If you may recall from the first teaser trailer for Reinhard Klooss & Holger Tappe's upcoming CG animated adaptation of Konferenz der Tiere (translated as "The Animal's Conference"), it paints a serious tone until the very end when a meerkat pops-up and says something in German with a comedic theme playing in the background. The second teaser continues to go in that route with a gag scene where we get to see some characters interaction for the first time. Here's a rough translation of the official synopsis:
Surprised the animals in the African savannah is: Where is the water? Long it should have come through a gorge from the distant mountains. The thirst is getting bigger, the concern also is small considering that the last water hole of fierce buffalo and rhino defended.

Constantin Film has unveiled the teaser trailer to Die Konferenz der Tiere (translated as "The Animal's Conference"), an upcoming CG animated film co-directed by Reinhard Klooss & Holger Tappe (Impy's Wonderland, Impy's Island) and produced by Ambient Entertainment. Its based on a 1949 children book by Erich Kästner that tells the story about the animals from all over the world banding together to persuade mankind to live in peace and united harmony. There is already an animated film adapted from the book back in 1969. Judging from the trailer, I'm not sure what to expect. Is it a serious drama or a silly comedy?
Coming in 2010. You'll find the teaser embedded below.

I though this was a pretty cool idea, so I decided to check out one of the films and ended up at a screening of Impy’s Island, a German CGI animation featuring the most popular subject of CGI animations – cute talking animals.The film is set on a kid’s version of the Island of Dr. Moreau, where Professor Tiberton – an Alfred Einstein look-a-like in a Hawaiian shirt and Chuck Taylors – runs a school for the wacky animals with human personalities that live there. There’s a pig, a gecko, a penguin, a shoebill, and a sea lion. There is also the Professor’s adopted son. Did the Professor create these creatures? Or were they on the island beforehand, and
