What a great movie. Surprised I didn't hear about this one. It's a happy movie with enough drama and depth to make the show work. It was a very uplifting movie that is re-watchable, which is a lot more than I can say about other recent releases.

Such a beautiful, dulcet movie about family and love. Also in love with the soundtrack. Jonsi can do some amazing things.

Very good surprise, a well-balanced family movie that avoided all the usual clichés from the genre and the common overload of cheap sentiments.

It probably won't blow your mind however watching this movie was a refreshing moment.

What a great heartwarming, family film about a father and his two children who go and buy a zoo with a new home after the recent death of the mother to rejuvenate things. The lead up and plot development is quick, but instructive as it quickly gets in to the thick of the plot and gives the audience a great pleasurable film that is heartwarming. All the characters are casted really well and they’re very likable for the audience.

Is it the **best** film ever? No. It is, however, my go to cheer-up film and for that, it's one of the best for me.

This movie was a nice surprise, I think it was a really good heart warming movie, I was really impressed by Maggie Elizabeth Jones (Rosie Mee)
