The Wild Thornberrys is an American animated television series that originally aired on Nickelodeon from 1998 to 2004, the serie focuses around a nomadic family of documentary filmmakers known as the Thornberrys. The characters are Nigel Thornberry as narrator and Marianne Thornberry as cameraman, her daugthers Deborah and Eliza and an adopted child called Donnie. It primarily centers on the family's younger daughter Eliza, and her secret gift of being able to communicate with animals, which was bestowed upon her after having rescued a shaman masquerading as a trapped warthog.
The gift enabled her to talk to the Thornberrys' pet chimpanzee Darwin. Together, the pair frequently venture through the diferents places and they are getting to know different animals around the world.
When I was a child the show used to be broadcast on weekends in the morning and I loved it because it had to do with two of my favorite things: animals and nature.
Nickelodeon released all five seasons on DVD via Amazon in 2010. Season 1 was released on June 24, 2010 and Seasons 2 through 5 were released on December 1, 2010.
After the success of the series a movie was launched in 2002 called "The Thornberrys: The Movie" and in 2003 It was launched "Rugrats Go Wild" as an animated comedy crossover film based on the Nickelodeon animated television series Rugrats.
