Chris Sanders' The Call of the Wild is a handsome enough production. Janusz Kaminski's cinematography and the production design by Stefan Dechant are particularly fetching. However, the film suffers from Disneyfication. The anamorphic animals look dead-eyed on the CGI canvas. It misses the mythic pull of London's yarn chiefly because it aims to be a theme park with thrill rides.
