You won't just watch this film, you'll feel it - the raw power of the wilderness, the fierce loyalty of the pack, and the sheer, breathtaking beauty of their journey. Wolf King 2025 isn't just a film; it's a visceral experience that will leave you howling for more!"

It's hard to impress this (almost) 7 year old. We decided to give this a shot and we were hooked! With only 8 episodes, they wasted no time getting into the action. It kept a great pace, and it wasn't too fast where we couldn't follow or had to pause, back up, and play again. There were just a couple of plot holes here and there, but again, 8 short episodes are hard to condense so much story into. Netflix has really jumped into animation, I just hope when they pick up stories from book series or previous works, that they give it the proper time to work it well. We look forward for a season 2!!

The story, characters all seem good but the framerate made me stop half way through. It's trying to impersonate a stop motion movie but fails that and just quickly gave me and my partner a headache. I am ok with classic comics and cartoons at 15-18per second but this is way below that. Just comparing with Arcane makes it unwatchable. Unfortunately for the writers the tech did not serve this story well.

I am sure it is possible to reprocess this and add more frames , this is just cgi interpolation at the end of the day. Otherwise it'll join the raft of programmes that tried too hard to be innovative and stick out of the cloud and failed in the process.

A really solid story and great animation offering from Netflix. I have not read the books and have no idea how the show compares, but it makes me curious to read them.

I see a few complaints about the animation style and the story development! I understand both complaints but I have to disagree... you can't always have every detail in a story. Though I would have like to have seen a little more relationship development between the lead character and his group of friends. The time period of the show seems as if it takes place over a couple of weeks but there is a couple statements that makes you think it is a much longer period. Those inconsistencies could have been avoided. But I don't need every detail of his origins.

I completely disagree with the complaints about animation. It was a choice and it works. The target audience is young people. Like early teens maybe... so the animation style is almost nostalgic for children's books and shows, yet of a quality lending itself to quality art.

Bottom line is, it's worth the watch whether you are 12 or 52!

As stated in each episode, this show was inspired by the book series, authored by Curtis Jobling. I read them around 4 times growing up, and to be completely honest I was incredibly hesitant to watch any adaptations. Was I wrong to think this? Not entirely. With Jobling as head writer, his strokes are present in the limited space of 8 episodes. And it's clear that his vision was mostly translated to the screen, which is frankly phenomenal when it comes to adapting epic fantasy. However that being said I feel that the frame rate of animation lets things down. I wasn't as impressed by the beast forms of some of the characters (Lucas I'm looking at you) as I should've been. Although saying that I will stand by the beautiful human forms, backgrounds and worldbuilding brilliantly communicated through the animation. Overall I give this show a 9/10 in part to hope for a season 2, so that the show can build off and really delve into the world of Lyssia and in turn Bast.
