BENJAMIN BLÜMCHEN

Benjamin, Germany’s favorite animated elephant, and friends, come up against Zora Zack, the zoo’s new director, who is charged with modernizing the establishment. But there is something about her that is just not right. It is her dislike of animals? Is it that she is allergic to them? And why are her changes actually for the worse? Benjamin realizes there is much more to her game than even he first thought when Alfred Ape grabs Zack’s camera and finds the proof: she is planning to downsize the zoo in favor of new, luxury apartments with a lakeside view! Zack will stop at nothing, including having Benjamin kidnapped and shipped overseas. But she has not reckoned on Benjamin’s friends, who are now determined to stop her.
