Night of the Zoopocalypse is a 2025 animated adventure film co-directed by Ricardo Curtis and Rodrigo Perez-Castro, produced across Belgium, Canada, France, and the United Kingdom. A genre-blending creature feature for families, it mashes zombie horror tropes with wild-animal comedy to deliver a fast-moving, kid-friendly action ride.
What is Night of the Zoopocalypse about?
When a meteorite crashes near a city zoo, it releases a strange virus that begins converting the captive animals into ravenous, shuffling undead creatures. At the center of the chaos stand two unlikely allies: a cunning wolf and a powerful mountain lion who have every reason to distrust each other. Refusing to succumb to the infection, they band together with a small circle of unaffected survivors — both human and animal — determined to take back the zoo before dawn. Standing in their way is a grotesquely mutated leader who commands the infected horde and actively works to spread the contagion beyond the zoo walls. The clock is ticking, the odds are grim, and the pair must figure out whether survival depends on strength, smarts, or simply learning to trust someone from the other side of the fence.
Cast & crew
The voice cast is led by David Harbour, known for his commanding screen presence, alongside Paul Sun-Hyung Lee, Scott Thompson, and Bryn McAuley. Joshua Graham, Gabbi Kosmidis, Carolyn Scott, and Pierre Simpson round out the ensemble, bringing a range of comic and dramatic energy to the animal and human characters throughout the film.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking families in the diaspora, Night of the Zoopocalypse arrives as a genuinely accessible family watch — playful enough for younger children yet laced with enough zombie-genre wit to keep adults entertained. Animation that spans multiple Western co-production countries often finds its way into Persian-dubbed form precisely because diaspora parents want age-appropriate entertainment their children can enjoy in Farsi without losing the humor. This film is available in Persian DUB on K-Time, meaning younger viewers can follow every joke and action beat in their home language. It fits naturally alongside other animated adventure titles that blend light horror comedy with ensemble teamwork, a format that resonates across cultures and age groups.

Night of the Zoopocalypse is available on K-Time with a full Persian DUB, so the whole family can watch in Farsi. Stream it on your TV, laptop, or phone — no VPN needed, no geo-blocking, and no extra download required. Cancel anytime.
