I saw it in the theater when it came out, lots of good movies from back then.
IIRC the gag was everyone was worried that the wolves were eating caribou and he discovered they were living on mice instead.
His whole "eating mice" thing was a proof of concept. Can a higher order mammal subsist on a mouse diet? Apparently, yes!
But 1983 was a tough year for films. It was #140 at the box office. Same year Return of the Jedi was #1, Tootsie, Flashdance, Trading Places, War Games, Octopussy, Risky Business, Mr. Mom... eesh.

If you want another great, overlooked film from '83, check out #77 - The Year of Living Dangerously.

The story is about a love affair set in Indonesia during the overthrow of President Sukarno. It follows a group of foreign correspondents in Jakarta on the eve of an attempted coup by the 30 September Movement in 1965.
Linda Hunt won the academy award for best supporting actress for her role, and would later go on to be the iconic bartender in Silverado.
That sounds great, I will check it out. Thanks!
