The Wild	comment	A movie distributed by Disney (but made by the now-defunct Canadian C.O.R.E. Feature Animation studio) starring Samson the lion (voiced by Kiefer Sutherland) and his son, Ryan (voiced by Greg Cipes), a squirrel named Benny (voiced by Jim Belushi), an anaconda named Larry (voiced by Richard Kind), a giraffe named Bridget (voiced by Janeane Garofalo), and a koala named Nigel (voiced by Eddie Izzard).When a disastrous attempt to prove himself leads to a falling out with his dad, Ryan is accidentally shipped away to the African wild. A remorseful Samson searches for him with help from his friends, but during their search, they notice Samson's odd behavior, unusual for a lion of his caliber. Things get worse when the gang encounter wildebeest led by the wicked and insane Kazar (voiced by William Shatner) who wants wildebeests to become top of the food chain.In Europe, this film is considered to be the 39th film in the Disney Animated Canon; in America, Dinosaur has that spot.

The Wild / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License – Biology: Ryan is stated to be 11 years old in the movie. Even though he's still a cub, realistically a lion his age would be considered middle-aged. note Then again, he may just be 11 years old in lion years. Contrary to Kazar's claims, wildebeest cannot consume or digest meat as they are strict herbivores. Justified in that Kazar is clearly insane.

While Samson isn't perfect himself and struggles with being a father, he is far more considerate towards his own son, Ryan, and goes out of his way to rescue him when Ryan accidentally gets shipped off to the wild. Ryan even admits that he's glad to have Samson as his father by the end of the movie.

Samson tries to be better towards his own son Ryan, but his embellished stories about being from the wild and fighting wildebeest ironically only serve to alienate Ryan and make him feel like he can't live up to his father. It gets to the point where, after accidentally causing a stampede in the zoo, Ryan tries to run away to the wild when Samson angrily snaps at him and insinuates he did so because he couldn't roar.

However, when he leaves the zoo, it quickly becomes apparent that he's not as competent as he says he is; he runs from dogs, refuses to eat a rude hyrax, elects to run from the wildebeest he says he easily defeated in his stories, and lacks any real savage instincts. It eventually comes out that he was Raised In Captivity and never actually set foot into the wild before the movie.

Then Samson berates his son endangering everyone in the zoo with said stampede, calls him out for always moping around, and asks if he did this because he couldn't roar. The look on his son's face tells us that Samson immediately regretted saying that and instantly tried to apologize. We later learn why he felt bad saying that.

A talking koala (modeled after one of the main characters, no less) doll falls from an airplane, saving the life of a wildebeest, who reveres it as divine and sets up a Religion of Evil around it.

It finally erupts at the end of the movie, but everyone (barring Kazar, who dies in the eruption) escapes at the last moment.

The Wild / int_e5fd8bc2	comment	Hate Sink: There are a lot of reasons for the viewers to hate Samson's father. He forces his son to roar at a mechanical wildebeest, showing zero support when the poor cub is nervous, and when he is unable to, he gets put in a cage. His father is also fine with Samson getting taken away to the zoo with zero remorse. All these make that lion even more despicable than Kazar.
