''[[The Wild Thornberrys]]'' was a [[Nickelodeon|Nicktoon]] that ran from 1998 to 2004 created, animated, and produced by [[Klasky-Csupo]] of ''[[Rugrats]]'' fame. The show centres around Eliza Thornberry, an adventurous young girl [[Speaks Fluent Animal|who can talk to animals]], an especially handy power when your parents travel the world to make Nature Documentaries. Naturally, there's a catch--she can't tell anyone she has this power, or else she loses it, and presumably, the shaman who gave it to her to begin with would be hard-pressed to give it back again. The cast is filled out by the aforementioned parents Nigel and Marianne Thornberry, the Nature Documentary's presenter and camerawoman respectively and Eliza's older sister, the [[Deadpan Snarker|deadpan]] and deeply-[[Bratty Teenage Daughter|unenthusiastic]]-[[City Mouse|about-her-parents'-career]] Debbie. Also along for the ride was the deeply neurotic chimpanzee Darwin, and crazy wild jungle boy Donnie, Eliza's adopted younger brother.
 
The series has three films to its name, the [[Made for TV Movie]] ''The Wild Thornberrys: The Origin of Donnie'' (2001), and two [[The Movie|theatrical films]] ''The Wild Thornberrys Movie'' (2002) which an academy award nomination to its name (albeit for best song, not for best animated feature), and [[Crossover]] movie ''[[Rugrats Go Wild]]''. This show has examples of some of the only non villainous roles in [[Tim Curry]]'s career - Nigel Thornberry and his father.
