Watchlist:

Going on a safari is a dream for many. For middle-aged couple Linda and Troyer, it turns into a horribly real adventure when they get left behind in the wilderness.

Why you might like this:

Fans of offbeat, quirky animated adventures will find much to appreciate in this 2017 film directed by Nicolas Keppens. The unlikely pairing of a middle-aged couple on a disastrous safari trip provides plenty of comedic moments, and the distinctive visual style and gentle thematic exploration of loneliness and connection elevate this film beyond a standard slapstick farce.

About

Wildebeest, also called gnu, are antelopes of the genus Connochaetes and native to Eastern and Southern Africa. They belong to the family Bovidae, which includes true antelopes, cattle, goats, sheep, and other even-toed horned ungulates. There are two species of wildebeest: the black wildebeest or white-tailed gnu, and the blue wildebeest or brindled gnu.
