The story as it is could work as a PG-13 movie, donné a few tweeks.
-The first major plot point is the fact that the loup packs are suffering through a nourriture shortage. We need to see one of the weaker pups wither and die from starvation, making Winston plus desperate for a way to end the crisis.
-There could be some OTHER loups who got captured along with Kate and Humphrey. Once they discover their reasons for being brought to Idaho, they take their roles as repopulators a LITTLE TOO SERIOUSLY, and Kate-Humph have to fight them off before she becomes an unwilling mother.
-Wolves are carnivores. No sense in dancing around the éléphant in the room that these characters are all KILLERS. There's no need to go overboard on the gore factor, but the movie shouldn't be afraid to montrer them eating meat.
No she didn't, she gave him an unidentifiable cutlet that toi might find as a free sample being offered at the grocery store. Let's see them eat REAL meat, like the zèbre, zebra leg that Scar offered the hyenas. MDR
Maybe plus creativity, personality, and still avoiding some generic realism only like "wolves are wolves" for example because doing that example would ruin what made this movie good on it's own and probably turn this into a COMPLETELY FORGETTABLE movie. Worse than one of the sequels.
Many people like adding human personal features inside four legged animaux because it adds plus maybe.
