Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this DVD is a funny, enjoyable family movie with good messages about overcoming failure and following your own instincts. Animal conservation gets center stage. Talking animals edge towards mild crudeness for laughs. The teenaged daughter of the president sneaks out to an unsupervised party where drinking takes place.

Sexual Content

Subtle flirtation between two characters.

Violence

Animals pelt a human character with food and bird poop.

Language

Not applicable

Social Behavior

Two strong themes play out in movie: trying harder when you've failed, and finding your own way of doing things. Given the title, the efforts made to save endangered animals and understand domestic ones should be no surprise. Occasional crude humor from talking animals.

Consumerism

A bottle of Perrier water in a party shot.

Drugs / Tobacco / Alcohol

An underage character sneaks out to a party where unsupervised kids drink what one presumes is beer from plastic cups.
