Vibrant animation, exotic locations, charming storytelling plus an all-star voice cast, including Lacey Chabert (Party Of Five), Tim Curry (The Adventures Of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius) and Flea (The Red Hot Chili Peppers) make season one of The Wild Thornberrys an epic family adventure. Featuring all 20 action-packed episodes, the collectible 4-DVD box set is priced to own at a suggested retail price of $29.93 and will no doubt attract a new audience of kids as well as young adults who grew up watching the television series.
The release of these DVDs is part of Nickelodeon’s commitment to bring back classic shows. Nickelodeon will also launch a new nighttime programming block this fall on TeenNick called “The ‘90s Are All That!,” featuring a rotating selection of iconic live-action and animated shows from Nickelodeon’s 1990s.
My Take on the DVD
For anyone who has watched this show in the past you are in for a wild ride as this DVD set has it all (or at least everything from the first season). That's right, on this DVD set you are provided with 4 discs and 7.5 hours worth of The Wild Thornberry's.
I started watching this series with my eldest sometime last year and I found it to be a very funny show. Also, you have to love all of the animals and the mischief that the family can get into in the wild. I have even thought to myself, how fun would it be to bring my own family out into the wild (though I don't know if the divas could handle it).
Overall though, this was a great DVD set and one that I would highly recommend to all. Whether you have seen the show or not, go and pick this up and experience the wild in a brand new way!
