Let’s enjoy a movie!

I’ve never imagined the movie is so interesting. There are 64 kinds of animals in it. After watching the movie, I learned more about animals. I would recommend this movie to those animal lovers.
—John
I have seen many cartoons of this kind, but the plots(情节）are surprisingly funny and I love the sweet voice in it. My brother and I just couldn’t help laughing from the beginning to the end.
—David
This movie is so well made. I went to see it with my 5-year-old son last Sunday afternoon. I love the beautiful music while my son loves the rabbit police officer Judy very much. It shows that small animals like Judy can also do serious work.
—Nancy
