Not a travesty, some small ones may find delight with the cute hedgehogs and company, but it is lazy.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 1, 2021

I personally would rather watch this film than a lazy unambitious effort like Ice Age: Collision Course but that's just me.

| Original Score: C- | Apr 11, 2019

This was an impressive film visually for the independent Belgian company but the story unfortunately falls flat.

It's not that The Wild Life is poorly animated or overtly irresponsible. It's just lazy and stupid.

| Aug 27, 2018

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

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 7, 2017

If you're old enough to read this then you're probably too old for this bright and child-friendly animation.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2017

This retelling of Daniel Defoe's literary classic is squarely aimed at very young children.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 1, 2017

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. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 24, 2016

A film with an absolute lack of enthusiasm, rhythm and movement for adventure. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 24, 2016

The Wild Life starts with a shaky idea and goes downhill from there.

| Original Score: 70/100 | Nov 15, 2016

An impeccable animation, but with a story that doesn't stand out, losing the opportunity to get closer to families and new generations. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 10, 2016

Where did this delightful little movie come from?

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 5, 2016

Robinson Crusoe: The Wild Life is a handbook of mistakes -- although I can't say whether the problem was lack of budget, time, or simply judgment.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 28, 2016

Robinson Crusoe badly and baldly retold from a talking macaw's point-of-view, French-Belgian production The Wild Life is chattering, increasingly antic animal-animation.

| Sep 30, 2016

It doesn't have the technical resources to compete with other animated films. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 19, 2016

A film that reproduces the recipe for a more commercial cinema for adults, adapted to children's profitable market. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 19, 2016

This one is utterly, doggedly, defiantly undistinguished, designed only to play for a big opening weekend, cashing in on those millions of parents out there with nothing better to do with their kids on a Saturday afternoon.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 15, 2016

Kids might be amused, but adults will find the jokes weak, the narrative bleak and little to pass the time between animal chase scenes.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 13, 2016

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 12, 2016

contemporary relevance doesn't make this movie any more interesting. It just floats by on flat characters and predictable gags, a functional distraction for kids who are bound to forget it as soon as they hit the next episode of Dora The Explorer.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 9, 2016
