The Wild Life (2016)
6/10
Nothing here for adults
16 May 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Nerdy Klutz Robinson Crusoe is shipwrecked on a tiny island where, with the assistance of various helpful members of the local wildlife, he manages to survive despite the depredations of pirates and some feral cats.

This CGI feature originates from Belgium. It is bright, colourful with attractive set and character design and animation.

But it is populated with extremely annoying characters – almost all of them - a story which is almost totally uninteresting, an over-reliance on the villainous cats to drive the plot, an unsympathetic protagonist and a number of things which took me straight out of the film (the island is hardly bigger than a ten-bob note – how on earth does it manage to sustain the varied wildlife?).

There is little here for adults and, like Ratchet and Clank just a week ago, I imagine it will be successful with an undemanding audience of youngsters.
