Movie Summary
A handful of zoo animals leave behind their well-protected environment for the streets of the big city in this computer-animated comedy. Sampson (voice of Kiefer Sutherland) is the king of a make-believe jungle far from the African plains -- hes a lion on display at a zoo in New York Citys Central Park, and he lords it over the other animals, including Nigel (voice of Eddie Izzard), a testy koala bear; Larry, a dumb but well-meaning snake; Kazar (voice of William Shatner), a wildebeest with a will to power and a passion for choreography; Bridget (voice of Janeane Garofalo), a bright but cynical giraffe; and Benny (voice of Jim Belushi), a very New York-ish squirrel who is good friends with Sampson and is trying to romance Bridget without much success. The pride and joy of Sampsons life is his son, Ryan (voice of Greg Cipes), and hes devastated when one day Ryan is crated up and sent away to another zoo. Sampson is desperate to find his boy, and with the help of his pals he escapes the zoo and sets out on a rescue mission. However, midtown Manhattan is a new and unfamiliar territory for Sampson and the other critters, and they have a hard time adjusting to the concrete canyons of the Big Apple. The Wild was the first directorial credit for animator and special-effects artist Steve Spaz Williams. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
