Technically, The Wild is impressive. Until you realize that the lifelike animated fur is the product of more professional care than the script.April 14, 2006
As a movie that kids will enjoy with a few adult-oriented gags to keep parents from going completely insane with boredom, The Wild accomplishes its unambitious mission.September 15, 2006
The diverse animals are beautifully rendered, but this cliche-riddled Disney failure represents one too many trips to the CGI non-inkwell.October 03, 2006

The Wild is pretty tame, and in the increasingly crowded, competitive, survival-of-the-fittest world of computer animation, it meows but does not roarApril 18, 2006
The animation is exquisitely detailed, down to the lions' individually moving whiskers -- but when's the last time you enjoyed a cartoon for its realism?October 01, 2006
The kids might be better off with a trip to a real zoo, if they haven't had their fill of Madagascar yet.April 17, 2006
Another animated film from 2006 that's right in that average category.April 14, 2006
A bulky, uneven script with too many narrative cul de sacs (including a pointlessly lengthy curling match at the zoo) makes it hard to stay interested in The Wild.June 24, 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.March 01, 2007
For all the rest of the film's unoriginality, The Wild moves along with solidly crafted wit.
