun.

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.

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.

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!

Night of the Zoopocalypse is probably a perfect example of parodying the horror genre while also paying tribute to it as well. I loved how it used classic horror movie tropes, subverting them for kids, and balancing it with plenty of humor, heart and creativity. I also like its message of unity and faith, and how to cooperate with others. The filmmakers did an amazing job putting in a lot of passion and faith in this film, and it's shown in the final product. With a slight lack of good original ideas in the film industry, especially in Hollywood, it's really amazing to see an original story become popular. In conclusion, Night of the Zoopocalypse is a miraculously fun horror-comedy, and I highly recommend checking it out.
