Madagascar 2 ? Barely

It was always going to seem derivative.

Random collection of animals leave New York Zoo for a trip to "The Wild". OK, it wasn't Madagascar (wrong side of Africa), but it was similar. Except it was lacking life, pace and the jokes for both adult and children alike which characterised Madagascar.

Saving graces? The little ones liked it, even if the Indian pigeons weren't understood, and Eddie Izzard's ever so camp koala stole the show.

They're making a sequel to Madagascar. I doubt they will make a sequel to this film.

Funny = The Wild...

Possibly the funniest film I've seen in a long time. Great graphics, a really engaging storyline and some of the funniest scenes I think I've ever seen... 'Look I'm a starfish'

Loved it !

A good animation film, very much aimed at children but can be enjoyed by adults too.

One to enjoy without having to think or concentrate too much, very light hearted and enjoyable.

Love animated stories...and it is always fun to guess the actors/actresses behind the characters lol.

The Wild

Similar to Madagascar but have to say not as good.

Story line was good until they got onto the island then it all seemed over far too quick

Disney should do better

Madagascar, Nemo, Lion King etc. throw them all together and this is what you get without being half as good . Awesome animation though, and the kids like it.

Hilarious

This was extremely funny and Eddie Izzard as the koala bear from London was hilarious.

The wild? the wilted

Madagasgar meets Lion King, but with less story line than a wilted lettuce leaf.

The Wild

Could and should have been so much better. Formulaic story (as a storyteller and writer I know what I'm saying!) with formulaic character set. Nice bouncy pace. Nearly a tingly visual contrast with the moments of 'evil ritual' but not developed enough - scared of scaring the kiddies, were we?! - so ends up clunky. Pleasant pap for keeping kids quiet, but not bright ones...
