Night of the Zoopocalypse

Movie · 2025

A young wolf and a grumpy mountain lion team up to outlast a zombie outbreak after a meteor crashes into their zoo and starts turning animals into glowing-eyed mutants. The comedy and heart are real, but so are the scares, with frequent chase sequences, body-horror transformations, and some surprisingly graphic cartoon violence that earned genuine "pretty scary" reactions from older kids.

Best suited to kids roughly 8 and up who are curious about spooky stories and can handle cartoon monster mayhem without nightmares.
