What happens

Animals United is a 2010 German animated adventure comedy film directed and produced by Reinhard Klooss and Holger Tappe and released on 7 October 2010. The film stars Ralf Schmitz and Thomas Fritsch as a meerkat named Billy and a lion named Socrates, who go on an epic quest to discover why their river has unexpectedly dried up. It is loosely based on the 1949 book The Animals' Conference by Erich Kästner and Walter Trier. This is the second adaptation as the first adaptation was a 2D-animated film, which was also the first German animated feature film to be in color that was released in 1969. The screenplay for the film was written by Oliver Huzly and Reinhard Kloos. An English-language dub version for Animals United stars an ensemble British cast, including James Corden, Stephen Fry and Andy Serkis. A sequel, Pets United, was released in 2019, which exclusively brought the sequel to Netflix. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
