This animation reminds me of Happy Feet, realistic yet cartoony. If you have time, you should check out jungle book 2016 and Mowgli: legend of the jungle. Both of these films had animals with more expressive faces. You can also check out Aslan from the 2005 narnia and the modern planet of the apes films, same thing with them.
If you count "this film was made with currently existing technology" as a style, then sure. It looks the way it does because of the tech and expertise they had at the time. They were clearly aiming for something closer to realism, but that's as good as they (they meaning that studio) could get.
@@RichterTheRat No, we really did not. At least not from what I remember or in any of the games I still play from that time. What games are you thinking about?
I find it weird / incredible that out of all the less popular Disney films, this is one I almost never see defended or even remembered. Even Black Cauldron gets more attention, and it was cast so far into the Disney Vault it's never been re-released.
I remember having the dvd home release as a kid. And man, even THAT was low effort. Almost NO special features at a time when special features like bloopers and simple minigames were THE reason to get the dvd version!
Huh. Another comparison between this and Madagascar is that movie’s DVD release had a TON of random special features. It had secret side selections and a whole code cracking thing going on in all the menus, and when you completed it, you got to play a quick time event style stealth game with the penguins. It was pretty interesting.

same, god it looked so familiar, and then i saw the seen with the ice hockey or whatever and i suddenly got ptsd flashbacks to sitting on the carpet floor of some family friend's house and being super invested in watching this which theyd put on as a throwaway movie to keep the kids entertained
The only reason I remember this movie is because me and my brother had two crappy happy meal toys of coala doing the statue of liberty pose. And it always pissed me off. They were big and useless and stood out against mostly legos and kinder toys. Literally the only time we used them is to proxy statue of liberty. The worst part is i can stil vividly remember every texture on this damn thing. The fur, the fire of the torch, rough bricks on the sides of base. Hate this damn panda. Both of them.
I think everyone has one shitty happy meal toy ingrained into their mind, I remember a gross rubbery puss in boots toy that just span when you turned a crank, THATS IT
@@delusion5867I somehow as a kid got ahold of what I believe was a Happy Meal's toy for the _Gargoyles_ animated series. It was the main gargoyle encased in stone "petals" held together by spring tension, and by pressing a button the stone would spin, with the centrifugal force splaying apart the "petals" as they spun around and thus revealed the character. You can bet your ass I did my best to spin that thing at like Mach 5 speed, lol.
I'm honestly kind of interested in the backstory of THE WILD (2006) now that I'm older. For example, the Bug's Life / Antz thing happened due to Jeffrey Katzenberg splitting from Disney, and taking the concept of a movie about insects with him when he founded Dreamworks. So I wonder how the Madagascar / THE WILD (2006) backstory unfolded.
I always interested when similar idea simultaneously conceived from 2 different sources. Stuff like Dennis the Menace (US & UK version, which is back before internet was a thing even)
My experience with Wild was, in all seriousness, watching it in school on a TV on one of those rolling tables. Wow. It was probably 5th grade for me as well. Though my teacher wasn’t hungover, I was.
I thought this movie was a sequel to Madagascar and got my mom to take me to see it. Nice memory of watching it with her, I remember her being slightly put off by it's more strange choices.
@@xionkuriyama5697 they have completely different animation styles, none of the characters look like the ones in Madagascar, and it literally says it's a disney movie on the poster, and Madagascar is a dreamworks movie.
This movie may be medicore af and way less watchable than Madagascar, but it introduced me to the bands Coldplay and Lifehouse at a young age, so it has a place in my heart ❤
I had the same experience, this movie was the single thing that got me into Coldplay so its the only reason a still remember it and call it one of the most influential movies in my life
"It's weird that A Bugs Life and Antz came out around the same time." Far from, Katzenberg was in regular talks with friends who still worked at Disney and Pixar. And there's more than enough circumstantial evidence to suggest that he actively did this multiple times given how Disney and Dreamworks film releases just happened to have similar premises releasing within the same 12 month window.
I always thought it was really compelling how Samson felt helpless to fight because he was raised in captivity. Even before he admitted it, you could tell he was afraid and avoided fights as much as possible. It’s a fairly unique concept and it doesn’t get the credit it deserves.
I also kind of like this animation, it reminds me of Happy Feet. If you have time, you should check out jungle book 2016 and Mowgli: legend of the jungle.

Yes also Kazar is probably my favorite wildebeests are my favorite animal Interesting he wants to be predator which is new cause I see he’s watched his kind hunted by lions William shatner played a good job
This video unlocked a memory I didn't know I had, I'm pretty sure I really liked it as a kid but I doubt I'd be able to finish it now. Truly the actual forgotten disney animated movie.
the opening to the movie has always stuck with me, there's some really neat stylised CG for the time with how much they pushed it to be more cartoony shame the rest of the movie couldn't have looked that weird & wacky
The only thing I remember from this movie is getting me into clocks by Coldplay. That scene where they’re oohing and ahhing at the city still sticks to me to this day
When I was in 5th grade our entire class was taken to the gym to watch this on a big projector, we also watched Mel Gibson's The Patriot too. Looking back, it's kind of hard to believe they were allowed to show us that.
Yeah, people would've rioted if my school had pulled that. We had to wait until high school before watching The Patriot and even then we needed to get permission slips signed because it was rated R and we were all like fifteen
@@amethyst_cat9532Really? That's dumb. In my highschool English class we watched "Oh brother where art thou" and we didn't need any signed paper slips.
I had the GBA game as a kid, and man I forgot all about it until seeing your gameplay. The squirrel levels were always the worst, I could never get past them
Funny how The Wild not only feels like a Madagascar ripoff, but also a Barnyard ripoff in some extents, with its varied attempts at absurd, bizarre humor, the animals having a party-like lifestyle at night and the Adam Sandler-like dynamics of the protagonists.
The Wild was a memory I refused to forget because I had the DvD for it. Would rewatch it so much because I found the animation process fascinating. One of the funniest movies I watched as a kid too. Don't know. It did a well job not leaving me bored. Included some good songs too.
slight correction; If you are to experience no other part of this film, PLEASE look up the 'Really Nice Day' song and listen to it. It's actually a fucking good song for no goddamn reason and i regularly get it stuck in my head
I know I watched this movie quite a bit through pay-per-view when it came out when I was roughly 5, I know that vividly and yet my brain never fails to just forget this movie exists at all
I actually grew up watching this movie many times when I was like five or six years old, and it was super fun to watch for young me, considering the fact that my favorite animals are lions and they still are to this day.
I too had a weird history with The Wild as I only ever saw it through a bootleg dvd but from Mexico when I was short when me and my family went to Jalisco to visit relatives. It also had Ice Age The Meltdown and Over The Hedge. Though with Ice Age, it would lead to a separate menu that's using the movie's official website as a menu for audio and subtitles. But with Over the Hedge, the quality was super pixely compressed and there was no sound. So it was an odd movie that I would mostly watch it in the Spanish dub because of how I watched it growing up. Same with The Sword and the Stone as we only had the Spanish dubbed VHS of it.
After seeing how amazing that movie was when I was 3-5, I use to play with animal toys in pre-k by reenacting the movie while not many other kids have seen or heard of it as they thought I had really good imagination and storytelling by playing the toy animals that look like in the movie
1:17 "Hippo Twerk" You have no idea how many people that have been on the Internet for too long have been getting hooked on stuff like this from 2005-2006 💀
It was still really easy to teeter into the uncanny valley with mid-00s CGI. Madagascar and Ice Age managed to work because there was a cohesive design language for the whole world. Everything in The Wild is either too shiny, too off-model, too realistic, or somehow a combination of the three.
I think I prefer Madagascar because of how it’s stylised it’s harder to see some of the imperfections especially over time. The wild is trying so hard to be realistic that now it looks extremely obsolete
Had a lot of fun watching this video, especially when you edited movie clips over mufasa's death 😂 And you intrigued me in checking out the GBA game You gained a sub
The only things I remember about this movie are the chameleons, the Shatner wildebeest, and the weirdness of an animated film doing the whole "trying to pass off Toronto as New York" thing you sometimes see in live-action shows and movies.
I've been recently thinking about that movie after remembering I saw some parts of it on those portable DVD players. I always thought about an alternate timeline where The Wild got all those sequels and spinoffs while Madagascar only had one movie
wow never watched this one as a kid and almost wish I did. And a movie about wildebeests worshipping a stuff koala bear under an active volcano sounds like a perfect plot for a different animated film haha. Another classic Yungjunko
Yeah and What He Said Is that The Wild Isn’t Part of the Disney Cannon and Wasn’t Animated By Disney at all, It Was Made by a Company Called Core Animation
@@thekeybladeninjaturtle7380 Plus, Another Fact Is That Not A Single Character From Valiant Appears In Disney’s Once Upon A Studio Short Because It Was Made By Vanguard Animation
I saw this once as a kid and it gave me that nervous feeling like when you are in a bad dream. Then, I thought it was a fever dream for the rest of my life till now.
All i remember from the advertising of this movie was seeing the clip of "Who put that bar there" so many goddamn times 😂 i dont remember anything else from the movie tbh
I give you a thumbs up and a comment (ForTheAlgorithm!) EVEN THOUGH you just put that song on your end credits. That's how good your work still is. Hahahah Positive Vibes - great vid!
For my family this is decinitely a "Netflix movie" one us kids minda wanted to see but not too badly so we waited for it to be available through Netflix DVD rentals, watched it once before sending it back. All in all this movie was in our house for a couple days at best and I don't think me or my siblings even finished watching it.
This wonderful movie had so much potential that has no reason to be hated because the story itself was incredible and I thought there's going to be a franchise after it (as I always dreamed of) but nothing happened due to so much hatred to this poor masterpiece
The best part of this movie was William Shatner's actually good voice acting (not phoned in, as you'd expect for a quick animated role), and the way his character was animated. The animators really went all out with him and punctuated Shatner's acting perfectly.
I bet this The Wild vs Madagascar and Shark Tale vs Finding Nemo business got inspiration from the similarities of Antz and A Bug's Life. Except while at least both Antz and A Bug's Life were good, only Finding Nemo and Madagascar were good
I remember the reason I saw this movie was because of a school event. If you placed within a certain score the school took you to movies instead of class, but this was the movie they took us to. Side note, I owned Chicken Little for the gameboy advance it racing and dodgeball mini games were pretty fun. The only weird thing about the story mode is Chicken Little fights with a Yo-yo.
I was 9 years old When I saw movies like The Wild,Delgo,Happily Never After, Robot and Hoodwink!Now that I’m 26 movies don’t really hold up 2023 to 2024. I wish any company rebooted the franchise, make them like the spider verse or Puss in boots the last wish!
I remember as a kid my family always bought the dvds you'd find in Walmart 1 dollar bins and this movie open season and Poppers Pinguins where the movies I'd watch every day lmao
Weirdly enough, I enjoyed this movie as a kid. Even now, i consider it more "meh" than bad. There are some surprisingly good lines in it and some ideas, like you said, COULD have been more fleshed out into their own stories and even been good. But as is, it is definitely one of the movies of all time.
i got this movie as a kid on like a bootleg dvd or something, and i watched it several times cause i found it silly and funny so i cant really hate on it even though i see its flaws... i guess it was a guilty pleasure for me indeed

I give you a thumbs up and a comment (ForTheAlgorithm!) EVEN THOUGH you just put that song on your end credits.
That's how good your work still is. Hahahah
Positive Vibes - great vid!
2006 : best year for animations movies
And the wild movie was last seen in the garbage
@@alexdopson7569 it was a good movie
I remember watching this in elementary school gymasium on a projector. As a kid i enhoyed it but didn't really remember much from it.
I've never ever seen this movie but the line "who put that bar there" lives rent free in my head from the commercial.
Why is it that it seems like every time, a student has a horrible teacher in their life, then the student ends up becoming successful?
What horrible teacher?
A Movie and Game Review about a film no one cares about… YES PLZ!!
I remember seeing this on a coming soon to video thing that would play before a movie
2:33 Samuel de La Miel after hearing that Magic Rainbow will be taking his show's timeslot
I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers this movie
For my family this is decinitely a "Netflix movie" one us kids minda wanted to see but not too badly so we waited for it to be available through Netflix DVD rentals, watched it once before sending it back.
All in all this movie was in our house for a couple days at best and I don't think me or my siblings even finished watching it.
This movie is a weird cross between Finding Nemo and Madagascar, but without the charm of either of them.
“The Adventures of Jack Bauer Who Dresses Up Like A Lion And Has 24 Hours To Find Beast Boy in His Lion Form”
Am I weird for having liked this movie as a kid and really wanting to rewatch it 😭
Not weird at all, I’m the same way 😀
@@josephrusso4828me too
This wonderful movie had so much potential that has no reason to be hated because the story itself was incredible and I thought there's going to be a franchise after it (as I always dreamed of) but nothing happened due to so much hatred to this poor masterpiece
That was a really good Joe impression.
where is the clip of the old man stepping onto the metro train tracks from??
The best part of this movie was William Shatner's actually good voice acting (not phoned in, as you'd expect for a quick animated role), and the way his character was animated. The animators really went all out with him and punctuated Shatner's acting perfectly.
Good job on the video, man 👍
Killer Warburton Impression
Awesome vid too
👍
Your voice is capable of doing a perfect Patrick Warburton. BRAVO!
I bet this The Wild vs Madagascar and Shark Tale vs Finding Nemo business got inspiration from the similarities of Antz and A Bug's Life. Except while at least both Antz and A Bug's Life were good, only Finding Nemo and Madagascar were good
I has the audio cassette tape of the book(?) version of this movie. I used to listen to it every night for a period of my life.
Did anyone here actually like this movie? I loved this
the animation is incredible though, especially for 2006 wow
Along with Over the Hedge, Open Season, and Happy Feet
I remember the reason I saw this movie was because of a school event. If you placed within a certain score the school took you to movies instead of class, but this was the movie they took us to.
Side note, I owned Chicken Little for the gameboy advance it racing and dodgeball mini games were pretty fun. The only weird thing about the story mode is Chicken Little fights with a Yo-yo.
That was a very good Warburton.
I was 9 years old When I saw movies like The Wild,Delgo,Happily Never After, Robot and Hoodwink!Now that I’m 26 movies don’t really hold up 2023 to 2024. I wish any company rebooted the franchise, make them like the spider verse or Puss in boots the last wish!
Oh, man.. _Delgo_ is one I totally forgot about.
Ah yes, my biggest guilty pleasure movie of all time.
I remember as a kid my family always bought the dvds you'd find in Walmart 1 dollar bins and this movie open season and Poppers Pinguins where the movies I'd watch every day lmao
Weirdly enough, I enjoyed this movie as a kid. Even now, i consider it more "meh" than bad. There are some surprisingly good lines in it and some ideas, like you said, COULD have been more fleshed out into their own stories and even been good. But as is, it is definitely one of the movies of all time.
i got this movie as a kid on like a bootleg dvd or something, and i watched it several times cause i found it silly and funny so i cant really hate on it even though i see its flaws... i guess it was a guilty pleasure for me indeed
I knew I didn't dream this up, thanks for proving my fever dream a memory 🙏🏼
Ah yes... The Wild 💀
Some would call it a *MAD* ripoff
The Wild!? Woah....
