The twist – again, not wholly unprecedented – is that one or more of the women is a “wolf”, who is forbidden to fall in love and must lie to all the others to prevent discovery. Five men and five women looking for love are placed in close proximity and given group tasks that will allow them to get to know each other and, hopefully, strike sparks that can be fanned into the raging inferno of all-consuming lurve. First, the basic premise is foolproof – a tried and tested formula for instant addiction. I suspect it will succeed, if not perhaps to the same massive original extent, for two reasons. Now it is seeking to replicate its astonishing success beyond its shores by partnering with Netflix, tweaking the name (to Is She the Wolf?) and the format (very slightly), then putting it before a global audience.

Nonetheless, if you’re a fairly new parent and need the little shits to shut up for 90 minutes, then 100% Wolf may be 100% the film for you.In Japan, the reality series Who Is the Wolf? has run for 13 seasons and is thought to have been viewed by about 70% of girls and women in their teens and 20s. There are one or two glimmers of intelligent storytelling, such as the uncle’s kids being locked in the attic, which makes a surprisingly satisfying conclusion in the third act, but it isn’t nearly enough to satisfy audiences teenaged and older.
#100 WOLF REVIEW MOVIE#
Derivative, uninspired and with references to better films, 100% Wolf is a kid’s movie with a hard emphasis on the word kids.
Overall, 100% Wolf is a film best used as a distraction for the littlest of children so that the adults may get on with better things.
Because of this look, the film feels like a mash up of Hotel Transylvania and The Secret Life of Pets and overall, the film is about as good as the most mediocre sequel from either franchise. Not only that, but the animation style looks like an uncharacteristic version of the animation Illumination pioneered with Despicable Me. They even have their own rip off version of pride rock for Christ’s sake. A bitter uncle who throws his family under the bus the seize power? Check. A king who dies from falling from a great height? Check. A young boy set to be leader one day? Check. The setup of the film is essentially a Lion King checklist. The real problem I have with 100% Wolf is that it feels uninspired and references many far superior films throughout its runtime.
I can’t have too much of a problem with the film being only for kids, despite how lazy the film making often feels.

By this I mean the narrative is incredibly predictable, the dialogue is extremely derivative and generally it isn’t for anyone who has known how to read and write for several years. However, if he should fail, Freddy will be banished from the pack forever.ġ00% Wolf is really only for 50% of those watching as it is a kid’s film rather than a family film. Dogs are one of Werewolf’s greatest enemies, thus, Freddy is shamed for his transformation and is given 24 hours to retrieve a sacred stone he lost 6 years ago in order to prove his worth to his people and take the mantle as their leader. Instead of turning into a wolf, he transforms into a poodle. When the day finally comes for him to transform and take control of the pack, something strange happens. The film tells the story of Freddy Lupin, an enthusiastic young werewolf yet to transform for the first time.
Not only that, but now I’m here to tell you that there are more international animated films you can distract your little ones with, such as the Australian Werewolf film 100% Wolf. Fortunately for them, and the rest of us, Disney launched their own streaming service and released some exclusive content onto it such as the remake of Mulan and, on Christmas Day, Pixar’s new film, Soul. With new releases being few and far between, thanks to a little insignificant virus by the name of COVID-19, thousands of parents around the world are in desperate need of something to entertain their little ones as we fluctuate in and out of lockdowns and life restrictions.
