Summary: We Are Huge Fans
Review: My, now 6 year old, grandaughter and I have been devoted fans of The Wild Thornberrys for as long as they have been on Nickelodian so when we found out the Movie was coming out, I just knew it would be a wonderful Holiday treat for us. We went to an afternoon showing, shared popcorn and soda and thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing. I find it very entertaining personally and I love the message that weaves through each TV segment and which was very evident throughout the movie about protecting the animals. My grandaughter even calls me up to remind me when it's on and I plan to purchase the video for her (to share with me of course)! for an Easter basket gift. Hoorah for the entire production company, and my only request, PLEASE MAKE A SEQUEL SOON!!!!!

Summary: Buy it for the title track!
Review: Sweet film. My kids loved it, my 5 year old hasn't stopped talking about the baboon's pink bottom 2 weeks and counting after!

But for all u music fiends and especially all u Paul Simon fans. Buy this DVD for the title track, which is performed end to end by the MAN himself, as an extra on the DVD.

A stunningly simple and yet so brilliant Paul Simon tune about a father's love for his daughter, that I am now single mindedly practicing on the guitar, to be able to sing to my lil girl on Christmas Eve!

Enjoy!

Summary: Entertaining for young and old alike!
Review: The theme of this movie is revealed on the theatrical posters. "You don't have to have extraordinary powers to do extraordinary things." What an empowering message for children saturated by super-powered heros every day of the week, as well as on the big screen!
The Thornberrys are a weekly cartoon and we'd never seen it, but the previews in the theaters looked so good, we thought we'd try it.
Needless to say, at 62, I and my wife were the oldest people in the theater by far.
We weren't disappointed. There was a lot of business thrown in for the younger set, (Mud, food fights, etc.) but also a lot of funny things which appealed to adults. Especially the sarcastic valley girl older sister, who learns some lessons herself. It's the kind of humor animators have been slipping into kids shows on television to keep the adults in the audience too. The story is good if you are willing to go along with it, after all, it is a cartoon!
As soon as I got home, I emailed my sisters suggesting they might want to take their grandchildren to see it. (If they need an excuse to be seen at a "kids" movie.) I'd say there are a few scenes which may be intense for anyone under five, but everyone above that age should really enjoy it, even "grand-parent aged" people.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Family Flick.
Review: THE WILD THORNBERRY'S MOVIE is a great animated film that the whole family will enjoy. The script is well-written and includes a couple of surprises. The music is rocking and one of the songs that Paul Simon wrote for the picture was nominated for an Academy Award. There really isn't anything very scary in the film and even if you've never seen an episode of the television show, the movie is easy to follow and enjoy. Great family entertainment.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent Movie for All Ages
Review: This cartoon movie, based on the kids' tv series, is an excellent movie to entertain people of all ages. It is visually stimulating and fast paced, capturing the attention of even young children for the duration of the movie. It delivers a wonderful message, without forcing it on the audience. You will walk away from this movie feeling great.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good family fun
Review: This child of the 1950's loves the character of Eliza Thornberry, perhaps because there weren't any spunky female characters like her when I was growing up. Imagine! A cartoon, and now a movie, featuring a girl in the lead role! Another thing I appreciate is that the parents are not portrayed as idiots. This is a welcome change from the standard fare in modern media. The story is pretty predictable, but doesn't drag. Some parts may be scary for little ones. Nice music. Overall, a film the whole family can enjoy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT MOVIE FOR CHILDREN
Review: THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE FOR FAMILIES TO OWN! IT WAS FUNNY AND IT HAD A LOT OF ADVENTURE. IT REALLY REMINDED ME OF MY YOUTH.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Elisa's greatest adventure
Review: This is an exciting adventure about Elisa, a young girl who has the power to talk to animals. I think this is a great movie because she is just like me and I wish I could be just like her. I wish I could talk to animals and go all around the world seeing animals. Some parts of this movie are a bit scary for younger children, but it's great for kids 6 and older. I love the scenery of Africa. Debbie is really funny in this movie, even though she's a little snobby. I recommend this movie for anyone who loves animals.

Rating: 5 stars
