Wild Life is a 2011 Canadian animated short film by Wendy Tilby and Amanda Forbis.

Wild Life was produced by Marcy Page and Bonnie Thompson.[5]
Plot
The film follows the story of a dapper young remittance man sent to Alberta from England in 1909, with disastrous results.[3][4]
Production
In addition to writing and directing the film, Forbis and Tilby drew and painted every animation frame in guache, and wrote the lyrics for the film's final song. They were only able to work on Wild Life part-time, due to commercial obligations, and the film is reported to have taken them from six to over seven years, from concept to completion.[5][6]
Awards
The film has been nominated as Best Animated Short Film at the 84th Academy Awards, and Best Animated Short Subject at the 39th Annie Awards as well as a Genie Award for Best Animated Short at the 32nd Genie Awards. The short won three honors at the 38th Annual Alberta Film and Television Awards in Calgary, including the Rosie for Best Short. Forbis and Tilby also won the Rosie for Best Animator(s) or Motion Graphic Artist(s), while the award for Best Overall Sound — Drama went to Wild Life creative crew David J. Taylor and Pat Butler.[7]
