The Wild Life

Ugh. Just...ugh.



Seriously, where the actual heck did this come from?

Double ugh!!

Seriously, where the actual heck did this come from?

If it's wacky animals, and Summit acquiring a third-party indie Studio Canal production....somewhere overseas, I'm guessing.
The English and Germans are the only ones still "selling" in-3D CGI as a thing, and the animation's too good to be Spanish or Brazilian.

(And whew--Thought this was about that abandoned Stainton-era "NYC supermodel/party-culture animals" movie that ended up as a Disney art book.
CtToI, that could have ended up as Zootopia.)

Quick search on iMDB shows that the movie is Belgian/French and was called Robinson Crusoe over there.

Say...some of that animation *is* pretty good!

Shame about the script...!

Another bomb for Lionsgate...

Quality of The Wild Life and Norm aside (neither of which I have seen), the studio really should've been able to make a late summer hit out of Shaun (which also opened to less than a million on opening day). Seems they really don't know how to do this.

this looks like a movie from the bargain bin at Walmart

The movie is really interesting. I watched it today and I enjoyed it very much. I had a flashback to my childhood when I was watching cartoons every day. From my point of view, it has a very deep sense. I am a big animal lover. But, last week I had a very awful experience. My backyard was properly invaded by a lot of squirrels. It was very annoying. Luckily, I found some guys that are catching the squirrels. They came very fast and caught all the squirrels in a few hours. After this, the little squirrels were released into the wild.

I have yet to see this. No real desire, though.
