    This is the third animated feature in a row (after "Curious George" and "Ice Age: The Meltdown") which aims at children and has no serious ambition to be all things to all people, i.e., their parents. But for kids, it's OK.

    While the kids are giggling at gambling pigeons and psychedelic chameleons, parents can enjoy a screenplay sensitive to the travails of single fatherhood and the evils of oppression. In The Wild, the most valuable weapons are honesty, tolerance and the ability to be oneself.

    The Wild roars back from a rocky opening act to a storming last reel, just managing to claw its way above comparisons with "Madagascar."

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

    Extremely funny and a good movie for kids, and even better adults won't be bored out of their minds watching it. The story is a lot like Madagascar, animals escape from the zoo and got to "The Wild", so it's not all that original but it's funny enough to keep you and your kids entertained on a family movie night. Worth a rental.… Expand

    It's like someone threw Madagascar into a blender with Finding Nemo. The plot is very unoriginal, the humor is overly silly and childish, and the characters aren't very memorable. As far as animation goes, it's alright. Not necessarily bad, just... alright. All in all, The Wild is an mediocre, overly goofy mish-mash of stories that have already been told before. Definitely NOT something you would expect from Disney. 3/10.… Expand

    There's that one laugh here and there but al in all this was a hard film to watch do to the fact that you want to shut up every one of those animals mouths. The plot was pretty drowsy and the characters were obnoxious. All I'll say is I've seen worst. So nice try Disney maybe next time… Expand
