OUR REVIEW
Who's in It: The voices of Daniel Tippet, Tricia Trippett, Phil Nibbelink
The Basics: It's the animated Romeo and Juliet story. With seals. And a happy ending in which all formerly feuding seal families dance and make out. Because you want your kids to be shocked when they finally get old enough to see how it really goes down. And they use dialogue from Hamlet because, really, what difference does it make anyway? It's just a kids' movie, right? So to answer the question posed by one of the seals, "To be or not to be?" I vote "not to be."
What's the Deal? I've complained here before about the domination of 3-D computer animation and the glut of talking-animal movies that's resulted from the success of stuff like the Pixar films and Shrek. But after watching this homemade cheapie, I would like to apologize to everyone. I'll even kiss the boots of whoever made The Wild. That's how shoddy this thing is by comparison.
