Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol 6/10

Animals can speak, well we've seen that in many movies before. The only difference here is that here the animals break their code to stop zookeeper Kevin james from taking up another position. Few nice jokes and witty lines by the actors voicing the animals make it a fun watch.
