Pip thought he had it all, a pampered lifestyle, huge mansion and adoring owners, that is until the Taylor family booked an African safari. Pip finds himself separated from his clan, which forces him to reluctantly adapt to a new way of life in the jungle. As he bridges the divide between feuding wildlife he learns that caviar and manicures can never bring the same happiness as friendship.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This is just a joke, this film is the worst piece of shit. The animation is just repetitive and uses everything over and over again, no real effort has been in this film, just a terrible hunk of garbage, the animation is also just choppy and this is just one the worst films ever in the history of man-kind.

This movie is one of the best movies ever created, if not the best movie ever created. It has more story depth than Schindler's list, and it has a better perspective of crime than the Godfather. This movie will make you feel emotions like you've never felt before. With, action, romance and comedy, this movie will truly blow you away.

To start off, this was on of the most brilliant animated films ever made. It truly inspired me and left me begging for more.SIKEThis was one of the most atrocious films I have ever witnessed. I'm deeply sorry to all the children who had to sit through almost 2 HOURS of pure torture.First off, the pace of this movie is way too slow. The animation is just HORRID. This came out in 2012... this is just sad. I think my 4 year old cousin could have made a better movie.The camera angles are just...Ugh Pip is just way to straight faced. He had Zero facial expressions and was just plain annoying.Story wise, this movie just doesn't add up. And the ending. agh the ending. The whole movie Pip, the dog, dreams of getting his back messaged by "nanny numnums" and watch kung fu movies. But when given the choice to go home or stay, he stays in Africa. What did the baby panther (who is basically his slave throughout the film) make you change your mind.His so called "friends" Bubu & Kuku (who look like the Cheetos guy) only prank him, such as, putting poop on his face while he is sleeping or making him use the restroom in an ant hill. And they later blame pip for their camp being destroyed. But don't worry, its all OK, Bubu calls him "great sharmin" (Charmin Ultra soft?).. That makes everything better! In conclusion, I feel that all copies of this film should be burned and used to heat a prison. I would recommend this movie as a punishment for the prisoners but that would be too inhumane.

I know this is made for kids, but really? The animation is horribly choppy, the story felt more like it was made for a video game (it would almost be forgivable in the form of a game).The very cliché story follows the story of a pampered pooch who is forced into unfamiliar territory and forced to adapt. He makes "friends" with a panther, her cub and two hyenas. The hyena agree to protect him if he proves to be of value to them. He proceeds to help them with their problem getting water and the is later accepted as he comes up with a ways to get them water while avoiding their enemies the gators... the gators respond by enlisting the help of their allies the rhinos... Why the gators were hoarding the water was anyones guess though. Ultimately the dog overcomes numerous challenges, has several flashbacks that drag out the torture and makes the choice that he likes his new life with his friends (who let him leave to go off alone after his one plan backfires) once he unites all the animals he's met... his family from New England promising to visit each year. Now the big issues, Animation... characters look like they are moving in slow motion, the sloth is supposed to be slow, but do to the bad animation you probably wouldn't know that as he moves the same speed as everyone else. The physics in this universe is very foreign to our own making it harder to relate to the characters problems.Sound effects is the next big issue. They are very badly done, also the sound effects characters make don't fit their voices at all. Pip talks like a British gentlemen but makes Scooby sound effects. The baby panther doesn't make cub sounds... it makes generic baby sounds.Story is a kids story, not a very good one, but not the worst story either, I won't call it on thatbut that coupled with the other problems makes it almost painful to watch.I won't recommend this one for the average viewer unless they have a friend with a younger child who you really want to punish said parent for some reason or you teach a computer animation class and want a "what not to do" movie to show before a Dreamworks film.
