Devil lizard Zoe Thorny, deadly spider Frank, and scorpion Nigel are in the danger exhibit in an Australian zoo. Poisonous snake Maddie is the newcomer. She is excited to be loved by the audience as zookeeper Chaz tells her. When she gets her first appearance, everybody is scared and the kids are crying. She is distressed at being hated by the public. Meanwhile, koala baby Pretty Boy is the media darling of the zoo. When the crocodile gets banished for a misunderstanding, Maddie leads the group to escape back to their outback home.
This is a good group and there is a good message at its core. This is somewhat standard in animated animal family films. It's not exceeding beyond that. It's an average family film from Netflix. It does get stupid with the fire truck. I'm willing to go with stupid but then it goes insane with the rocket launcher. Obviously, the filmmakers thought they needed to ramp up the crazy action but it does go too far. For example, they need to show how they're driving the truck and also a funny flashback showing how they learn to drive. On the other hand, there is no reason for the rocket launcher. It distracts more than thrills.
