Zoop In South America

At the opening of a butterfly exhibition, a mysterious woman approaches the rangers with a plea for help. A rare butterfly species in the rainforest is on the brink of extinction due to devastating wildfires. The rangers must locate the cocoons before they hatch, so the butterflies can be safely relocated. Once in South America, the mission turns out to be far more difficult than expected. The rangers leap from one adventure into the next: they have to prove themselves as tango dancers and football stars, brave wild rivers and towering mountains, and face off against bulls, crocodiles, piranhas, and venomous spiders. Along the way, they meet a monkey who falls head over heels in love with Moes — and turns out to be guarding a secret map that just might help the rangers complete their mission…

Directed by Johan Nijenhuis, Zoop In South America leans on a strong ensemble — Juliette van Ardenne, Patrick Martens, Nicolette van Dam — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about adventure titles of 2007.
