Six‑year‑old Winnie gains the special ability to understand animal speech. Her family’s nearly‑bankrupt Sunnyvale Zoo takes in a batch of so‑called “problem animals”: a tooth‑aching yet timid tiger Rosie, a basketball‑obsessed gorilla Jordan, a gourmet‑picky polar bear Sundae, military‑style hyena squad Scar, and a nearsighted book‑loving cobra Iris. Instead of forcing them into performances, Winnie figures out each creature’s real troubles and inner wishes. Under her influence, these misfit animals gradually shine and draw huge crowds. They also fight theft and sabotage together. Finally, Winnie helps heart‑broken dolphin Pearl find her true self. The once‑dying zoo thrives, building a warm home for every misunderstood animal.
