'The Wolf and the Lion' pairs the two animals in an implausible family-friendly adventure.

Scrolling through internet videos is generally regarded as a waste of time, but watching 100 minutes of cute animals on your phone is preferable to sitting through the laughably bad “The Wolf and the Lion.” Director Gilles de Maistre and writer Prune de Maistre pair these predators, proving that the “unlikely animal friends” concept should be limited to a 90-second video rather than a family-friendly feature-length drama.

After her grandfather’s death, a young woman named Alma returns to the family’s private island. She discovers her grandfather had befriended a snow wolf , who brings her cub into his cabin. Then a plane crashes, literally dropping a lion cub into Alma’s arms from the sky . Alma does the only logical thing: raises the cubs herself, carting in boxes of meat for the cute carnivores with the help of her reluctant friend Joe . When her secret is inevitably discovered, the local authorities separate the BFFs from each other and her, but they’re desperate to reunite.“The Wolf and the Lion” does have impressive scenes of these two animals, first as aww-inducing babies and then as awe-inspiring adults, all shot in the impossibly beautiful Canadian forest.
