The Wild Thornberrys Movie

My son loves this movie from the old Nick days...when it was clever/funny!

I love this movie, it reminds me of my childhood, I had to repurchase it to watch it again. It has such a great story plot, and I love what the movie represents.

I have always enjoyed the Wild Thornberrys. The premise was cool, the characters were interesting and well-developed (especially as the show moved along), and there was an attempt to portray many different cultures as this family literally traveled around the world. These attempts weren't always successful, but I'll let that go along with the fact that I could never get a motor home as cool as the one that the Thornberrys had. When this movie came along, it didn't simply take a half-hour episode's content and stretch it out for the theaters' benefit. It created a continuation of a story that was perfect for the big screen while allowing the show to subsequently pick up on some of its specific plot threads. Eliza Thornberry and her Chimpanzee companion, Darwin, witness the abduction of a Cheetah cub by poachers. Eliza tries to save her four-legged friend but fails and, because of the danger she put herself in in the process, is sent to a British boarding school at the insistence of her overprotective grandmother. Sure that the Cheetah cub is still alive, Eliza resolves to return to Africa and find him and the poachers before more harm befalls anyone. That's easier said than done and the movie gives a proper amount of time to all aspects of this plan and the setbacks that come along. It is also laced with talented guest stars including Rupert Everett, Marisa Tomei, Kimberly Brooks, and Tim Curry, who, in addition to his starring role as Nigel Thornberry, voices his own father...just listen to the family resemblance. Speaking of Nigel, I think that, in this movie, he proves his capabilities as a father more than in any episode of the show, despite his quirky mannerisms...just listen to his chat with Eliza right before her departure for boarding school...Paul Simon's song is definitely appropriate right after that. This is a top-notch Nickelodeon project for the big screen and no one should miss it. Enjoy.

My son loved the movie

It's a great classic movie. Arrived quickly and in new condition.

I liked that in the end all animals are safe. For my ten year old the suspense was good and for my 8 yr old the animal communication and naughtiness at the boarding school was hilarious.

Very enjoyable and kid friendly movie.

I loved it. It is great for adults and kids; photographer, a family, geography and animals. How can this not relate to everyone??

Great quality.

20 years later to watch with my step daughter and did not disappoint!Perfect condition 👍

This is a Christmas present for my son, which I know he will love the film.

I love the Movie I use to have it on Video when I was in my early teens. But I lost the VHS tape in my last home that I use to live in because I used to move around a lot. In my teens and I have to move twice in my adult years, with a busy life I got I waited 17 years to buy this on DVD.
