This flick is a spin off from a TV series for primary school kids. The protagonists are a group of young animal lovers who want to become zoo keepers. These characters include the usual range of stereotypes from dumb blonde to nerd. Their task in this film is to travel to a game reserve in South Africa and combat poachers. Naturally, things go awry, which results in situations that may be exiting or funny to kids in the target age group.
The plot is of course totally unrealistic and full of holes, but that shouldn't be a problem in a kid's movie. What does bother me, though, is the archaic, if not slightly racist, depiction of black Africans in the film. Children's films from the 21st century ought not reinforce such silly stereotypes.
