Encyclopedic overview
The Wild is a 2006 animated adventure comedy film directed by Steve "Spaz" Williams with a screenplay by Ed Decter, John J. Strauss, Mark Gibson and Philip Halprin, and featuring the voices of Kiefer Sutherland, Eddie Izzard, Jim Belushi, Janeane Garofalo, Richard Kind, Greg Cipes, Patrick Warburton and William Shatner. The film's plot centers around Samson, a male lion who loses his pre-teen son, Ryan, who wanders off and accidentally gets shipped from the Central Park Zoo to Africa, leading his father to team up with a group of animals as they embark on a journey to save his lost son.
Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, Hoytyboy Pictures, Sir Zip Studios, Contrafilm, and C.O.R.E. Feature Animation, The Wild was animated by C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures, and released by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution in North America on April 14, 2006. The film earned $102 million on an $80 million budget, making it a commercial failure. Reviews were largely negative, with many critics comparing it unfavorably to Madagascar (2005), Finding Nemo (2003), and The Lion King (1994). It was the only film produced by C.O.R.E. before they shut down in 2010.
