The Wild

As the sun sets over Central Park Zoo, Samson regales Ryan with thrilling tales of his past. Captivated, Ryan longs to learn how to roar just like his majestic father, despite Samson's concerns for his safety.

With the zoo gates closed and nightfall upon them, the animals are set free to play. Ryan and his friends indulge in an exciting game of turtle curling, filling the air with their laughter and joy.

In the midst of their playful revelry, Ryan inadvertently triggers a chaotic stampede among the animals, ruining the joyous atmosphere. This incident raises tensions between Ryan and his father, leading to a heart-wrenching confrontation.

Feeling misunderstood after his confrontation with Samson, Ryan makes a spontaneous decision to escape the zoo. He sneaks into a mysterious green intermodal container, unknowingly embarking on a thrilling journey.

Samson, alongside his loyal friends Benny, Bridget, Larry, and Nigel, sets off on an adventurous search for Ryan. Their journey spans from the bustling lights of Times Square to the darker corners of the city’s sewers.

During their quest, the group encounters Hamir, a witty pigeon who provides crucial guidance. His sharp insights help them navigate the urban landscape in search of Ryan.

Samson and his friends meet Stan and Carmine, streetwise alligator brothers who offer valuable advice. They point the group toward the city docks, where their daring plan begins to take shape.

As dawn breaks, the group enacts a daring plan to liberate a tugboat from the harbor. This results in a series of thrilling escapades as they take to the water in search of Ryan.

Their efforts lead them to Africa, where they face unexpected challenges, including a near-erupting volcano. This exotic setting turns their adventure into a race against time to find Ryan.

As the chaos unfolds, Ryan becomes lost in the dense jungle of Africa. This prompts a frantic search by Samson, highlighting the perilous nature of their adventure.

Meanwhile, Nigel finds himself mistakenly captured by a herd of wildebeests led by Kazar. They believe him to be a legendary hero, placing him at the center of their absurd prophecy.

As the search intensifies, Samson faces his own limitations, revealing to Ryan that he, too, struggled with roars and fears in his youth. This moment deepens their bond amid the chaos.

In a dramatic turn, the ancient tree Ryan hides in collapses, causing both him and Samson to tumble down a cliff. This moment intensifies their relationship as danger looms closer.

Samson, aided by Benny and a whimsical troop of dung beetles, confronts Kazar. This climactic battle reveals their courage and unity as they fight for survival and freedom.

With their adventure behind them, Samson and the group return triumphantly to Central Park Zoo. Their journey solidifies their bonds, proving that family and friendship can overcome any challenge.
