The Wild

Dominic Scott Kay, Eddie Izzard, Greg Cipes, James Belushi, Janeane Garofalo, Jonathan Kimmel, Joseph Siravo, Kiefer Sutherland, Richard Kind, William Shatner

In this wild and outrageous computer-animated comedy-adventure, an odd assortment of animals from the New York Zoo -- including a lion, a giraffe, an anaconda, a koala, and a squirrel -- discover what...( read more  read more... ) a jungle the city can be when one of their own is mistakenly shipped to the wild and they embark on a dangerous mission to rescue him. The film boasts an impressive vocal ensemble -- Kiefer Sutherland (as the respected lion leader, Samson), Greg Cipes (as Samson's son, Ryan), Jim Belushi (as Benny, the street savvy squirrel and Samson's best friend), Janeane Garofalo (as a quick-witted giraffe), Richard Kind (as a dim-witted anaconda), William Shatner (as a wicked wildebeest), and Eddie Izzard (as Nigel, an acerbic koala) -- along with cutting edge animation, and a story filled with hilarious situations. Director Steve "Spaz" Williams and producer Clint Goldman helped to revolutionize CG character animation during their long association with ILM, and were responsible for the acclaimed Blockbuster Entertainment commercials featuring Carl the rabbit and Ray the guinea pig.

    Pretty much the same as Madagascar. Pales in comparison.

    "A whole new breed of tourist."

    An adolescent lion is accidentally shipped from the New York Zoo to Africa. Now running free, his zoo pals must put aside their differences to help bring him back.

    Interesting animated feature directed by Steve 'Spaz' Williams. An all-star cast lends voice to a diverse group of animals from the New York Zoo. A young lion Ryan (Greg Cipes) is impatient with his coming of age and acquiring a roar like his dad Samson (Kiefer Sutherland). Samson is living on a false reputation that he was once a king in the African wild. Ryan runs away on a ship destined for Africa to rescue animals. Samson and his friends commandeer a tugboat and head to Africa to find Ryan. Other vocal talent provided by Janeane Garofalo, James Belushi, William Shatner, Eddie Izzard, Richard Kind and Miles Marsico. The Wild is interesting enough for adults, but just not as good as some of the other animated features out there at the moment.

    Critically slammed for being a 'Madagascar' rip-off, this fun little piece of animation is made all the more watchable by an awesome voice cast. Family friendly and packed with smile inducing moments, there's plenty to love for both adults and children, unfortunately you just can...( read more)'t help but think about how often this type of thing has been done before. The CGI itself is interesting as it leans more toward the lifelike than most animation. Don't miss Eddie Izzards adorable koala and William Shatners crazy wildebeest. Fun stuff!
