I seen this before on TV so I got it on DVD because well I was trying to collect some of the Disney movies that I didn't own. So just to let you all know this is Disney's 46th Animated movie only in Ireland,the UK and Sweden. Everywhere else its Dinosaur that's in the animated Disney canon and not this one. Why I may never know but anyways back to the review.This movie tells the tale of a lion who's son ends up being lost and its up to Samson(voiced by Kiefer Sutherland)and his mates(including a British Koala,a giraffe,a squirrel who is having a crush on the giraffe,and a snake)to find Samson's son by going on a trip to New York City to track him down.Now what did I think of this movie,well to be honest the animation was good as it felt very real to look at and the score done by Alan Silvestri was great to(he also did the score for Lilo & Stitch another great film too). And now for the bad the story is basically ripping off The Lion king(with Mufassa and the stampedes and Simba,while in this movie The Wild we see Samson using his claws to hold onto the cliff,and the stampedes trying to get him),Finding Nemo(where Merlin was out to look for his son and in this movie its the lion that's trying to look for his son)and of course Dreamwork's Madagascar which was out after this film was made.Is it Disney's best film NO of course not,as its just a complete rip off of all those films that I have mentioned.Overall it wasn't that bad and if you have younger kids than check it out. For the rest of you look elsewhere and rent Finding Nemo or Madagascar instead of it.3/5out of 105.2/10

Having seen Madagascar previous to this film, I wasn't sure what to expect. Probably just a badly ripped off film or something. But nope, it starts off completely different and ends still different. I found a few spots to be similar but for the most part it was to rescue a tiger cub.I have to admit it wasn't the greatest of films and I didn't get emotional or anything, but there was a nice story to tell and watching the cub roar and the father roar super loud was cool. But the ending wasn't as great and they basically just milked the joke with the buffalo or whatever the animals were who were basically stupid or something as the Koala was their "God" or whatever.Anyway, it's not the greatest and could have been better, but wasn't the worst. I rate it 6/10.

I saw this movie with a friend in a theater. We wasted 95 minutes of our life that we cannot get back. The movie is very similar to Madagascar. In some parts, the movie resembles Finding Nemo and the Lion King. It's like they put the 3 movies in a blender.The movie is supposed to be funny, but it's not. There's a few bad puns and some sound effects, but those aren't funny. There's a ton of parts of the movie that make no sense. How can a tugboat cross the ocean? Why is a Squirrel in love with a Giraffe? How can Chameleons make things invisible? Why does a Koala have a British accent? The curling scene has to be the worst scene in the movie. All that happens is that a bunch of antelopes run on the ice, and Samson claims that Ryan endangered everybody. How? All the antelopes did was cause Samson to lose. I know that this is a kid's film, but I doubt that most kids would like it. The Wildebeest are frightening, and the song and dance they perform will give most little kids nightmares. The alligator scene would also scare most kids. There's also quite a bit of adult humour in the film. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Instead of watching this movie, watch Madagascar, Finding Nemo, and the Lion King.

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.
