Times are good for Mak the parrot, Scrubby the goat, Carmello the chameleon and the rest of the wildlife that inhabit a tropical island. Their day-to-day routine gets shaken up when a mysterious creature washes up on shore. He's a sailor named Robinson Crusoe, and he's the only human survivor of a terrible storm that destroyed his ship. As the animals get to know their peculiar new guest, they find him to be a useful ally when two conniving cats try to seize control of their exotic paradise.

Critics Consensus

The Wild Life uses its classic source material as a half-hearted springboard into a colorfully animated but essentially empty experience that only the youngest of viewers will find at all entertaining.

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.

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

2/5

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.

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

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

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

One of the absolute worst movies I've ever seen. I faked having to go to the bathroom twice, just to get out of this stupid movie.

This movie was really bad. I had trouble paying attention to the plot and literally left in the middle of the movie to go to the bathroom on purpose to get away. The voices of the movie make it even worse. All the animals voices really hurt my ears and want to take my eardrums out. This movie was terrible and not even funny. This is not even a movie that was so bad that you have memories laughing at: this was just not good. It was super stupid and REALLY annoyed me. Save your time and do NOT watch or buy this movie!!!

The Wild Life is a dull piece of dross with colorful animation.
