Snowflake, the White Gorilla
Snowflake is special, he's the only white gorilla in the world. He is the zoo's main attraction, children love him, but the other gorillas don't see what's so charming about this weirdo being the center of attention. With the help of Ailur, a Buddhist black panther reincarnated into the body of a red panda, and Paula, a smart little girl, Snowflake plans a sneak visit to the witch at the circus. She can help him be a normal gorilla. But outside the safety of the zoo's walls, the three friends are in danger. Thomas, a total jinx, is convinced that the white gorilla is the amulet he needs to counter his bad luck. This cruel and superstitious man is prepared to do whatever it takes to capture Snowflake.

Reviews
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
This is probably the worst live action-CGI film I've ever watched, probably even worse than the Alvin and the Chipmunks films. My biggest problem was easily the mixing of live-action humans and backgrounds with animals that look like they belong in a fully animated film. The Happy Feet movies did this, but since the ratio of CGI to live action here is pretty much reversed so that it's almost entirely live action, save for the gorillas and Jenga, it's a lot worse.Plot holes are everywhere. For example, near the beginning, the scientist says Snowflake can only live with his family for five months-- after that she'll be too big. But after five months are said to have passed, she hasn't GROWN AT ALL!!!!! WTF?!?!?!The movie's lesson is pretty confusing. At first it seems to be that you can be anything you want to be-- hence Jenga the red panda sees himself as a cat. But after the climax, it changes to "embrace what you are".There are not one but two romantic subplots for some reason, them being the one between Snowflake and the male gorilla kid at the zoo and the other between the scientist's daughter and some boy from school with a crush on her. Although the latter was kind of amusing at best, the former was anything but necessary, as aside from one talk between Snowflake and her rather forced love interest, there was no time for much to develop between them. If anything, love between Snowflake and JENGA would have made more sense, because at least they had substantial screen time together.On a side note, the box art is extremely misleading, as it often is for bad kids movies. It depicts the CGI animal characters in a fully animated jungle, while the primary setting for the film is the live-action streets of Barcelona.So I could go on, but bottom line, this wastes David Spade's and Ariana Grande's vocal talents, among others and is worth avoiding.
