Freddy Lupin (llai Swindells) is a young man, whose father Flashheart (Jai Courtney) is the head of a Werewolf pack. Whilst it's not severely lacking in any one area, it's all that bit second rate and really struggled to keep my (admittedly not target demographic) focus on it.
#100 WOLF REVIEW PLUS#
With this film added to Disney Plus it, unfortunately for me, becamse the next film alphabetically for me to watch.
At times perilous, at times mischievous - but usually amusing. Yes, it's probably about twenty minutes too long but it ends well and as a counterpoint to the much bigger-budgeted Disney/Pixar efforts proves that some imagination and a sense of fun can still prevail even if the look of the thing isn't necessarily the best (I found the characters all a bit too angular). In typical Aussie fashion, it rather bluntly dismisses stereotype and prejudice offering us a lively and entertainingly busy animation. What now ensues is a little bit predicable, but the characterisations are quite engaging and there is plenty of action. He reckons the power of the now missing moonstone is the source of his woes and he vows to repatriate it with his lost father and rectify things.
#100 WOLF REVIEW HOW TO#
He thinks how knows how to fix things, though. He's ashamed, embarrassed, let down and when his pack-leader father disappears after a mission, he is thought unsuitable to succeed him as top tog. He's metamorphosed into a perfectly manicured poodle. Except, well, when the young man goes to his first ever ceremony, he emerges as a bit of a disappointment. By day, just normal folks - but put them under a shaft of moonlight and they become terrifying great lycans. "Freddy" is the youngest member of a pack of werewolves. We just sometimes need a bit of help to find it. A story ought not to give nightmares and lasting bad impressions (as many often do), but should inspire people to reach their potential. Sometimes, I think, there is too much unnecessary violence and fear put in stories, which sells, but leaves the audience with unnecessary, and sometimes fatal, emotional wounds, such as enticing them to be violent or fearful themselves. It is a particular niche that is lacking and works very well in this film, given the budget and the circumstances surrounding it. Be prepared.) I think it's good to give us different werewolves, instead of dark, violent, gory ones. This film comes closest to what my ideal werewolves would be: noble superheroes fighting for a good cause with (mostly) clean, honorable mannerisms. If I could, I'd love to be a werewolf, but not a masochist. Personally, I love the concept of werewolves, but I do not like the whole horror and violence behind them. 7/10 - A solid and enjoyable family frolic. If you have a young family and you all want 90 minutes of escapism then 100% Wolf is worthy of your attention, especially since there is very little out there at the moment. It's nowhere near as polished or well crafted as a Disney or a Pixar animation however, it is just as good as anything from Illuminations, BlueSky or Sony Animations. I went to my local cinema with very low expectations and was pleasantly surprised as was my seven year old daughter. Plus there is plenty of silly humour to enjoy for both adults and kids alike. It has a positive message as the narrative pushes the importance of what is happening on the inside rather than the outside.
The chaotic story is fast paced and easy to follow for little ones but is still entertaining for adults too, even though it is a little predictable. The animation is bright and breezy, the characters are all colourful and likeable and the voice cast is very good too. however, without any summer releases from the major Hollywood studios this Australian animation has its moment to shine on the big screenĪnd shine it does. If we were living in 'normal' times I doubt 100% Wolf would have had a cinematic release here in the U.K.
