Movie Reviews of The Wild [Blu-ray]
Movie Review: Better quality than Madagascar
Summary: 5 Stars
I know this movie does not deserve five stars, but the overall rating of three star does not seem fair to me for this movie. It sucks that the makers spend a decade trying to make this movie as good as it can just to be called a rehashed version of Madagascar which is said to have been rushed into production. The Picture looks great in blu-ray. Recommend this to anyone.
Summary of The Wild [Blu-ray]
You?ll roar with laughter as Disney uncages this hip and hilarious comedy on Blu-ray?s high definition disc. Now the hysterical adventure the New York Daily News calls "truly infectious" is wilder than ever in this stunning new format! When an outrageous band of furry friends escape from the city zoo, they discover that New York City is the biggest, craziest jungle of all. Feast your eyes upon the ferociously funny animal antics in spectacular 1080p, while you heed the call of The Wild?s bonus features, hysterical bloopers and blunders, deleted scenes and more in fierce 5.1 48 kHz, 24-bit uncompressed audio. Harness the power of Blu-ray? High Definition to captivate and entertain your whole family!A cuddly koala who wants to be fierce, a squirrel in love with a sarcastic giraffe, an addle-pated anaconda, and a lion with a secret set off from their cozy zoo to rescue the lion's adolescent cub from an accidental kidnapping. After braving the dangers of the big city and stealing a boat, they find themselves in the African jungle, where a renegade herd of wildebeest have decided they want to change their position on the food chain (understandable, really). The Wild is hodgepodge--it's never clear why these mismatched creatures are friends and plot elements seem haphazardly plucked from Finding Nemo, Madagascar, and Ice Age: The Meltdown (though the latter two were made at the same time as The Wild, so it's just unfortunate for this movie that they came out first). Despite a general air of manic desperation, The Wild does have its strengths: The animation is richly realistic, leading to some gorgeous depictions of light (not exactly a selling point for kids, but adults can appreciate it). Several characters pop out--a pair of sewer crocodiles sound like NPR's Car Talk guys; William Shatner (Star Trek, Boston Legal) is effectively scary as the cult-leader/choreographer of the wildebeest; and comedian Eddie Izzard lends some of his trademark smart and silly humor to Nigel, the disgruntled koala bear. Successful bits and pieces don't make for a great movie, but they keep The Wild from the brink of disaster. --Bret Fetzer
