Stifled: This is a strange concept. On one hand, the jungle is the ideal setting for the show, but staying there doesnt differentiate it enough to justify a movie. On the other hand, a boarding school, while different, is a stupid setting for a show about animals. And after they go to the trouble to change scenery, they go back to the jungle within 20 minutes. Its such a waste of time that could have been spent fleshing out and building up the poachers more. As it is, I find myself questioning the existence of this movie. It could have easily been a TV special instead. And while the content of the movie isnt exactly terrible, its just a bunch of ideas that clash and make it seem pointless. I have to fault a movie for failing as a concept, even if its technically better than a few things I ranked above it.

Traviss Opinion: I thought for sure a movie with a ton of animals would amuse Travis, but it did not. I prompted him to look a few times and he told me the animals on the screen when I did. But he was just not having it.

Karo: The Wild Thornberrys is a nickelodeon series about a family who lives in the untamed wilderness, and judging from the both the daughter's ability to speak the language of beasts and the family's appearance, it is clear that their ancestors mated passionately with animals on multiple occasions (or at the very least with their own siblings).
So anyway, Eliza Thornberry tangles with some poachers, and because of this her parents just now realize that the jungle is actually an unsafe place to raise children and ship her off to school in england. Their other two kids they apparently dont give a damn about and they are fine with them being eaten by a boa constrictor or whatever. The whole school trip has absolutely nothing to do with the plot of the movie, no sooner is Eliza settled in than she has a vision and sneaks back to africa to protect the environment. Why even have her go there in the first place? Not only is it irrelevant, it is completely out of place with the series as a whole. It honestly feels like they just took a script from an episode of the TV series and just stretched it out until you can hear the bones and ligaments snapping.
Much like the TV show the characters, particularly Eliza, are designed in such a grotesque manner as to cause real physical illness. There seriously needs to be a restraining order put on Gabor Csupo to keep him from drawing any more bug-eyed, big-lipped mounds of human flesh with a ballpoint pen while drunk and calling it 'art'.
Nickelodeons tiresome brand of humor involving flatulence, wedgies and such is of course present in full force, and makes what little gravitas the story has impossible to take seriously.
It is just a thoroughly unpleasant viewing experience that should be thrown into the darkest depths of cartoon hell to be flayed alive for all eternity.
