Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Sarita Rafferty 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.

Reuben Johnson this, well if you can call it a actual "movie" well my little sister decided to watch this movie and i was going for a ride alright. I actually witnessed the whole entire movie with both my eyes, and man, my eyes when from clean to black and green S#*%! the movie was obviously on a small budget but why waste money and time trying to make a film. this is what you were to call a week starter for a animated film, not a full movie! every second of this torture is just rubbish!! the story is just unusual and lame, the characters are horrifying, the animation is the worst and i cannot believe this came out in 2012. I've watched Food Fight and I have to say Food Fight was much more better than this ugly film. (SPOILER) in one scene the animals were playing soccer or something, they won a game and that black little cat was jumping up and down and there was no sound, like not nothing at all, no cheering sounds as i expected. this is the worst animated movie i have ever seen.

TheLittleSongbird That's a word you rarely see me use, except for movies so bad that it's impossible to find any entertainment or value in it. And Life's a Jungle is one such movie. Nothing good can be said about the animation, if you say it is poor you are being too kind. The colours are flat, the characters have nightmarish facial expressions are move so aimlessly it looks like they're moving in slow motion and the backgrounds are from start to finish blocky, as stiff as you could possibly get and looks like fast forward but significantly slowed down. The soundtrack has to be one of the worst of any animation, that it's plodding and with not one memorable moment is one thing but to incorporate sound effects that are so bizarre-sounding and used to both overdone effect and in all the wrong places makes things even worse. Life's a Jungle's script consists of humour so juvenile children and adults would feel their intelligence is being insulted, dialogue that is unfunny and awkward-sounding and jokes that are completely ruined by drawn-out pacing(that's including the most inspired of them, the flashback of a character's version of play fetch). The overlong pauses are extremely grating after a while. The story moves at a snail's pace and is so paper-thin it's almost plot-less, making the already too-long length twice as long. If you're looking for any charm or heart look elsewhere, you won't get either here. The characters are obnoxious and manage to be even flatter than the script, and the voice acting is terrible, not only do the voice actors sound bored but a lot of them don't fit at all with their characters. If you imagine a big dog having the voice of the smallest kitten, that's the effect the mismatching of the voices has. To conclude, execrable stuff with no redeeming merits and will provide absolutely no entertainment for anybody watching. 0/10 Bethany Cox

David Brailsford 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.

Kevin Hartford I could tell this little animated flick was made on a low budget. It was definitely not a big studio film, so I didn't have major expectations. I think we get so used to all the super high quality Pixar level films. Those films cost up to $80 million to make. This film is not in that category. With that in mind, I sat back and watched my kid enjoying it. He laughed at the cute dog Pip, and he was glued to the TV. He wanted to watch it several times, it's really made for young kids. The film had some funny gags, cute moments and a good lesson for the kids. It teaches about friendship and getting along. The hyenas were characters, pulling pranks on Pip, and I like their interaction. There are a lot of other cute animals in this too, different from other jungle movies.
