When a spirited, but naive young falcon named Kai  learns of Zambezia, the fabulous, bustling city of birds, he leaves his remote country home against the wishes of his father. But after his dad is captured by an evil lizard who plans to attack the city, Kai must learn the importance of teamwork in order to rescue his father, save his new feathered friends and help keep Zambezia free. 

The animation is beautiful with an 'old school' feel, with detailed and colourful bird characters and sweeping landscapes.  The message of the film is about honesty, trust, acceptance and the importance of coming together to overcome obstacles.  Kai learns what it means to become a part of a community in this avian coming of age animation, where he discovers the truth about his origins.  The exotic backdrop is vibrant and exciting, giving the perfect setting for this epic adventure.  There is suspense, peril, thrills and laughter as we follow our brave young hero as he takes on the villain of the piece!  It is an enjoyable film for all the family.
