Business Wire, April 6, 2006

BURBANK, Calif. -- Walt Disney Records sets "The Wild Soundtrack" free on April 11, 2006. The CD opens with a rockin' remake of "Real Wild Child" by newly signed Buena Vista Music Group recording artists Everlife, followed by three all-new, original songs. Multi-platinum artists Lifehouse perform the pensive track "Good Enough", Big Bad Voodoo Daddy perform the uptempo "Big Time Boppin' (Go Man Go)" and Eric Idle and John Du Prez ("Monty Python's Spamalot") penned and perform "Really Nice Day." Rounding out "The Wild Soundtrack" are nine score tracks from Academy Award(R)-nominee Alan Silvestri ("Lilo & Stitch," "The Parent Trap," "Forrest Gump").

In Walt Disney Pictures' newest computer-animated comedy-adventure, "The Wild," an odd assortment of animals from the New York Zoo -- including a lion, a giraffe, an anaconda, a koala and a squirrel -- discover what a jungle the city can be when one of their own is mistakenly shipped to the wild and they embark on a dangerous mission to rescue him. The film boasts an impressive vocal ensemble -- Keifer Sutherland (as the respected lion leader, Samson), Greg Cipes (as Samson's son, Ryan), Jim Belushi (as Benny, the street savvy squirrel and Samson's best friend), Janeane Garofalo (as a quick-witted giraffe), Richard Kind (as a dim-witted anaconda), William Shatner (as a wicked wildebeest) and Eddie Izzard (as Nigel, an acerbic koala) -- along with cutting edge animation, and a story filled with hilarious situations. "The Wild" opens in theaters nationwide April 14, 2006.
