If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

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

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The fact that it's a Disney film that I HATE is bad enough, because I've given so much praise to many forgotten Disney films, and the prospect of there being a Disney film that I consider to be my LEAST FAVOURITE FILM OF ALL TIME is pretty upsetting. Its a Terrible Combination of The Lion King, Finding Nemo&MadagascarThis is the GARBAGE PAIL KIDS of Disney films...The Characters are Annoying, The Jokes Aren't Funny, The Dialogues are Terrible, Even the Ending Credits of that Movie was the WorstAnd Worst of all This Film has Adult Humour How they got THAT into a U film.... I DO not know... The adult humor and innuendos? All that violence and scenes of fright? And that got a U?! I mean, Hunchback of Notre Dame, The Black Cauldron, CARS, TOY STORY?! Those are given a PG but THIS is given a U?! Don't See This Movie Go Rant Fantasia Instead

As Disney's supposed counterpart to DreamWorks' "Madagascar" released about a year before, The Wild is anything but wild. The story is bland with action, heart, and humor that at best can barely trigger and at worst can induce cringes, predictable with so many clichés found in better films like Ice Age, and despite offering a few twists, the execution of them was just awful. Of the characters, Benny was the sole one I liked, due to how he acts as a wonderful mentor and provided what few laughs I eked when watching this movie, with the rest being quite insipid or unsuccessful at providing what they were meant to, mainly because of the story. The animation was the near saving grace of this movie, as it looked pretty nice for 2006 (if not to the level of Cars, Flushed Away, or Over The Hedge) with wonderful detail on the animals and the settings looking lush. The mixture of cartoony facial expressions with the realistic bodies, however, makes the character designs run-of-the-mill. That's also without mentioning the depiction of advertising (I know that it's New York, but at least Madagascar didn't really shove it in the audience's face), including two scenes with a poster for The Lion King on Broadway. My recommendation would be to pass this movie in favor of some better stuff that Disney would release in the years to follow.

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.

First off it's Lion King in New York City. Second it's characters seem very toned down versions from Madagascar(Not a Disney movie). Which came out just before The Wild was released. I missed this one in the theaters and I am glad I did.The Computer Gernerated (CG) characters seemed hurried and needed work. They certainly did not look very good on my HD LCD SONY Flat panel.The story was so poorly formed it just seemed to go on and on and on and would never end.I know this is a cartoon but I have a problem with when they leave the NY Harbor they are on a small tug boat, which magically has enough fuel to make it to the coast of Africa then enough to make the trip back.I've enjoyed many of the newer CG cartoons that have been released this was not one of them I am glad I saw it on broadcast TV.Not worth the time, even kids would be bored with it.
