Trivia
The line by Kazar, "Step, kick, pivot, kick, walk, walk, walk" is a parody of the line from A Chorus Line (1985) which goes "back step, pivot step, walk, walk, walk!", from the song "I Hope I Get It".

In Sweden and the UK, The Wild (2006) is considered a film in the Disney Classic canon, and instead excludes the film Dinosaur (2000) from that list to match up to the same number of films. Both films were released theatrically in Sweden.

The voice of the Hyrax - the animal Samson considers eating - was provided by Colin Cunningham, a member of the film's production team, who was known for breaking into the Hyrax's faux-British accent from time to time. The DVD release of the film includes a featurette on the crewmember-turned-voice actor.

Goofs
Larry the anaconda is shown blinking numerous times in the film. Snakes have no eyelids and cannot blink. He's also rather thin for an anaconda - they are heavy-bodied snakes - and has no trouble hearing the other characters when they talk to him, even though snakes have no external ears and are deaf to airborne sound.

If you watch very closely the edge of Larry's mouth during the first scene in the garbage truck drifting through New York, Larry opens his mouth, and there is a very visible bright line where the interior of his mouth should line up with his lips, but doesn't. It's a tear in the CG model, and should have been fixed before the character was animated. What you're viewing through the tear is the New York city scape.

After Benny has landed on the boat and Larry asks Samson if they're going to the wild, Larry pulls the throttle backwards. This would put the engines in reverse, yet in the film the boat continues going forwards and picks up speed.

Q
How can a tug boat travel that far and not run out of gas?
A
Simple. It's not a tug boat, its a fuel tender. Notice the refueling hoses on deck and the storage tank numbers painted on the deck ('NO smoking')
