A parrot lives on an
exotic island with his animal friends.
There is a tapir, chameleon, kingfisher, echidna and a blind goat. The parrot can’t stop thinking there
must be more to the world than just this island? A lot of his questions are answered when a ship is pushed up
onto the island by a violent storm.
Robinson Crusoe is the only human survivor and he names the parrot Tuesday. The other animals slowly
warm up to Robinson and his dog.
There were two cats on the ship and they have also arrived on the
island. They want to take control
of the island and the creatures.
This leads to a battle between with the cats.
The animation is good
and also the story line. It's told from the viewpoint of the animals instead of Robinson Crusoe. It does become repetitive when they are fighting and the cats
are trying to take control. Robinson
doesn’t want to admit it but Tuesday is the brains of the operation on the
island. 3* (This movie is OK)
