Don't have the cash for an African safari? No worries, a trip to the multiplex will get you up to speed on the animal kingdom, when Nickelodeon's favorite naturalists--the Thornberrys family--journey from cable to big screen for a big ol' jungle adventure. Mischief is always just around the next Acacia tree as youngest daughter Eliza (who, just like a little Dr. Dolittle, has the power to speak to animals) faces off against nasty elephant poachers while trying to keep her outrageous family in check. The bright animation brings the wilderness to life for the youngest moviegoers while they accidentally learn the fine lesson about lending a hand to those in need. Lions, tigers and baboons, oh, why can't there be more family fare like this?
