Night of the Zoopocalypse

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 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.

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.

This movie was great fun to watch! It had enough suspense, scares and quirky comedy to make it great for adults. Poot was so much fun to watch. The mutants were so gross and visually amazing (weird enough to make me uncomfortable, but so different from what is usually put out there that I couldn't look away).

Some scenes had us at the edge of our seats, while others had us laughing so hard that we forgot that this story was inspired by Clive Barker. Poot is our family's favourite, stealing the spotlight whenever she was on screen.

It is so refreshing to see something different out there, looking forward to what the minds behind this masterpiece put out next.
