This film feels like it's playing in slow motion. Maybe that's why the running time is an absolutely RIDICULOUS 1hr 40 minutes!
Seriously, everything that could be bad about a movie is bad here. Voice acting, story, writing, dialogue, pacing, music, animation... Everything is wrong.
The music. Oh god the music. It's bizarre, and it all sounds like really bad stock music. The animation is the worst thing I think though. It's got some of the ugliest, wonkiest, most disturbing and uncanny visuals I've ever seen.
So that's why it's so distressing that it all drags by soooooo slowly... A walking scene that lasts for 40 seconds, reaction shots that linger after the talking is over, movements so slow that they look like they're underwater... It's painful.
That would be bad enough if it only lasted for 45 minutes or so, like most of these animated monstrosities. But 1hr 40 is just torture.
That's longer than 12 Angry Men. Or for another animated film, it's longer than My Neighbour Totoro and Grave of the Fireflies. That's what a movie can achieve within that time limit. Instead, what we are given in this movie, is LITERALLY an hour and a half of utter nonsense with no relevance to anything. It's not an exaggeration to say there's only around maybe 4 scenes of actual 'plot', and the rest of the running time is filled up with montages and bizarre party scenes which are stretched out with that frustratingly slow editing.
There's a lot (A LOT) of other things wrong with this (the voice acting in particular is hilarious but also embarrassing) but I have to stop thinking about this film now because it's making me hysterical again and the laughter is starting to hurt.
Overall this is the 2nd worst animated film I've ever seen and I'd give it a 0/10 if I could.

This movie is an utter masterpiece. Like any piece of art, it decides opinions. Some hate it, some love it. The Movie portrays harsh social commentary in a smart, satirical way. The Protagonist, Pip, however often pronounced as "poo" is a muscular Jack Russel, aka. a jacked Russell. He goes from his pampered, secured life as a pullover wearing doggie, to having to survive in the wild. An epic adventure akin to Raiders of the Lost arc, but with the emotions of Pixar's Coco.
I don't want to spoiler too much, but there are Hippos in the movie that are disguised as Rhinos. This of course is to be understood as a critique of the affects of modern commercialism on our society.
I feel very sorry for everyone who doesn't understand this deeper meaning.
Or the poor souls who actually watched this piece.
It's sucks when I can't even describe this movie. I am more offended by the fact that My friends thought I would like this than I would be if a homeless man grabbed my privates on the train, announced that two of were to be married and then successfully argued in court that said proclamation constitutes a verbal contract. Furthermore, if I were to marry aforementioned bum and subsequently be cheated on multiple times by my forced same sex partner, I would still be less offended by that that I am by the fact that I would like this movie. If GOD himself came down to Earth and announced to the world that I am the creation he is least proud off (including Lucifer) and I am to walk the Earth for eternity for the expressed purpose of demonstrating to the rest of creation what happens when you have the misfortune of being a loathsome wretched creation so hideous that you are an affront o the creator, I would be less offend than I am by the fact that My friends though I would like this. AND YOU SOCIETY SHOULD BE ASHAMED FOR ALLOWING THIS TO Exist! In other words if you see life's a jungle Africa's most wanted ANYWHERE do NOT watch it. Consider this review a life saver.
This has to be one of the worst mockbusters I've seen. The animation is awkward and looks like a low-budget game made for the PlayStation 2, which is a bad thing considering that this was released in 2012, the jokes sucked and were immature, and I couldn't bring myself to care for any of the characters or the plot. Go watch the Madagascar movies instead of this cheap, soulless cash grab.
