If you may recall from the first teaser trailer for Reinhard Klooss & Holger Tappe's upcoming CG animated adaptation of Konferenz der Tiere (translated as "The Animal's Conference"), it paints a serious tone until the very end when a meerkat pops-up and says something in German with a comedic theme playing in the background.  The second teaser continues to go in that route with a gag scene where we get to see some characters interaction for the first time.  Here's a rough translation of the official synopsis:

Surprised the animals in the African savannah is: Where is the water? Long it should have come through a gorge from the distant mountains. The thirst is getting bigger, the concern also is small considering that the last water hole of fierce buffalo and rhino defended. The brave little meerkat Billy and the peace-loving lion Socrates pull off to check the water. They...

Call it the "Borat" effect.

From Belgium to Berlin and Paris to Rome, European comedians are breaking the small-screen/big-screen barrier and turning television fame into boxoffice gold.

Sacha Baron Cohen and his bumbling Kazakhstan reporter, a character Baron Cohen originally developed for his Channel 4 TV show in the U.K., and Rowan Atkinson's comic creation Mr. Bean are the most successful of those making the Euro TV-to-film transformation, but they are in good company across the continent.

"Mr. Bean's Holiday", the sequel to 1997 hit "Mr. Bean", topped the charts across Europe and as far away as Australia during its opening weekend and has generated an estimated $35.6 million worldwide gross. In most European territories, some of its toughest competition came from others segueing from TV to film.

-- In Germany, "Bean" replaced former No. 1 film "New From the Wanker", a comedy featuring local small-screen stars Oliver Kalkofe and Bastian Pastewka.

-- In Italy, "Ho voglia di te" (I Want You), a feature film adaptation of two hit Italian TV series that features a roster of small-screen stars, is at the top of the charts.

-- In Belgium, Flemish comedian Chris Van den Durpel has scored 200,000 admissions -- huge for the territory -- with "A Chicken Is No Dog", in which he plays an aging boxer, a character he developed for TV.

-- Spain's Fernando Tejero went from top-rated sitcom "Aqui no hay quien viva" (Who Could Live Here) to headlining sleeper hit "The Longest Penalty in the World" (2005).

France's Jean Dujardin jumped from Gallic television to film superstardom with a series of hits, including last year's James Bond spoof "OSS 117" and surfing blockbuster "Brice de Nice", and he will star in the hotly anticipated "99 francs". Countryman Jamel Debbouze went from TV comic to top billing in such hits as "Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra" and the Oscar-nominated "Days of Glory".

Then there is Britain, where police spoof "Hot Fuzz" has raked in more than $40 million in its first five weeks.
