An adolescent lion (Kiefer Sutherland) who was raised in captivity finds himself accidentally plucked from the New York Zoo and deposited in Africa. Meanwhile, the friends he left behind at the zoo must put aside their differences to help bring him home safely.

Critics Consensus

With a rehashed plot and unimpressive animation, there's nothing wild about The Wild.

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.

3/5

The Wild roars back from a rocky opening act to a storming last reel, just managing to claw its way above comparisons with Madagascar.

2/5

What's so aggravating here is the grievous lack of wit, imagination and plain old story.

2.5/4.0

It's frightening to me to think that a group of studio executives sat around a room and green-lighted this film.

For all the rest of the film's unoriginality, The Wild moves along with solidly crafted wit.

An funny and entertaining movie, with a story concept that could be far better explored. Just an OK animated movie. |It's a 7,0 out of 10|

If this movie was anymore of a Madagascar rip-off it might've actually captured some heart and an iota of storytelling.

It's one of my most watched guilty-pleasure movie ever, however all the issues are in plain sight. It's predictable, bland, the animation is not memorable and it has some cringe moments. Only Kiefer Sutherland and the good music choices save this movie.
