" I know you all have instincts that keep you alive. But sometimes to survive, we must become more than we were programmed to be."

The Wild Robot is a sweet and sentimental animated film that aims to pull at your heart strings and boy is it effective especially during the first half of the film where the robot raises the baby goose and takes her under her robotic arms to prepare her for nature's challenges. It's a love letter to all mothers and the sacrifices they go through to ensure their offspring have everything they need to succeed in life. It is sweet, innocent, and touching. The second half is where the adventure begins and it losses some of that sentimental touch, but it also delivers fun and exciting scenes. The Wild Robot may not be director Chris Sanders best work (How to Train Your Dragon is still my favorite from him) but at least it brings him back to his roots of trying to deliver emotional and inspirational stories through his animation. The characters and the animation is lively, but what truly stands out is the story for sure and how it has brought out tears from the audience. Pedro Pascal and Lupita Nyong'o do great voice work here as well and the characters are memorable. The Wild Robot is a lovely animated film and one that you will want to watch with your whole family. The Wild Robot is enduring.
