Dronon's review of "Wolf Children" was not particularly favorable; evidently it didn't work as well for him as it did for me or a lot of other viewers. Its rating on MyAnimeList is 8.70 which currently makes it the 9th highest rated of all anime film. Over on RottenTomatoes "Wolf Children" has a score of 94%, albeit with a relatively low 18 reviews.
If the relatively limited screen time of characters in full or partial wolf form is a factor, it wouldn't be for "The Boy and the Beast" (which appears on the above MyAnimeList chart at #33 with an 8.41 rating; 90% on RT). In that one a significant portion of the story takes place in a "hidden" community populated by anthro animals.
