MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Aspen Orson There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

wolfboi-64614 Let me tell you this, What if the executives at Disney saw DreamWorks' 11-month prior "Madagascar" and said "Let's remake DreamWorks' Madagascar but make it less funny, add in forgettable characters and stereotypes, slam-dunk some pop-culture references (Star Wars. Titanic, Passion of the Christ, Looney Tunes, etc.), overuse cartoon sound effects, copy-paste the plot from Finding Nemo, and pretend ours is better than DreamWorks, Don't forget the generic fart joke!"? If they did, I wouldn't be surprised, So yeah, As you can expect, It's just Finding Nemo mixed in a blender with Madagascar and The Lion King, plus some filler and racist stereotypes, It's about Discount Alex, Discount Blinky Bill, Discount Speaking Scrat, and Discount Female Melman finding Discount Simba/Lion Nemo while going to the jungle, and I forgot what happens (I'm so glad I forgot), Did I ever mention that they pulled a "Star Wars" after the Coldplay scene? And the animation, My oh my, It's over-detailed and creepy, Looks like something out of Robert Zemeckis' motion-capture movies (Polar Express, Beowulf, A Christmas Carol), The writing is below average (and so as the music, not hating on your work, Alan!), and the script is actually just a list of stereotypes and Looney Tunes sound effects. Go watch Madagasacar, or Finding Nemo, or any good Disney movie you can think of (The Lion King, Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, Toy Story, Cars, The Incredibles). Perfect for confused grandmas everywhere.OVERALL MOVIE: 4/10, At least it doesn't deserve the DTV sequel treatment.

FairlyAnonymous OK usually this is Dreamwork's job, but this time Disney tried it out. Dreamwork's had a habit of copying a Disney movie and making it worse. For one of the first times Dreamwork's made its own original movie called Madagascar. What does Disney do? It makes a bigger rip-off than Dreamworks ever has.The wild literally copied and pasted the same plot from Madagascar (except for the end). A troop of animals from a zoo end up getting transferred. The group of animals is fairly similar: A main character that is a lion, a side kick who is now a Koala, and large female character who is a Giraffe, and a snake that actually has almost no purpose to the movie. None of these characters are really enjoyable, and they seemed dull. Also the jokes all fell flat. There was even a crotch hit joke that seemed just as childish as all crotch jokes.When the zoo animals eventually make it to the island that isn't Madagascar, but it is still in Africa. It turns out that Disney said that dancing Lemur's would've been too much of a rip-off so they decided to make dancing wildebeest. Seriously? Dancing wildebeest.As you can tell this movie is pretty bad in the fact that it is a 100% rip off of Madagascar. The only difference is that the wildebeest befriend the Koala as a God, which isn't too far from Alex the lion becoming the savior of the Lemurs. So watch a good movie like Madagascar instead of this.

TheLittleSongbird As I have said many times I love animated films and I love Disney, and this did look interesting. However, it turned out to be one of my least favourite Disney films, not the worst mind but still. Starting with the good things, the animation is absolutely wonderful. The colours are gorgeous, and the character designs are much better than the ones in Chicken Little in my opinion. The soundtrack was very nice as well, and the voice acting on the whole is excellent especially from Kiefer Sutherland, Jim Belushi and Eddie Izzard, who coincidentally voice the most interesting characters in the movie. I also liked the lively bickering between the animals. However, despite these strong points The Wild has some failures. The story is very predictable and has a lot of derivative elements, and while this is not a bad thing I did see a fair amount of Madagascar, Finding Nemo and Ice Age here. Speaking of the story, the final twenty minutes for me were lame, and the moralising got rather heavy-handed. And while I appreciated that it went briskly, the pacing did get a little too fast in places, no surprises really seeing as the film is too short. So, in conclusion, not bad but not good either. 5/10 Bethany Cox

daler001 First rate animation with third rate writing. Not much imagination evident in the project. Father and son lions argue, the boy sulks in a truck and gets shipped to Africa. The father goes looking for him with a group of other zoo animals. The voice actors have talent, but none of it is on display here. Listen carefully as Keifer Sutherland cries out his son's name dozens and dozens of times(well it felt like that many)in anguish. Lazy writing. The animation is well done but the character design is uninteresting (they look exactly like the animals they're supposed to be), so the film has little style in design or storytelling. My two-year old lost interest also,which is a rarity for a computer animated film.
