Another CGI animation film of 2006 hits theatres, and it's Disney's The Wild. The Wild accomplishes one thing that I thought I wouldn't see: an animated film that is more lame than Ice Age: The Meltdown from earlier this year. Again, Disney takes a hit at CGI without the help of Pixar. Let's face it: Disney cannot make a decent CGI animated film without Pixar. Before you read any further, I want you to remember another CGI movie: Madagascar. Think, it's that one with Ben Stiller and Chris Rock, do you remember the story? That movie was also horrible, but just take a little time to remember it. Disney's The Wild is almost exactly the same as Dreamworks' Madagascar. Why? It's about animals in the New York Zoo who go to the wild, it may not be Madagascar, but it sure feels like it, and it's even worse. The Wild is about a lion named Samson, who is the king of the New York Zoo because he grew up in the wild and knows of the harsh realities outside the zoo. His son, Ryan, looks up to him, but his son is not as tough, in fact, his roars sound like cat purrs. Everyone laughs at him, his dad, Samson, doesn't know what to do. One night, after an argument between Samson and Ryan, Ryan decides to run away. Right at the last minute, he decides he doesn't want to go anymore, but unfortunately, the trucks close, and he's off to the wild. Samson sees his son, and decides he has to go after him. So, Samson the lion, along with a group, including a giraffe, an anaconda, a koala, and a squirrel, all team up to find Ryan. Please forgive me, I forgot some almost all of the names from the movie, and each actor portraying them. The cast is only ok, it includes Kiefer Sutherland, Jim Belushi, William Shatner, Janeane Garofalo, and a couple of more people. The story, as I just explained, is very lame and unoriginal. How many animated films have we seen that have a father looking for his missing son, it's so unoriginal. There were a lot of jokes in The Wild. Do you want to know how many times I laughed? The answer is zero times. That's right, this movie didn't make me laugh, giggle, or at least go ha ha. Every joke made during The Wild were unoriginal and very unfunny. So, since the story was lame, stupid, and predictable and the laughs were a zero, I guess that makes a very boring movie. I mean, take this, there were a lot of children in the theatre, they all cried during the movie because they were bored. I even some children begging their parents for the movie to be over. I wanted to cry along with them, especially for me spending over $9 to see it. The only, and I repeat, only good thing in this movie was the beautiful animation. I think it's actually one of the best-looking CGI-animation films I've ever seen. Other than that, it's just another lame, boring, unfunny, and inexcusable piece of CGI trash. I would give The Wild a D-.
