The Wild Robot 2024

★★★★½

Watched 09 Oct 2024

Roz: Sometimes, to survive, you must become more than you were programmed to be.

The Wild Robot directed by Chris Sanders, left me utterly moved. 

No joke, I choked up like three times during the film - it's incredibly heartwarming, emotional, and beautiful. 

The stunning hand-painted animation and fantastic score perfectly complement the stellar voice acting from Lupita Nyong'o and the rest of the cast. 

The story, about a robot who forms a family with a baby goose on a remote island, is both poignant and uplifting. 

My only minor criticism is that the pacing feels a bit rushed at times, but given the film's already substantial 102-minute runtime, it's understandable that there might not have been room for more breathing space. 

Overall, it's a must-see for anyone who loves animation and a good story.

Call your family.

Recommendation: SCREEN
