Product Description
From Amazon.com
Eliza Thornberry and her simian pal Darwin take on an African safari, evil poachers, and a London boarding school in Eliza's big-screen debut. That's quite a tall order for a 12-year-old--and a movie soundtrack--to handle, but like the dynamic tween, The Wild Thornberrys Movie delivers. Youssou N' Dour and Sting, Angelique Kidjo with Dave Matthews and Las Hijas del Sol contribute world music celebrations flavored with exotic percussion and soulful vocals, while Baha Men skid around on the manic pace of reggae-pop with "Accident." Paul Simon's jungle-folk-tinged "Father and Daughter" is more traditional rock, as is the Pretenders' cheerfully uptempo cover of Intaferon's 1980s obscurity "Get Out of London," and Peter Gabriel's "Animal Nation," which harkens to the throbbing guitar electronics found on his 1992 album Us. Even the teen pop-centric tracks are high quality--Nick Carter's sunny keyboard nugget and Sita's irresistible "Happy." Appealing to kids and adults both, without pandering to either crowd, The Wild Thornberrys Movie is an enjoyable delight through and through. --Annie Zaleski

Great for the whole family!

I have a 4-year old son who fell in love with the Thornberry's when this film came out. One of the problems that I have with most kid films is that the music is less than desireable. I went to see this film, ready to be just as annoyed as with the others.
Nice to hear how wrong I was.
I loved the film and I loved the soundtrack just as much, if not more. The list of artists for this project is amazing: Peter Gabriel, Sting, Dave Matthews, Paul Simon, and Rusted Root just to name a few. the whole album is well produced, not one of those typical crappy "look we have kids singing kids songs and they're sooooo cute!"
ugh.
My son and I have spent hours listening to this cd in the car, wherever we go. The Peter Gabriel tune, "Animal Nation" is one of the best songs he's put together in over 10 years. A real treat for sure.
The music producers put together a smart list of artists who put out some smart, original pieces for this film. I love this compilation and I heartily recommend it to all.
Pick it up, you won't be disappointed.
Outstanding Music for Kids.

Good movie, great soundtrack. I write this following the third week or so that my 2 1/2 year old daughter and I have listened to songs 14, 1, & 2 in sequence at least once a day. Think World Cafe or Putamayo Music Hour for kids. It's a very ecclectic mix of styles and artists, highlighted by one of Paul Simon's strongest efforts. Roll down the windows, feel the breeze, and sing along w/ your kids.
Best soundtrack, ever!

This is the best soundtrack ever!I only bought it for Paul Simon's Father and Daughter but then I heard the dutch duo Sita sing "Happy" it has to be the best song ever! Don't worry it's in English she sings songs in both English and Dutch. Both versions are good.

Sweet On the Outside, Sour On the Inside
Another example of the built-in danger of soundtracks, THE WILD THORNBERRYS boasts the best Paul Simon song since GRACELAND, an angelic closing tune, and a lot of worthless... Read more
