    Boring... hide « show »

    This show is about a girl named Eliza Thornberry who thinks that she is like god because she has a power to talk to animals. There are some things I don't like about this show at all. First of all the episodes get repeative because the plots are like the same for example, Eliza talks to an animal and the animal says that theres like something going wrong in the place where the animal is living. But then Eliza tries to help the animal but she sometimes makes the situations worst. Overall this show is not that great at all, I didn't laugh at any moments because this show is so repeative that makes this show boring and not funny it's like a educational cartoon show but worse but hey at least it's not like Teletubbies or Dora the Explorer, those shows are even more worse than this. If you haven't seen this show don't watch it because you'll get bored but if you like animals so much then this might be a great show for you but I don't know if you'll enjoy it though.

    Nick you got so many good classics! And this is one of them! hide « show »

    I loved watching the Wild Thornberries so much! Eliza is nice and i liked to watch this safari and traveling themed show with my parents! Darwin was such a cute chimp and Donnie was such an interesting character, plus with all of their adventures to different parts of the world, and discovery of all of these exotic animals, i always couldn't wait to see more episodes that i haven't seen yet! Great adventures and this show has good value with that, studying animals i think is a very good hobby and job to take. Animals are impressive species of nature indeed. There was episodes featured with monkeys, the abodimal Snowman, snow leopards, birds, rhinocerouses, elephants,and llamas are all good examples of great animals! Wasn't the Thornberries vehicle a convey? I know it was something like that. So again, it was so entertaining seeing the great storyline and plots of this show along with the episodes of safari adventures! Very good exploration where it is always possible to see something common, and also stumbling across a rare species like a giant squid! Nigel saw one along with the Rugrats when there was that cross-over movie. The Wild Thornberries adds another one to my fabulous show list!

    The Wild Thornberrys was a great show for all ages hide « show »

    the Wild Thornberrys was one of my personal favorite shows i have seen. not only was it a great show it also taught you about animals such as... Elephants and Hyena's it was one of the best shows. and the lead can talk to animals was a good idea to get the animals perspective on things. the whole Thornberry family was fun to watch as they were insightful i miss the wild Thornberrys and i hope that they make more episodes of it with way more animals and new locations to go to (even though they have been to like nearly every continent) lol.

    A girl has the ability to talk to animals hide « show »

    Eliza Thornberry is a twelve year old girl who gains the ability to talk to animals from a shaman after rescuing him. She lives with her strange family in an RV, travelling around the world. Her mother shoots her father making nature documentaries for a television program. All the members of the family have interesting personalities. Eliza is intelligent and well read on geography and animals, Debbie, the older sister, is a typica teenager who just likes to lie back and read a magazine rather than go walking into the wild having adventureslike Eliza, Donny is a wild boy who was raised by orangootans in Borneo and still retains all his former wild personality despite some sall efforts to train him to be more human, darwin is a chimpanzee who, rather than being a pet, is more a member of the family, Marianne is the shooter of the documentaries and is American, and Nigel is a british man who is the host of said documentaries. Eliza must keep her ability secret or it shall die and this comes to a climax when debbie learns of the secret but she retains the gift anyway. Eliza has a cousin who joins the family in some eps. They travel to many places and all are real geographical places. Quite an entertaining show. Much fun and adventure. many memorable moments, certainly a good cartoon.

    8.5 Great

    A great show and awesome movie. hide « show »

    The Wild Thornberries was an awesome show and at one time it was my absolute favorite. This was the first Nickelodeon show that was 22 minutes long. this a great series and the movie was utterly awesome, cool, raw, and pretty epic. Klaskey Csupo did a great thing with this. I also enjoyed how in later seasons they changed Eliza's hair and clothes. Darwin was funny and is such a scardey cat, but a lot of klaskey Csupo have the side kick be the wussy, I still though he was funny. Donnie was my favorite, he was wild and crazy. i also liked the animation and character designs.
