June 23, 2008Critically slammed for being a 'Madagascar' rip-off, this fun little piece of animation is made all the more watchable by an awesome voice cast. Family friendly and packed with smile inducing moments, there's plenty to love for both adults and children, unfortunately you just can...( read more)

These films take years to produce, so The Wild isn't exactly a ripoff -- but it isn't exactly fun, either. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
As far as story is concerned, the whole thing feels like a rerun of a raucous Saturday-morning television show aimed at hell-raising five-year-olds. full review
April 14, 2006
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The movie has a lot more action than Ice Age: The Meltdown, which was essentially one long trek. full review
April 14, 2006
Ty Burr, Boston Globe
This is a movie to make you cherish Pixar all the more; where every pixel and plot turn in Finding Nemo snaps organically into place, The Wild strains just to get to the end of a scene. full review
April 13, 2006
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
It's a funny, compassionate, emotionally engaging movie that prompts both laughs and a lump in the throat. full review
April 11, 2006
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
There's something foul about this latest animated adventure's blatant plush toy-ready construction. full review

October 13, 2006I kind of like this movie. It was cute and sure it was similar to Madagascar and a lot of other Disney films- the Lion King, to name one. There were plenty of scenes that were coppies of that... But! Who's to say its not the other way around. Now I am not blaming anyone, but whos to say that Dreamworks didn't get some kind of memo that Disney was making a film called The Wild and it was about animals escaping the zoo. Who to say Dreamworks didn't copy Disney- who cares if theirs came out first? Theirs was also not as well animated as Disneys- maybe while Disney was fixing up the animation, Dreamworks sent theirs out with the ok for a kid's film, but frustratingly inacurate animation... But, whatever! I enjoyed this film, and while the begining was like Madagascar, the ending was nothing like it! And, the story line between the father and son, I thought that was rather excellent! Personally, I really enjoyed this movie! The humor could have been more kid friendly, but otherwise...
