The Wild Reviews

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

Full Review

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

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

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

| Original Score: 1.5/4

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

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10

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

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

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

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

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.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5

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

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Wildly unoriginal.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10

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

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Perfectly enjoyable but nothing special

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5

The Wild, for example, looks pretty good, but the script is just plain bad and the jokes are just plain awful.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

For the adult who may very well have to experience this film, and who may have experienced Madagascar, The Wild is better.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

There's little to recommend of The Wild, which, despite its title, is about as pedestrian as you can get.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Much of it is so rote and so predictably crushed into the prefabricated Disney mold that it's impossible to kick off the unpleasant aroma of 'been there, done that.'
