Vultures and hyenas team up to hinder the delivery of the baby by a stork. Mic-Mic and Oscar are joined by Giant Panda to help a stork deliver the baby despite the plot. They fly to America in their balloon.

Reception
[edit]Common Sense Media gave the film 2 stars and found it was a "unoriginal animated sequel"[2] while RaisingChildren.net stated, "This movie is action packed and likely to appeal to many children. But you might find the voices annoying. Also the movie’s violence and scary scenes means it’s best suited to children aged 8 years and older."[3] A review at Dove concluded that "Parents will like the strong bonds of friendship and values such as honor, integrity and taking responsibility of one’s actions, as well as shedding a positive light on adoption and caring for life."[4] A very negative review in The Guardian went as far as to write that the film was a "dismal animation only good for punishing kids with."[5] The Herald (Zimbabwe) noted "the political agenda" of the film and found it irrelevant.[6]
