The Wild is a 2006 computer-animated film directed by Steve "Spaz" Williams, produced by Clint Goldman, assistant produced by Jim Burton and C.O.R.E. Feature Animation, and was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures on April 14, 2006, in the United States. The movie begins with Samson the lion telling his son Ryan stories of his adventures in the wild. Ryan attempts to imitate his father's roar, but all he can manage is a squeaky meow. Ryan is teased by the zoo guests and he sulks away on his rock. During the night, when the zoo closes, all the animals are free to roam. Samson heads off to... play a game of Turtle Curling with the other animals, while Ryan is taunted to come with his friends Eze the Hippo and Duke the Kangaroo to stalk the gazelles like his father. Samson later observes as his best friend Benny the Squirrel tries to get Bridget the Giraffe to go out with him, but she is clearly not interested.
