Drôles D'oiseaux

Au cœur de l’Afrique, au bord des majestueuses chutes Victoria, se dresse l’étonnante Cité des Oiseaux, Zambezia, perchée sur un baobab géant.

C’est là que se rend Kai, un jeune faucon qui vit isolé avec son père dans la brousse et rêve de connaitre la ville. Débarquant en pleine effervescence des préparatifs de la Fête du printemps, il rencontre entre autres Jed, un oiseau oisif et farceur ainsi que la belle Zoe.

A eux trois, ils vont découvrir que la cité est sous la menace d’une attaque et qu’ils sont les seuls à pouvoir en sauver les habitants.

Sul bordo di una cascata, immersa nel tronco di un enorme albero di Baobab si trova una vivace città di uccelli chiamati Zambezia. Famosa per essere la città più sicura in tutta l'Africa, Zambezia è diventata l'area protetta della valle del fiume, dove uccelli d'ogni piuma vivono insieme in armonia e in pace. Kai, un giovane Falcon, lascia il suo remoto avamposto contro la volontà del padre per unirsi ai prestigiosi Hurricane che pattugliano i cieli mantenendo Zambezia al sicuro. Il padre di Kai decide di seguirlo, ma viene catturato dal famigerato Budzo, una lucertola gigante che cospira con i marabù per conquistare Zambezia.

Kai (Jeremy Suarez), a high-spirited falcon on the cusp of adulthood is bored and lonely living in a remote outpost with only his strict father, Tendai (Samuel L.Jackson), for company. Forbidden from venturing beyond the Katungu Boundary, his suspicions that there must be more to life are confirmed when Gogo, a kooky Stork and her co-pilot, a cute weaver called Tini, crash into his world. From them, Kai learns that downriver is a bustling bird city with exciting opportunities for a talented flier such as himself. In an angry exchange with his father, Kai discovers that Tendai has known all along about Zambezia and has been there himself! Hurt and angry at his father’s betrayal, Kai leaves Katungu and journeys downriver.

Arriving at the famed bird city - a majestic Baobab perched on the edge of Victoria Falls - Kai s amazed by the throngs of birds from all over Africa who are busy preparing for the Spring Celebrations. He soon befriends a fast-talking Nightjar called Ezee who knows how to enjoy the perks of community life and guides him through the city. Kai is bowled over when he meets Zoe (Abigail Breslin), a beautiful and feisty Black-Shouldered Kite who is the adopted daughter of Sekhuru (Leonard Nimoy), Zambezia’s founder. Unfortunately for him, Kai doesn’t make a good first impression when he accidently ruins her Spring Celebration decorations. But he is thrilled when his skilful flying earns him a place on the Hurricanes, the elite defense patrol made up of the best fliers on Zambezia.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to him and the rest of the Zambezians, Marabou Storks, tired of scavenging off the scraps of Zambezia have joined forces with Budzo, a vicious egg-eating Leguaan, and hatched a plan to take control of the island city. To make matters worse, Budzo captures Kai’s father and all of the weavers, including Tini. In order to save Zambezia and Tendai, Kai has to face his past and learn that no matter how fast and talented a flier he is, no bird is an island.
