EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER MUST WATCH THIS MOVIE

I'm not a very emotional person. I hardly if ever cry at emotional movies or themes. I can sit through the likes of Wonder without shedding one tear. If I ever cry at a movie, it's o ce, and it's quick. One tear or so, and it's over. The last time I remember that happening, it was Guardians of the Galaxy Volume 3. So, that's understandable.

That being said, this movie made me cry TWICE.
Stellar animation coupled with one of the most immersive sound tracks I've ever heard from a movie, The Wild Robot delivers its message by dragging you in for the ride and helping you grow with the robot of the story. A very heartwarming story is delivered about holding good values and being a good mother in a cruel and unchanging world. Themes are all very well delivered, the characters are all dynamic and interesting. When I said everyone and their mothers should watch this movie, I MEANT IT. I believe this movie could have a strong encouragement/acknowledgement for the mothers out there, whether feeling the difficulties of or feeling outright discouraged with being a mother, as well as young women who may be considering becoming one. Whatever the case, this movie did something that no Disney movie ever accomplishes (did it again Dreamworks) -- it made a mom the main character.
