The Wild Life

Movie

From the over-exuberant parrot Mak to the snack-obsessed tapir Rosi...

From the over-exuberant parrot Mak to the snack-obsessed tapir Rosie, from the persnickety echidna Epi to the acrobatic pangolin Pango, from the ditzy goat Scrubby to the commonsensical kingfisher Kiki and the always-cool chameleon Carmello, things are larger-than-life on a tropical isle that is pure wild animal paradise. Then Robinson Crusoe, a marooned human, arrives in the midst of a furious storm, and their lives are forever changed by this bewildering new "creature." No matter their differences, castaway human and quirky animals embark on an hilarious new adventure, building the island's first tree-house and surviving together. But when two conniving members of the animal kingdom - the savage cats Mal & May - pounce into a battle for control of the island, Crusoe and his animal posse must uncover the true power of friendship against all odds (even savage cats).

nWave's latest dynamic 3D toon reimagines Robinson Crusoe as the ultimate party-crasher, telling his story from the p.o.v. of the animals whose tropical paradise he invaded.

There's always a lot to look at. The script (Lee Christopher, Domonic Paris, Graham Welldon) is so-so, but the total lack of snark and cynicism in the film is refreshing.

The Wild Life is pretty to look at, with its skies and ocean, calm or stormy, and it has a driving soundtrack. But the story lacks that extra layer of complexity and meaning that parents can appreciate.

Not surprisingly, the villains in the piece are a horde of stowaway cats that survive the shipwreck, terrorizing everyone in their relentless quest for a meal.

By removing the element of danger from its plot, this Belgian animation, featuring a gallery of chatty animals, has nowhere to go.

A few minutes of excitement can’t compensate for an hour and a half of unimaginative storytelling and dull characters.

All things considered, this pitifully plotted Belgian-French production represents the nadir of animated movies released so far this year, a farrago of frantic action and mindless cacophony.

‘The Wild Life’ is staid, boring animated movie.

Competent animation isn’t enough of a draw for this laugh-free talking-animal adventure that will bore and dismay kids and adults alike.
