QUICK TAKE:
Drama: A ragtag group of jungle animals sets out for Delhi in hopes of convincing Parliament to stop the deforestation of their home.
PLOT:
Yuvi (voice of TARA STRONG) is a leopard cub who wants to grow up to be just like his dad, Sultan (voice of CARY ELWES), the king of the Indian jungle. But sudden human development is encroaching on their land and when the heavy machinery arrives, Sultan tries to fight back but is shot dead in the process. By default, Yuvi's mother, Begum (voice of VANESSA WILLIAMS), becomes the new leader and encourages all animals to leave the jungle for the safety of other environs.

Bajrangi (voice of CARLOS ALAZRAQUI), an angry monkey, says they should stay and fight, and thinks he and his small army of two other monkeys, Bharela (voice of ROGER CRAIG SMITH) and Marela (voice of ROGER CRAIG SMITH), can handle the men. Others, such as Bagga the bear (voice of BRAD GARRETT) think that's foolhardy at best. But Yuvi comes up with another idea once he hears Pigeon (voice of CHRISTOPHER LLOYD) state there is one animal who speaks the language of man.

And that is Alex the parrot (voice of TOM KENNY) who lives in the city in a cage with his human owner, happily ensconced in the creature comforts of human life. Realizing he could tell the developers that deforestation is destroying their home, Yuvi, Begum and Bagga set out to get Alex's help, although Bajrangi isn't convinced that's the best solution.

Nonetheless, they eventually get Alex to join them and they all then set out on a long road trip to Delhi where they hope to convince Parliament to put an end to the destruction of their homeland.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
Animated movies featuring talking animals are usually a draw for younger kids, but this movie hasn't received a lot of publicity, so it's hard to say if they even know about it.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: PG
For violence and menacing action, rude humor, suggestive content and thematic elements.


I have subscribed to ScreenIt for more than a decade. I check in every week to take advantage of their amazing services. Not only does their site provide a glimpse of exactly what content a movie offers, I've found the “Our Take” reviews and ratings for each movie to be right on the money every single time. I've referred dozens of friends to this service because my #1 resource for deciding whether or not to show a movie to my kids, or to see one myself, is ScreenIt.com!

I signed up to get Screen It weekly reviews a long time ago, when my kids were young and I wanted to know more about movies before we went to a theater or rented. Now one child is in law school, other in undergraduate, and I still read the weekly Screen Its! It helps me know what my husband and I want to see or rent, and what to have waiting at home that we all will enjoy when my "kids" come home. I depend on Screen It reviews. They usually just present the facts and let me decide if the movie is appropriate or of interest for my family and me. Thank you for providing that service, Screen It!

I have 4 children who are now in college. I signed up for Screen It when my children were pre-teenagers. Often my children would ask to see a movie with a friend and I wished I could preview the movie prior to giving permission. A friend told me about ScreenIt.com and I found it to be the next best thing to previewing a movie. The amount of violence, sexual content, or language were always concerns for me and my husband as we raised innocent kids with morals. We constantly fought the peer pressure our kids received to see films that in our opinion were questionable. With the evidence we received at Screen It, our kids couldn't even fight us when we felt a film may have been inappropriate for them to watch. Thank you, Screen It. Continue to make this helpful service available to everyone, but especially the young parents.

Screenit.com is an amazing resource for parents, educators, church groups or anyone who wants to make an informed decision whether a movie is suitable for their viewing. The reviews and content descriptions are so detailed I am mystified how the reviewers can put them together.

I love screen It! I don't know what I would do without it. It is well worth the membership. Before we take our son to the movies we check it out on screen it first. Thank you SO much for making it. Keep up the good work & keep 'em coming!!!
