Subtle way weaving many problems of today's world into this modern comedy.
Problems eg income inequality; excessive power of less than 1% in population; lack of social mobility & justice even for white collar workers shrinking middle class; overly land driven capitalistic economy; and more.
Very smooth and natural flow of the plot, with both laughters (and some earned tears) in a good mix.

Yes it certainly feels that way and the tone may be too varied, from earnest too completely silly and anything in between. But when it is funny (humans in animal costumes), it really is laugh out loud funny. Maybe I was in the right mood, or maybe this just has a certain quality to it. I'll opt to give it the benefit of the doubt and say it has quality. Certain things remain predictable, but the movie playing almost everything as straight as possible really lends to the heightening of the humor it has within. I'm more used to the thriller and action output that comes from South Korea, but this was a welcome change - one that really can work for you - with a really neat and nice message.
The one and only fun part is to imagine what I could have done in such situation. Long movie gave me enough time to keep on thinking. That was the only fun part...
There is a true story of rebuilded zoo in Japan(Asahikawa) which is somewhat similar to how this story ends. So, I expected a bit more for this movie but didn't worked out for me. Especially, it's not that entertaining how rich people wins it all in Korea.

There is nothing so special about this movie. The movie is bit boring but I must say, It comes with an unique concept. SERIOUSLY! Who ever think of presenting fake animals in a zoo? Though I found the movie boring and too long at the first, the middle part is full of fun elements. Espeically , their practising part and presenting themselves as real animals is really funnyy.
Besides,comedy scenes I didn't find anything interesting. Again the ending seems rushed.
The artists did a amazing job,can't blame them for story. Moreover, they did the costume part,which are really heavy. So,all credit goes to them for presenting a worst story with a better view.
So,better not to watch.

Start off extremely well with a lot of likeable characters to root for.
I laughed quite a lot. The story is funny but also cute and hear-warming.
The ending didn't really convince me and seemed rushed but also drawn out.
