DVD Description
The plucky, pigtailed Eliza Thornberry (voiced by Lacey Chabert) and her high-strung chimpanzee pal (Tom Kane) are out to stop some poachers in this feature film version of the Nickelodeon TV cartoon show. While her family is off on a trek through the Serengeti in their high-tech, gadget-filled RV, Eliza is sent off to a stuffy English boarding school by her strict grandmother (Lynn Redgrave). Poor Eliza must figure out how to escape back to Africa and put a stop to the aforementioned evil poachers, all without her special ability to talk to the animals, a power she lost because of her obnoxious sister Debbie (Danielle Harris). Produced and animated by Klasky-Csupo (the team responsible for THE RUGRATS MOVIE) the THORNBERRYS' colorful 2D animation style is refreshingly simplistic, yet still manages to depict its jungle settings with surprisingly vivid intensity. Youngsters should be consistently engaged and adults will appreciate the high zaniness level, rapid-fire plotting, and absence of cloying sentiment. Celebrity voices include: Rupert Everett, Tim Curry, Marisa Tomei, and Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea as Eliza's little brother Donnie, a gibbering wild child raised by apes. The soundtrack includes tunes by Peter Gabriel and Paul Simon.

"...Witty and delightful....THE WILD THORNBERRYS remarkably balances some honest heart-tugging with a sophisticated sense of humor..." (Los Angeles Times, p.C22, 20/12/2002)
"...This sparky little movie will have ankle-biters feeling warm and fuzzy..." (Total Film, p.108, 01/03/2003)
"...THE WILD THORNBERRYS will no doubt brighten the day of parents looking for family activities during the holidays..." (USA Today, p.11E, 20/12/2002)
Advantages: Laughter for the whole family Disadvantages: Can't think of any, maybe a weak story-line?
...(which is a snake), as the snake is very dim-witted.
I bought this because I love the new animated stuff such as Madagascar, and the Ice Age, I am hoping to get many of the others, and I remember one I really wanted but I cannot remember the title, something like buck, zino and the uglies, but I'm not too sure, can anyone help me?
Anyway the plot is that a lion and a cub have a big argument, and the cub, accidentally, gets shipped away to an island. And the lion and all his laugh out loud furry friends help him find the cub. But they soon discover the New York City, itself, is the biggest craziest jungle of all.
The wild is a funny family film, that'll leave the whole family in stitches. I fell in love with Larry straight away, who seriously can't love him? He's hilarious.
I don't know why but I don't feel up to writing this review...

Advantages: Fantastic animation Disadvantages: Running low on original ideas for story lines
...Elisa Thornberry is no normal girl. She has the ability to talk to animals which proves very usefull as all of her family travel the world to film a nature show. Her dad Nigal Thornberry hosts it and her mum, Mary-Anne Thornberry films it. Debby is her sister. She is constantly annoyed with travelling and not having the ability to go shopping. On there journeys Elisa has picked up an ape called Darwin. The family also found a wild boy called donny who talks a load of gibberish. The animation is really good especially on the animals. For a cartoon they look so reallistic. It is really funny to watch especially as there vehicle can go on the river, up a mountain, underwater etc. You name it they've got it. Elisa often has to basrgain with animals to get them to stay in front of the camera, but speaking to animals is kept a secret...

Advantages: You can learn alot from it if you are a young adult Disadvantages: You are very restricted to what you can do
...Animal Crossing: Wild World is different from other nintendo games. With so many activities to do such as: going to others worlds, talking to neighbours, shopping and donating fossils youhave found to the muesum. It is impossible not to have fun while your playing.
All you have to do is set up your player and the game does the rest for you and you even have your own house which you can decorate and pay the mortage for and the shop owner will make it bigger.
I personally think that this is the game for someone who just wants to get away from real life and I highly reccomend it to those people and young adults so they can learn about making money and paying off mortages....
