I am happy this movie failed.


After the hude success of 'The March of the penguins', I could tell that this was just to try to copy off the very successful movie for the money. The movie looked dumb from the trailers. I hope most of you agree with me?

I would be dissapointed if it fail, I would guess it would be another movie that tried to do something different and wasn't supported by audiences who prefer Grown Ups 2 for example and they bitch about the movie afterwards still they pay for it. I was in complete shock that someone was brave enough to use this style of filmmaking for an animated movie for kids.

you must be kidding me, its refreshing for animated "comedy" to try something different, the camera crew gets attacked by the cannibals too...

it s a parody on the (not so shaky) handicam doco wannabees

very very good movie......not enough of other animals is my only gripe
