Le delta de l'Okavango, en Afrique, est désormais le dernier paradis terrestre où les animaux peuvent s'ébattre en toute liberté. C'est là que Billy le suricate et son meilleur ami Socrate, un lion végétarien, attendent l'événement de l'année : la crue qui inonde le delta et assure la survie de tous. Pourtant, cette fois, l'eau n'est pas au rendez-vous... Billy va découvrir que si l'eau n'arrive pas, c'est parce qu'un barrage a été construit pour fournir de l'énergie à un complexe hôtelier de luxe ! Le suricate, son copain le lion et tous les animaux réussiront-ils à sauver le delta ? Et s'il était temps d'envoyer aux humains un message d'un nouveau genre... (Metropolitan FilmExport)

Currently, it is completely normal for an animated film to carry an ecological message. Do not do this because you are hurting animals. Children are thus exposed to the idea from a young age that they should behave nicely towards nature, let animals live, and definitely not pollute the environment in any way. "Happy Feet 2" showed the threat of global warming, but it didn't realize that kids probably wouldn't care about that, and adults would ignore such a film. "The Lorax" was more successful and tells children that we should not destroy anything that nature has given us. Out of the three films I will mention in this paragraph, it is definitely the best. Next up is "Hooray for Africa!", a film so heavily focused on ecology that it's glaringly obvious. The poor animals in Africa are in a terrible situation because people have built a dam that holds all the water in one place. The reason? Simple. An amusement resort was built on the dam, which will make a lot of money. Animals can suffer in the meantime. The film boldly states sentences that condemn such human behavior, and the animals are shown as a group that can unite for a greater purpose. The film is incredibly unrealistic and heart-wrenching, trying to play on the cute factor, which is the only way to get children on its side, so that they take away the final message that a person can be happy without money, especially when there are happy animals around. I don't want to diminish the efforts of environmentalists to do something about how we treat the world, but this is simply a bad attempt. Even the animation, which cannot compare to American animation, wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for the story, which is incredibly simplistic. The holding of water in the comic "Habibi" had a much greater impact on me, which is definitely not an ecological work, and certainly not a flawless comic. "Hooray for Africa!" is another attempt to differentiate European animation from American animation. It is an unsuccessful, weak, and humorless attempt.
