The Wild Life Ratings & Reviews
New York Daily News
Raakhee Mirchandani
Kids might be amused, but adults will find the jokes weak, the narrative bleak and little to pass the time between animal chase scenes.
CinemaBlend
Mike Reyes
In a year where animated entertainment has had an embarrassment of riches, The Wild Life is merely an embarrassment, and a pretty grand one at that.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The sight gags and one-liners are much too tepid for all but the smallest and least discriminating children.
RogerEbert.com
Sheila O'Malley
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.
Movie Mom
Nell Minow
The animation is quite good but the voice talent is poor, the characters are dull, and the story and script start out badly and go downhill from there.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
It's no great shock when a movie based on a beloved book falls short of the original, but few fail as confoundingly as "The Wild Life."
Detroit News
Adam Graham
"The Wild Life" is an import from Belgium that should have been left at customs.
Chesapeake Family Magazine
Roxana Hadadi
Almost completely unfunny and mostly uninspired, The Wild Life coasts by on attractive visuals alone. Otherwise, this is a painful 90 minutes.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Belgians may have bragging rights on waffles, but judging from "The Wild Life," their animated fare needs help.
New York Times
Helen T. Verongos
"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.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Jody Mitori
It's like the generic version of a Disney movie.
TheWrap
Claudia Puig
A dull, uninspired and frantically tedious animated re-telling of the Robinson Crusoe story, complete with a menagerie of ditzy, caterwauling beasts. Consequently, this cacophonous misfire feels a good deal longer than its 91-minute running time.
Austin Chronicle
Steve Davis
Though hardly terrible, the movie is imminently forgettable. Once it's over, it feels as if it never happened.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
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.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
A confused, charmless take on the Robinson Crusoe story.
Boston Globe
Tom Russo
The animators are clearly trying to craft something bubbly, but they misguidedly go all in on imitating the contemporary Disney model - or DreamWorks', at least - rather than offering anything different.
San Francisco Chronicle
Michael Ordoña
It exists in the kids-only zone where parents go to pay for their sins or, hopefully, get a nap.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
The sort of uninspired international pre-sales item that usually goes straight from a basement booth at the Cannes film market to a Netflix parent's peripheral vision.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
An impressively made if highly juvenile version of a literary classic.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Whether dangling characters off the edge of a cliff or zooming around Crusoe's rickety wooden waterslide, the story is constantly on the go, launching objects and characters along the Z axis - and out over the audiences' heads.
