Overview
On a tiny exotic island, Tuesday, an outgoing parrot lives with his quirky animal friends in paradise. However, Tuesday can't stop dreaming about discovering the world. After a violent storm, Tuesday and his friends wake up to find a strange creature on the beach: Robinson Crusoe. Tuesday immediately views Crusoe as his ticket off the island to explore new lands. Likewise, Crusoe soon realizes that the key to surviving on the island is through the help of Tuesday and the other animals. It isn't always easy at first, as the animals don't speak "human." Slowly but surely, they all start living together in harmony, until one day, when their comfortable life is overturned by two savage cats, who wish to take control of the island. A battle ensues between the cats and the group of friends but Crusoe and the animals soon discover the true power of friendship up against all odds (even savage cats).

Primary
The film focuses on universal themes of survival, friendship, and cooperation between humans and animals, consciously avoiding explicit political messaging or ideological promotion.
This animated adaptation of Robinson Crusoe maintains traditional casting for its human protagonist, with no explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. The narrative focuses on adventure and survival, presenting traditional identities in a neutral or positive light without incorporating explicit DEI critiques.
Secondary
The film features May, a female goat, who utilizes her physical strength and natural abilities to engage in and win close-quarters physical confrontations against male feline antagonists during the defense of the island home.
The film "Robinson Crusoe" (2016 animated version) does not contain any discernible LGBTQ+ characters or themes. Its narrative centers on a shipwrecked man and his interactions with island animals, with no elements related to queer identity or experiences.
The film adapts Daniel Defoe's novel, retaining Robinson Crusoe and Friday as male characters. The prominent animal characters are largely original to this adaptation or do not have a widely established canonical gender from the source material that was subsequently changed.
The 2016 animated film "Robinson Crusoe" (also known as "The Wild Life") depicts Robinson Crusoe as a white man, consistent with the source material. The character of Friday, a prominent non-white character from the original novel, is not present as a human character in this adaptation, thus no race swap occurs.
