The movie going public is'nt kind to feature hand drawn cartoons like this one. It looks too much like a saturday morning cartoon with its childish animation and grating voices but families with children will like it! The story develops quickly,... Full review

A feature spin-off from the animated series produced by kids TV and movie specialists Nickleodeon, The Wild Thornberrys is splendid entertainment for the 8-12 age group and good fun for just about everyone else.
Directed by Cathy Malkasian and Jeff McGrath, whose credits include Duckman and Rugrats, The Wild Thornberrys is a winner that doesn't attempt to rival Pixar and Disney in the technical animation stakes but has as much heart and life as anything made by the big guns.

The film, which has been unimaginatively titled "The Wild Thornberrys Movie," joins "The Rugrats" as one of only a handful of TV 'toons that have made that transition successfully.
The Wild Thornberrys Movie" is rated PG for scenes of animated violence (animal abuse) and peril, as well as some vulgar humor relating to bodily functions.

The Wild Thornberrys Movie, a spin-off from an animated TV series, is a surprisingly entertaining story of a jolly Anglo-American family making wildlife documentaries in Africa.
The film's draughtsmanship is more than adequate, the voicing of the characters excellent, and the songs are way above average for such fare.

" The Wild Thornberrys Movie " is a jolly surprise, an energetic and eccentric animated cartoon about a decidedly peculiar family making a documentary in Africa.
The charm of " The Wild Thornberrys Movie " comes from its zany visual style, the energy of the voiceover actors and the fine balance of action that is thrilling but not too scary.
