Chicago Tribune - Michael Wilmington
It has a good director, snazzy visuals and some really funny animals, and that's at least half the battle.
60
The New York Times - Unnamed
While the kids are giggling at gambling pigeons and psychedelic chameleons, parents can enjoy a screenplay sensitive to the travails of single fatherhood and the evils of oppression. In The Wild, the most valuable weapons are honesty, tolerance and the ability to be oneself.
58
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - Sean Axmaker
It's a bright, swiftly paced story with some spirited humor.
50
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
Lifting a concept isn't exactly foreign to the world of animation (what's "The Lion King" if not "Bambi" with manes?), but it isn't often a rip-off gets as blatant as The Wild, a flat-out regurgitation of "Madagascar."

Washington Post - Desson Thomson
Adult humor in kiddie films -- of which there is plenty in The Wild -- is not only welcome but, for many adult viewers, essential.
