The Wild (2006)


Buena Vista Pictures
Directed by Steve "Spaz" Williams
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb Wikipedia
(Blu-ray, Disney)

Animals in a New York City zoo bide their time playing turtle curling. A bored young lion dreams of going back to the wild, and after a fight with his father manages to escape. Dad and friends go in hot pursuit, eventually ending up in Africa. An erupting volcano is causing the animals there to evacuate. However, his son is captured by a large group of wildebeests who live under the volcano. Their leader wants to change the food chain by eating a lion. Dad and son must defeat them by finding their "roar". Disney animated film doesn't always make a lot of sense, tends to be dark rather than funny, and then gets bogged down under the volcano with the wildebeests for far too long.
