Nigel and Marianne Thornberry (voiced by Tim Curry and Jodi Carlisle) travel around the world with their family making wildlife documentaries, with Nigel as narrator and Marianne as the camerawoman.
Despite being nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award in 2001, the show has its share of detractors, mostly those bothered by main character Eliza's look (pigtails, glasses, freckles, and braces on her big teeth), and her attitude: basically, go out of her way to talk to animals, no matter what.

 THE WILD THORNBERRYS MOVIE
The Wild Thornberrys Movie is a feature-film version of a popular animated Nickelodeon program with which I am completely unfamiliar.
I can report, however, that its animation style is very similar to Rugrats, which can also be found on the very same cable network (there's a movie in the works featuring both Nick-based families).
Her tea-swilling grandparents seem unfazed by being in Africa and provide some comic relief, but not nearly as much as Eliza's adopted baby brother Donnie (Flea), who presumably was raised by apes and does something called the Wedgie Dance.

The Wild Thornberrys Movie is pleasant enough and the message of our close ties with animals can certainly not be emphasized enough.
Like The Rugrats movies, The Wild Thornberrys Movie doesn't offer much more than the series, but its emphasis on caring for animals and respecting other cultures is particularly welcome.

It opened in the US box office on December 20, 2002, finished #6 for the weekend, and grossed only a modest $40 million domestically, in spite of generally favorable reviews.
The box office failure of this film was the beginning of the end of the long, fruitful relationship between Klasky Csupo and Nickelodeon and the harbringer of the demise of Klasky Csupo.

 Rotten Tomatoes Forums - THE WILD THORNBERRY'S MOVIE puts a capital 'f' into the phrase "Fun - Family - Film"!
Of course, the young, bespectacled 'Eliza Thornberry' continues to remain the most engaging character in both the Nickelodeon TV-series and this film as she possesses the power to speak to animals and advocate for their concerns.
