The Wild Life [Blu-ray]

DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:

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).

There’s always a lot to look at. The script is so-so, but the total lack of snark and cynicism in the film is refreshing.-Sheila O’Malley

The rendering of the animation itself is decent, without being over-saturated. Fun fare for kids.-Reagan Gavin Rasquinha

The purists will stir their stomach like Robinson Crusoe before the shipwreck, but they will be surprised by the changes in this adaptation and will truly enjoy this film.-Pablo A. Scholz
