An odd assortment of animals from the New York Zoo – including a lion, a giraffe, an anaconda, a koala, and a squirrel – discover what a jungle the city can be when one of their own is mistakenly shipped to the wild and they embark on a dangerous mission to rescue him in "The Wild," presented by Walt Disney Pictures.  This wild and outrageous computer-animated comedy-adventure boasts an impressive vocal ensemble – Kiefer Sutherland (as the respected lion leader, Samson), Greg Cipes (as Samson’s son, Ryan), Jim Belushi (as Benny, the street savvy squirrel and Samson’s best friend), Janeane Garofalo (as a quick-witted giraffe), Richard Kind (as a dim-witted anaconda), William Shatner (as a wicked wildebeest), and Eddie Izzard (as Nigel, an acerbic koala) – along with cutting edge animation, and a story filled with hilarious situations. 
"The Wild" is directed by Steve "Spaz" Williams, an Oscar®-nominated visual effects veteran ("The Mask"), who helped to pioneer CG character animation through his work at ILM on such films as "The Abyss," "Jurassic Park," and "Terminator 2: Judgment Day." 
 
He also directed the popular series of Blockbuster commercials featuring the computer-animated characters Carl the rabbit and Ray the guinea pig.  Serving as the film’s producer was Clint Goldman, a seven-year ILM veteran and Williams’ executive producer partner in the duo’s San Francisco-based-production company, Hoytyboy Pictures.  Goldman was the animation and visual effects producer on "The Mask," and his credits also include a producing role on the 1997 feature, "Spawn" as well as on the Blockbuster commercials.   Beau Flynn, a principal partner in the New Line Cinema-based production company, Contrafilm, also served as producer.  Flynn was responsible for bringing "The Wild" to Disney as a pitch over nine years ago with writers Mark Gibson and Philip Halperin.  To complete the creative team, he brought both Goldman and Williams on to collaborate as he had been impressed with their sense of humor and visual style on the Blockbuster commercials.... read more: The Wild Fun Facts
