The Wild Thornberrys	comment	The Wild Thornberrys was a Nicktoon that ran from 1998 to 2004, produced by Klasky-Csupo of Rugrats fame, (deep breath) created by Arlene Klasky, Gabor Csupo, Steve Pepoon, David Silvermannote not to be confused with the animator of the same name who is best known for his work on The Simpsons and Stephen Sustarsic, and developed by Mark Palmer, Jeff Astrof and Mike Sikowitz.The show centers around Eliza Thornberry, an adventurous young girl who can talk to animals, an especially handy power when your parents travel the world to make Nature Documentaries. Naturally, there's a catch—she can't tell anyone she has this power, or else she loses it, and presumably, the shaman who gave it to her to begin with would be hard-pressed to give it back again. The cast is filled out by the aforementioned parents Nigel and Marianne Thornberry, the Nature Documentary's presenter and camerawoman respectively and Eliza's older sister, the deadpan and deeply-unenthusiastic- about-her-parents'-career Debbie. Also along for the ride was the deeply neurotic chimpanzee Darwin, and crazy wild jungle boy Donnie, Eliza's adopted younger brother.The series has three films to its name, the Made-for-TV Movie The Wild Thornberrys: The Origin of Donnie (2001), and two theatrical films: The Wild Thornberrys Movie (2002), and the Crossover movie Rugrats Go Wild! (2003). This show has examples of some of the only non-villainous roles in Tim Curry's career - Nigel Thornberry and his father.

The Wild Thornberrys / int_18aff462	type	Artistic License â€“ Biology
The Wild Thornberrys / int_18aff462	comment	Artistic License â€“ Biology In "The Dragon and the Professor", Eliza claims the Komodo dragon is the largest reptile in the world. It is actually the largest lizard (the title of largest living reptile belongs to the saltwater crocodile). The Komodo dragon depicted in the episode, in terms of scale, is much larger than real-life dragons, and is much more in line with its extinct relative Megalania. "Reef Grief" featured dugongs that resembled manatees more than dugongs and could communicate over long distances through humpback whale songs. Dugongs actually communicate through chirps and barks, and possibly infrasound. If the episode is set at sea, you can count on a Super Persistent Threatening Shark to try to eat at least one of the main characters. In reality, sharks spend much energy simply maintaining their body temperature, and strongly prefer fatty prey that's sure to give the shark a return on calories. "Kuality and Kuantity" featured a lyrebird that looked nothing like a lyrebird. Also, the koalas have only one thumb instead of two. In "Luck Be An Aye-Aye" the aye-aye did not have the long fingers that the species is well known for. "Bogged Down" had a stonefish (referred to as a rockfish, which can be a term for the species) which more closely resembled a lionfish. While dingoes can be a danger to humans (especially children), they're not likely to specifically hunt down one person like the eponymous ones in "Dances with Dingoes". The alligators from "Time Flies" have their lower teeth visible when their mouths are closed. They are also colored green, when real alligators are gray or black. On the other hand, their jaws are correctly wide and U-shaped. Sumatran rhinos are portrayed with only one horn, like an Indian rhino or a Javan rhino. Real Sumatran rhinos have two horns. Big cats are portrayed with slitted pupils like domestic cats, instead of round pupils. Wombats are portrayed as making high, chattering squirrel noises. In reality, they sound like this. Tasmanian devils are colored brown instead of black, and they also make dog-like whining noises. At least they otherwise look and (mostly) act like the real animals, unlike the most popular one in cartoons. Leopards are inconsistently drawn with solid spots or the accurate rosettes. Meanwhile, jaguars are portrayed with leopard-like rosettes (they're missing the dots in the center). Rabbits are drawn with paw pads and pink cat-like noses, both of which rabbits lack in real life. The tie-in book "Can't Have Ants" features a tamandua that looks like a giant anteater (down to the coloring and bushy tail), and a two-toed sloth is identified as a three-toed sloth. The common ravens featured in the Playstation game The Wild Thornberrys Animal Adventure have their beaks and feet colored yellow instead of black. Coconut husks in "Thornberry Island" are hairy like the shells, rather than having glossy skin. Cheetahs are portrayed as willing to hunt humans if sufficiently hungry. Actual cheetahs simply do not view humans as prey animals, and if a real mother cheetah were to attack Elisa for interacting with her cub, it would be to keep her cub from becoming Elisa's prey.

The Wild Thornberrys / int_401d4116	type	Broken Aesop
The Wild Thornberrys / int_401d4116	comment	Broken Aesop: In "Valley Girls", Eliza takes a tape recorder from Debbie without asking for permission. After trying to take a boulder from some gorillas to push the ComVee out of the mud, she learns from the gorillas that if you want something, you should ask for it. A very great lesson for the kidsâ€”except for the fact that Debbie would have said no if Eliza asked. In "Hello Dolphin!", Nigel explains to Marianne that sharks are misunderstood creatures, with most shark bites being inquisitive inspections. Same episode later then has a shark relentlessly attacking the family and the raft they're on, even after being hit on the snout with a diving cylinder. (It was attracted to the scent of Debbie's blood, but still.) In "Cheetahs Never Prosper", one of Eliza's more moderate actions — trying to spray a little water so a cheetah mother and cub can have a drink during the dry season — is forbidden by her parents on the grounds that it would be interfering with nature. Fair enough, except that Eliza's habit of assisting any wild animal she comes across (or simply playing with them because they exist) is very well known by her parents. If adopting a full grown male chimp from the Congo was interfering with nature, they never said anything about it.

Mortified, she pushes him away from her and chides him for his actions. Not long after, she learns that biting is part of their mating rituals and essentially means they've accepted one another. She spends the rest of the episode trying to rectify her mistake.

The Wild Thornberrys / int_4c4bebf4	comment	Artistic License â€“ Paleontology: Eliza claims in one episode that alligators are "the closest things we have to a living dinosaur". In reality, ostriches and cassowaries are much closer (to a prehistoric dinosaur anyways, since all birds are biologically dinosaurs). That said, crocodilians are the closest living relatives of dinosaurs, including birds. In the April Fools episode, Nigel refers to an alleged relic pterosaurnote a reference to the kongamato, seeing as how they're in Africa (which is called a "pterodactyl" as usual and predictably turns out to be an April Fools joke) as a "flying dinosaur". Pterosaurs weren't dinosaurs at all.

The Wild Thornberrys / int_7286e96d	comment	Idiot Ball: Bringing your father's birthday present into the middle of a swamp and then fighting over it in a boat couldn't possibly result in it going overboard. When Eliza discovers Donnie smuggling an Aye Aye in the ComVee, she hides it from her parents and brings it into the village where she knows the people are superstitious of it... even though she saw where its nest was and her parents almost certainly would have helped return it to safety. Eliza doesn't bother calling the elephants for help through infrasound in "Birthday Quake", even though she's already done so with the same herd in an earlier episode. In "The Wild Snob-Berry", musician Shane G. completely disregards Eliza's warnings and ends up angering a mother grizzly bear and immediately afterwards a wolverine. Instead of worrying about the fact that he's endangered everyone, he wants everyone to film it because it will "help his image" as a singer.

The Wild Thornberrys / int_fb724048	comment	Real After All: The girl in "Naimina Enkiyio", ambiguously. Eliza sees her reflection on the muddy waters. Later she found her necklace in the same spot Eliza tried to make a bed to rest. She hears her calling her name. Then we see her on a tree branch watching the tribe and the Thornberrys, but her silhouette turned out to be the leaves and her "eyes" were the moon.

The Wild Thornberrys / int_ffad4e9f	type	Shown Their Work
The Wild Thornberrys / int_ffad4e9f	comment	Shown Their Work: Zoologists were hired as series consultants to ensure that all the animals depicted on the show were done so accurately and in their natural habitats. For example, that female lions do most of the hunting, komodo dragons smell with their tongues, camels store fat and not water, African elephants can communicate through infrasounds, hippos are extremely territorial and not cute, lazy animals portrayed on the media (as Eliza's cousin erroneously thought), etc. A lot of work was also put into showing accurate portrayals of the indigenous peoples and their cultures and lifestyles. For example, in the episode "Luck Be An Aye Aye", the people of Madagascar try to kill an aye-aye Eliza befriends because they regard it as an ill omen, which unfortunately is also the case in real life.
