Robinson Crusoe (released in North America as The Wild Life) is a 2016 3D animated adventure comedy film directed by Vincent Kesteloot and Ben Stassen and written by Lee Christopher, Domonic Paris and Graham Weldon.
During a violent storm, the two are accidentally locked in the ship's belowdeck along with a pair of spoiled British Shorthairs, Mal and May, while the crew escapes with their lives.
While building a home for Crusoe, Tuesday explains to his friends that when he was a little parrot, his family abandoned him when a band of cats started attacking them.
The Pirate crew notice that they didn't pay attention to Crusoe when he was trapped inside the belowdeck and begin rowing across the sea for him.
The animals arrive to the rescue and save Tuesday by throwing plates and meat while Mal and May manage to attract herds of other cats during the fight.
The animals are alarmed by this and arrive to help him where Kiki uses a raft as a stretcher and they are able to carry him to safety where the pirate crew nurse him back to health the next morning.
Tuesday is able to tell a group of animals about the rescue last night and how Mal and May got defeated leaving them pleased that the cats won't come back to the island.
The pirate crew get ready to head back to England but Crusoe convinces them to stay at the island because the animals helped survive and saved him when he was unconscious.
[1] In the United States, where the film is marketed as The Wild Life, it was released on 9 September 2016, alongside The Disappointments Room, Sully and When the Bough Breaks, and was projected to gross around $5 million from 2,493 theaters in its opening weekend.
The site's critical consensus reads, "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.
