Review of The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002) by Ryan K — 04 Jan 2014
"The Wild Thornberrys" was my all-time favorite cartoon series as a kid. Even today, when I watch episodes on YouTube, I love it just as much as I did when I was 11. This film features all of the Thornberry characters: Eliza, Nigel, Marianne, Debbie, Donnie and Darwin, and the traits that they were famous for in the series is well represented here.
The addition of Eliza's paternal grandparents (Nigel's parents) Radcliff and Cordelia Thornberry were also great, and the villains in this film are quite menacing for an animated film, and the scary thing about them is that there are people in real life who are doing the things they do here.
The soundtrack is also amazing, with songs from many great artists like Paul Simon, Dave Matthews, Peter Gabriel, P. Diddy, Brandy, Bow Wow (back when he was Lil Bow Wow), Sting and The Pretenders. This is a perfect example of how to adapt an animated series to the big screen, and how to do it right.
If you're an animal lover as well, it's an extra special treat. 10/10.
