Score: 10/10 ✅

After Roz's abrupt arrival in the first scene, The Wild Robot drifts our expectations that our lovely robot is perhaps not misplaced in achieving its purposes. In tandem with that thinking, it became clear that this movie was about to earn a place in my top favourite of the year.

Chris Sander, a respectful director who has consistently delivered remarkable movies, one after another, has an extraordinary talent for evoking deep emotions. Upon exploring his (short yet perfect) filmography, it has become clear his feature films used a mystical power to move me to tears every single time. It's no coincidence; this man is either an emotional genius or possesses a heart of pure gold.

The Wild Robot is one of those movies where I found myself entirely caught up in the process of Motherhood. Well-staged to be amusing yet constantly flooded with a feeling of reassurance. Suffice it to say; it's consoling to see the three main characters, who are facing solitude (and a sense of not fitting in), having all their moments to prove they can bring commonsense reasoning and a way to contribute to the roughness of the wilderness — a tremendous cinematic demonstration of the word unity.

From the outside, it's a funny (and clever) clash of Nature vs. technology; the number of one-liners related to seeking the perfect assistant leads to many hilarious sequences. Surprisingly, the movie moves past this incompatibility and stirs Roz into supervising this cute gosling. As previously mentioned, The Wild Robot takes priority over Brightbill development.

By the end, Roz is learning the benefits of acting against her programmed software, parallel to the animals who must learn to act against their instincts to stay alive. All this leads to another (but different) take on Nature vs. Technology. This time, it's on another level; a very satisfying action plan and counteracting are the focus. Almost like the movie is screaming, 'You've messed with the wrong family.' Super fun way to end this cool movie.

An extremely remarkable and sensitively open experience.
