Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

CanisLupus45 Admittedly, I may be slightly biased because of my love for animals, but for what it's worth, I think this is a great show. I registered on IMDb just so I could add my positive review to the mix. I can't come to terms with the people who dismiss this cartoon or its protagonist. People write Eliza off and bill her as irritating, and then add "also, she's ugly." I can't help but feel that some shallow-minded individuals call her irritating simply because they don't like the way she looks. This is a kids' show. Should kids' shows teach that you need to be pretty in order to be accepted? I hope we can all answer with an emphatic "no." Eliza is a kid herself, with glasses and braces. Did you look like a supermodel at the age of twelve? I didn't then and don't now. If anything, I feel that kids are able to connect better with a character that is "real." I certainly did at that age. She makes mistakes, she does act bratty from time to time, but her passion for wildlife and her love for her friends and family are real.I have the whole show on my computer and I still enjoy watching it. There are loads of funny bits to make you laugh, and while the pedantic biologist side of me notices the erroneous things rather quickly (the Great Crested Grebe sounding exactly like a peacock, Eliza's mention of "alligators in the Congo," the jaguars presented as social cats, etc.), it is really clear that they tried to be accurate and faithful to reality. Aside from small things like that, which most kids I'm sure wouldn't notice, this show is pretty educational. If you were like me as a kid, you would be delighted that some of these animals your parents don't know about are the star of the latest episode, and if you didn't know about an animal, well, the show served to reveal them to you. If it sparks a child's interest in nature/science, it's well worth it. People who relate to Eliza and understand why she gets excited to be out in the jungle befriending wild animals will smile all the way through The Wild Thornberrys. People who don't like animals, well, this might not be the subject matter you're looking for. Maybe it is more niche than I realise, but that doesn't make it bad.

Catherine_Grace_Zeh I used to watch this show when I was growing up. When I think about it, I only remember it vaguely. If you ask me, it was an okay show. Two things I remember pretty well are the opening sequence and theme song pretty well. In addition to that, everyone was ideally cast. Also, the writing was okay. The performances were okay, too. I hope some network brings it back so I can see every episode. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I don't think I've seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

POPADLJM When I first saw this show, it bored me to tears. I would have rather watched C-SPAN than this. Since Nickelodeon was the only cartoon channel I had at the time, I gave it a try, But it didn't work out.This show is barely a cartoon. Cartoons are supposed to be funny, or at least entertaining, but this show is horrible. Every time this show was on, I would turn off the television and do something else.This is the worst show on Nickelodeon along with As Told by Ginger and Pelswick.Watching this show is like torture; The characters are stupid and the plots are even stupider. My rating: 1/2* / ***** ( .5 out of 5 )

galaxiesandstars This show's really not that bad, ive seen worse. Even though i do agree that Eliza does get a little annoying sometimes. Its real unrealistic(kids have to have some kind of education, nobody can really tak to animals, yeah, you get the point) Rating:***(out of 5)
