I already saw this movie but since it was a while back and since it was available on Disney+, I thought I might as well check it out again. Well, as I expected, the damned thing was still one of the worst animated features ever released by Disney. In fact, even though I blamed Disney for many years for this misfire, I actually discovered that they didn't actually make this feature, they only distributed it. The one to blame was actually C.O.R.E. Feature Animation, a Canadian company which eventually shut down in 2010 (what a surprise...). Anyway, basically, it is a cheap rip-off of 'Madagascar' which had been released only a year before. Sure, I actually enjoyed 'Madagascar' but the story wasn't really flawless and it was even more obvious with this lame feature. At least in 'Madagascar', the characters were pretty cool, especially the lemurs and the pinguins, whereas, here, they were hardly entertaining. Kasar was especially lame and probably the most pathetic bad guy ever displayed in a Disney animated feature. I mean, he was basically some kind of psychotic gnu who was apparently a master choreographer and whose great plan was to become a carnivore which was as lame as it sounds. At least, I have to admit that the animation was not bad, at least, it did look miles better than ‘Chicken Little’, Disney’s first pathetic attempt at CGI animation. Anyway, to conclude, it was another seriously low point for Disney , the damned thing was just so weak and it is not really worth a look, even if you like this genre.

The Wild - Quite Tame
Posted : 18 years ago on 2 May 2006 05:22I recently saw The Wild in the theater with my 4-year old, and I came away finding it lacking. The Wild is an uninspired rehash of several movies - most notably Madagascar. How they could possibly come up with a movie so similar is beyond me - not that Madagascar was anything to emulate. The animation is very good, but like MGSCR, the characters are uninspired. I also thought it had shades of Nemo - the dad trying to find his son. Just a bit too drab and unoriginal for my taste. My four-year-old liked it - but couldn't tell me much she liked about it, and didn't talk much about it, so I would say it was 5 out of 10 for her too.
