Review of The Wild (2006) by Gena D — 25 Feb 2014
I think the main reason people give this such a bad review is it came out alongside madagascar and so people either go in expecting the same movie or go in cynical saying one was a copy of the other.
They are NOT the same movie, no where close! Yes they start off at the same zoo and due to circumstance end up in the wild. But that's pretty much it.
Each has their own good and bad qualities.
The wild is meant as heartwarming while Madagascar is meant as humorous.
The wild doesn't address things like refuelling and food while Madagascar touches on both.
Soundtracks for both are great but the animation for the wild beats out Madagascar.
Long story short if you want constant jokes you want Madagascar if you want jokes with a touch of typical Disney sensitivity and are capable of ignoring things like fuel for a ship, coast guard ignorance, humans jumping overboard so close to the dock rather than turning around, chameleons with super insane powers, super sonic roars and animals not eating for days yet somehow surviving ... then you want the wild.
All joking aside (who was joking? I was serious!) it really isn't a terrible movie, especially if you go in treating it like an individual movie.
