The Call of the Wild 4K Review
Jack London is one of the most popular writers of the last century, and certainly the first whose name comes to mind when it comes to the Gold Rush. Therefore, it is not surprising that his story “Call of the Ancestors” was filmed as many as seven times already, if you count the picture of Chris Sanders coming out tomorrow on the big screens. For Sanders, an animation specialist who presented us with “How to Train Your Dragon”, this is the first game picture, and I must say that he coped with it perfectly. Since the cartoons are primarily designed for children, as well as the first adventure novels by Jack London, which includes Call of the Ancestors, a director who knows how to entertain and educate a child through animation, it was not difficult to entice a young man in this feature film viewer inside a colorful narrative. Although, it can’t do without 3D animation, because the main character of the film - the dog Back - is drawn on a computer (so much so that it cannot be distinguished from the real one). This makes him not just a smart dog that is silent, but understands everything, but a truly living hero, with his own character and even light facial expressions. This approach in animating Beck seems very reasonable and correct. This is not an ordinary dog, a friend of a person, but also not a talking cartoon.

Company Beck, by chance caught in the cold and snowy Yukon, was Harrison Ford, Omar Si and Kara Guy (TV series "Expansion"). True, despite his photo on the poster, the incredibly charming Harrison Ford will have to wait about half an hour, and the stated in the credits Karen Gillan, as if altogether cut out during installation and left in a couple of scenes. However, this does not affect the perception of the film and only emphasizes the fact that perhaps the most difficult part of the path, Back had to do alone with other people. By the way, you should not think that “Call of the Ancestors” is exclusively for a children's audience. It would be most correct to call it a family picture, where even an adult should like Canadian landscapes and some, albeit banal, but quite correct words and deeds of the heroes. And the complete isolation of the film from modern reality is likely to please. Indeed, throughout the film, Beck will face severe trials, fun adventures and unforgettable discoveries. He learns the carrot and stick, and at some point, in these wild conditions, where a man’s foot has not yet gone everywhere, surrounded by pristine nature, he will feel the magnificent call of his ancestors.
