Nicole H This movie was my childhood. Some of the animals are clearly other species in costume or obvious fakes but it's so fun. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/25/25 Full Review SkyRo P "Wild America," a film that hit theaters in 1997, features two of the most iconic stars of the 90s: Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Devon Sawa. They are joined by Scott Bairstow, who plays the role of the third brother. The plot revolves around the trio’s quest to document the untamed beauty of America while strengthening their sibling bond. At the center of the narrative is Jonathan Taylor Thomas's character, who serves as the focal point of the story. The film explores the dynamic between the brothers and their perspectives on his antics throughout their escapades. Thomas, who famously voiced Simba in "The Lion King," shines in his role, effectively capturing the quirks of his younger brother as they navigate various adventures and mischief together. Devon Sawa portrays the younger sibling, a charming character who finds himself chasing after girls. Known for his role as Casper in the movie "Casper," Sawa also impresses in this film. Meanwhile, Scott Bairstow excels as the older brother and the aspiring filmmaker, contributing significantly to the group dynamic. Overall, "Wild America" beautifully illustrates the essence of brotherhood as the siblings embark on exciting adventures across the wilderness. This film is a delightful watch that I wholeheartedly recommend—it's a classic that deserves your attention. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Desert R This movie was one of the staple movies of my childhood. I can remember watching it on VHS a good bit. I haven't seen this movie in over 15 years at least so when it came to mind today I decided to give it a rewatch and I wish I hadn't. It has not held up compared to what I watched as a child. Granted I was a kid but I remember this movie being a masterpiece and it is anything but. The pacing, some of the acting, the ending...and don't even get me started on the animal puppetry. I guess sometimes it's a good idea to give your old childhood movies a rewatch and sometimes it isn't. This is one of those isn't instances. This one should have stayed a memory. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/20/24 Full Review christopher c. m You know since this is based on three real people, last names would be nice. It makes it easier to believe some of it happened as it shown on screen. It also drags at times with mild character issues. But for the most part it is inspiring, well acted and exciting too at times. Not sure why all the hate on Rotten Tomatoes. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member One of my favorite movies of all time! It takes me back to childhood when life didn't crush me all the times and I could sing the music and not feel like a dork. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I'm biased because it's been a favorite since I was little but it's a movie for fun, action and animals. It's aged well considering 90's films and is still family friendly movie for a night in. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
