One of my all tine favorite Nickelodeon cartoons, probably because of my love of animals.
Eliza Thronberry has the ability to talk to animals. Her parents are the hosts of a nature show, and Eliza gets to travel the world with them. Her teen-age sister (who would probably like to be anywhere else), her pet monkey name Darwin, and wild child foster brother, come along.
So many wild and fun adventures await and there is always a lesson. to be learned.
The hit series The Wild Thornberrys follows the Thornberry family as they travel the world in their Communications Vehicle (or CommVee) looking for rare animals to film. After an encounter with a mysterious shaman, their youngest child Eliza was given the power to speak to animals! Travelling to every corner of the world with her family of daffy documentarians, Eliza uses her fantastic skill to learn about the lifestyles and habitats of the world’s most exotic creatures. Encounter wildlife in all its natural glory and eavesdrop on Eliza’s conversations with silverback gorillas, pythons, crested grebes, tapirs, capybaras, antelopes and more while the CommVee travels on!
With its vibrant animation and charming storytelling, plus an all-star voice cast featuring Lacey Chabert (Party Of Five), Tim Curry (The Adventures Of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius) and Flea (The Red Hot Chili Peppers) The Wild Thornberrys an epic adventure that’s fun for the whole family. Produced by Klasky-Csupo for Nickelodeon, The Wild Thornberrys premiered in September 1998 and aired until 2004 with reruns airing on Nicktoons and CBS from 2002-2007.
The 15 disc set contains all 91 globe-trotting episodes of the popular Nickelodeon series.
