The Wild Thornberries Movie
[DVD]

Description

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION "The Wild Thornberrys Movie" brings America's favorite animated family to Africa where 12-year old Eliza, who has the power to commu nicate with animals, and her pet chimp, Darwin, discover that poachers plan to kill an elephant herd with an electrified fence. Will Eliza, who could lose her gift if she reveals it, learn another way of communicating with the elephants in time to warn them of the danger? AMAZON.CO.UK REVIEW The characters in The Wild Thornberrys Movie are well-defined and delightful; the well-written script zips along and the animation is visually dynamic. This charming movie version of the Nickelodeon cartoon centres on Eliza, the youngest daughter of the Thornberry family. Her parents, Nigel and Marianne, travel the world to create nature programmes for television. But Eliza, thanks to a mystical encounter, has the power to talk to animals--a power that leads her on the hunt for poachers in Africa who have captured a baby cheetah. Eliza's best friend, a chimpanzee named Darwin, is along for the ride, while her resentful teenage sister Debbie is trying to bring her back to their parents. All in all, this is an excellent animated feature featuring the voices of Tim Curry, Lacey Chabert, Rupert Everett, Marisa Tomei, Alfred Woodard and Lynn Redgrave. --Bret Fetzer
