For some reason I saw this movie in theaters. Its really bad and makes no sense. I wouldn't recommend it.

Maybe I just wasn't in the mood when I was watching this. Maybe I have seen too many cartoon gags. Whatever it was, I found most of the gags not really funny. I didn't really connect with the characters either.The animation is very beautifully done, but as another reviewer described it, "soulless". Many scenes feel as fillers, detached from the main plot. The last half hour the mood changes from funny to serious and scary. while that part still has some very funny aspects to it, it reminded me a lot of the "be prepared" song in the Lion King, the only part of that movie that I hated.All in all an OK movie. Not boring, not memorable.

I saw this movie with a friend in a theater. We wasted 95 minutes of our life that we cannot get back. The movie is very similar to Madagascar. In some parts, the movie resembles Finding Nemo and the Lion King. It's like they put the 3 movies in a blender.The movie is supposed to be funny, but it's not. There's a few bad puns and some sound effects, but those aren't funny. There's a ton of parts of the movie that make no sense. How can a tugboat cross the ocean? Why is a Squirrel in love with a Giraffe? How can Chameleons make things invisible? Why does a Koala have a British accent? The curling scene has to be the worst scene in the movie. All that happens is that a bunch of antelopes run on the ice, and Samson claims that Ryan endangered everybody. How? All the antelopes did was cause Samson to lose. I know that this is a kid's film, but I doubt that most kids would like it. The Wildebeest are frightening, and the song and dance they perform will give most little kids nightmares. The alligator scene would also scare most kids. There's also quite a bit of adult humour in the film. This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Instead of watching this movie, watch Madagascar, Finding Nemo, and the Lion King.

OK usually this is Dreamwork's job, but this time Disney tried it out. Dreamwork's had a habit of copying a Disney movie and making it worse. For one of the first times Dreamwork's made its own original movie called Madagascar. What does Disney do? It makes a bigger rip-off than Dreamworks ever has.The wild literally copied and pasted the same plot from Madagascar (except for the end). A troop of animals from a zoo end up getting transferred. The group of animals is fairly similar: A main character that is a lion, a side kick who is now a Koala, and large female character who is a Giraffe, and a snake that actually has almost no purpose to the movie. None of these characters are really enjoyable, and they seemed dull. Also the jokes all fell flat. There was even a crotch hit joke that seemed just as childish as all crotch jokes.When the zoo animals eventually make it to the island that isn't Madagascar, but it is still in Africa. It turns out that Disney said that dancing Lemur's would've been too much of a rip-off so they decided to make dancing wildebeest. Seriously? Dancing wildebeest.As you can tell this movie is pretty bad in the fact that it is a 100% rip off of Madagascar. The only difference is that the wildebeest befriend the Koala as a God, which isn't too far from Alex the lion becoming the savior of the Lemurs. So watch a good movie like Madagascar instead of this.
