We Bought a Zoo

We Bought a Zoo (2011) sees Benjamin, mourning the loss of his wife, purchase a dilapidated house complete with a struggling animal sanctuary. Despite initial resistance from his son, the project wins over his daughter and a crew of dedicated zookeepers. As Benjamin tackles the zoo's dire financial situation, the film charts a tender, if sentimental, course through the trials of rebuilding not just a sanctuary for animals but a family unit.
