Animals United is a 3D German cartoon which is directed by Reinhard Klooss and Holger Tappe. It is a story about animals that get together to find water. Along their journey, lots of funny things happen, and of course, they have a lot of adventures.

The animals in the grasslands in Africa are waiting for the coming flood(洪水). However, this year’s flood seems to come later than in other years. The animals become upset and worried. At the same time, some animals from other places come to the grasslands to look for peace. However, the situation seems worse because the water is becoming less and less. So they decide to look for the river.

Finally, they find the reason why they don’t have any water to drink. A dam(拦河坝） has been set up so that humans can have a better life. After a long fight with humans, they let the world know that animals are in danger.

Long ago, there was a boy in Toronto. His name was Jimmy. He started painting when he was three years old，and when he was five he was already very good at it. He painted many beautiful and interesting pictures，and a lot of people bought his pictures.
