The Wild
Tuesday Jan 22, 2008
I rented The Wild for my boys this weekend, and we really enjoyed it. If I recall correctly, this movie came out at nearly the same time as Madagascar, and parts of the story are similar enough that I'm sure a lot of people said "Oh, this is just like Madagascar, why bother?" In truth, while there are some similarities, like animals in a zoo in a large city go on an adventure, the characters, the reasons for their trips and the trips themselves are quite different.
Nick and Sam enjoyed The Wild enough to watch it a second time a couple of days later, and they talked and laughed about various scenes afterwards. This certainly isn't the case in all movies they watch, and I take it as a sign they give it "two thumbs up." :)
