It's frightening to me to think that a group of studio executives sat around a room and green-lighted this film.

For all the rest of the film's unoriginality, The Wild moves along with solidly crafted wit.

| Mar 1, 2007

The Wild is pretty tame, and in the increasingly crowded, competitive, survival-of-the-fittest world of computer animation, it meows but does not roar

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 17, 2006

Seems like a dull Madagascar ripoff.

The kids might be better off with a trip to a real zoo, if they haven't had their fill of Madagascar yet.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 1, 2006

The diverse animals are beautifully rendered, but this cliche-riddled Disney failure represents one too many trips to the CGI non-inkwell.

The Wild is not really bad; it's just tired.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Sep 8, 2006

The animation here impresses more than in the equally defunct Madagascar, but everything else smacks of an easy money-making exercise of such dimwitted inanity even the youngest kids will see through it.

A decade ago, this sort of thing would have felt cuter, fresher and funnier than today, when the bar for CGI animation has been raised considerably.

Full Review | Jun 12, 2006

The film is ultimately noise and its story is so overdone at this point that far from being swept up in it, we're only hoping that the next plot point isn't as predictable as the last. But things never do work out that way.

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 26, 2006

Watchable animated adventure with one eye on the cuddly toy market, though you've got to love a film that casts William Shatner as a wildebeest.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 25, 2006

What's so aggravating here is the grievous lack of wit, imagination and plain old story.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 23, 2006

Wildly unoriginal.

| Original Score: 4/10 | May 18, 2006

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 12, 2006

It's noisy and only so-so, though the animation is quite good.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 12, 2006

Perfectly enjoyable but nothing special

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | May 9, 2006

...has little to offer viewers over a certain age.

| Original Score: 2/4 | May 6, 2006
