An ill-assorted bunch of New York Zoo residents must rediscover their inner-animal to rescue one of their number who has been accidentally shipped to the wild ...
There are those who claim, author Christopher Booker amongst them, that the world’s storytellers recycle just seven basic plots. The filmmakers behind The Wild, the directorial debut of visual effects veteran Steve "Spaz" Williams (The Mask), seem to be intent on paring this back even further.
While there’s much to recommend in Disney’s latest children’s feature, which is attempting to quite literally claw back some ground from Pixar and DreamWorks, it’s never going to be able to shake off an unnerving sense of deja vu.
