Critic Reviews

Michael Wilmington

It has a good director, snazzy visuals and some really funny animals, and that's at least half the battle. Read full review

Jonathan Rosenbaum

The CGI characters seem less like artwork than humans wearing animal suits, but despite the overall ugliness and sitcom timing, this has enough action, violence, and invention to keep kids amused. Read full review

Empire Helen O'Hara

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

Jim Ridley

Under Steve "Spaz" Williams' direction, the animation is exquisitely detailed, down to the lions' individually moving whiskers--but when's the last time you enjoyed a cartoon for its realism? Read full review

Carrie Rickey

Kids under 6 will dig it - though the alligators and wildebeests might scare them. Certainly they scared this groan-up. Read full review

Marc Savlov

About as pedestrian as you can get. Read full review

Ella Taylor

The animation is cheesy; the banter isn't funny; the score is noisy and grating; and the critters look like stuffed animals. The best that can be said for The Wild is that it's a most insincere form of flattery. The worst is that it's a sincere form of theft. Read full review

That movie is another farce, since the plot was a carbon copy of Finding Nemo but a wild look and play the same style of Poseidon the resounding winner is Madagascar.

A massive rip off of Madagascar and it is also so boring, not funny, and childishly written. I find this film to be terribly animated and terrible altogether. I give this movie 33%.

The Wild is possibly the most irritating animated film I've ever seen. Everything about it is just plain annoying. The best part of the whole movie is when the wildebeasts sing the "I'm Having A Nice Day" song, and the only reason I like that part is because it's easy to annoy people byThe Wild is possibly the most irritating animated film I've ever seen.

The best part of the whole movie is when the wildebeasts sing the "I'm Having A Nice Day" song, and the only reason I like that part is because it's easy to annoy people by singing it nonstop. And it's the only thing I really remember other than the story is like the version of Madagascar that got thrown out and some body picked it out of the trash and made it, the most annoying voice I've ever heard for the lead character, and other mismatched voices that didn't seem to fit very well, jokes that weren't funny... I could go on and on. But I wont. This movie sucks.… Expand

What happens when you take Madagascar, a horrible movie, and make it even horribler?

I wouldn't wish this one my worst enemy. What's wrong with Hollywood? How hard is it to make a decent movie?… Expand
