The Meerkats, also known as Meerkats: The Movie, is a feature-length 2008 British wildlife fiction film which anthropomorphises the daily struggles of a clan of meerkats in the Kalahari Desert. It was produced by BBC Films and The Weinstein Company, and filmed by the award-winning BBC Natural History Unit. It is the debut directorial feature of James Honeyborne, previously a producer of natural history programmes for television. The worldwide premiere was held at the Dinard Film Festival, France in October 2008, expanding to a wide release the following week. The film was released in 2009, on 7 August in the UK. A US date has not yet been announced. This was dedicated to actor Paul Newman, who died in 2008, shortly before this movie was released.

The documentary follows the adventure of a young meerkat who is forced to leave his home by a group of meerkats who wanted more territory. Lost in the African savannah, he tries to reunite with his family, but encounters large, fierce, and deadly creatures.

Hungarian Summary:

A film egy szurikáta család mindennapi küzdelmeiről szól a föld legkíméletlenebb környezetében. De ami az afrikai síkságok lakóit még egyedülállóbbá teszi, az nem más, mint családi életük dinamikájának hátborzongató hasonlatossága azokkal a fajokkal, akik a tápláléklánc felsőbb fokán helyezkednek el, különösen a sajátunkkal. Akár a mindennapi élet nehézségein küzdik át magukat, akár komoly csatákba bonyolódnak a túlélésért.
