Zookeeper at Honolulu Zoo

Overall, what did you think?

I thought it was great. It was every bit as good as the first one. Maybe a bit slow at the start but it picked up right away.

On a scale of 1-4 stars, what would you rate this movie?

★ ★★ 1/2. Almost four,the only thing that cost it a four, is I’ve seen better kids movies. It’s very family friendly fun for everybody.
