After a shipwreck, an intelligent robot named Roz is stranded on an uninhabited island
To survive the harsh environment, Roz joins the island’s animals and they care for an orphaned robot goose together. According to author Peter Brown, the inspiration for "The Wild Robot" came from a sketch he made of a robot in a tree. He then asked the question, “What would an intelligent robot do in the wild?” When the fox enters the lodge, a moose near the door growls, but the sound effect used is a recording of a bear.

This beautifully animated film goes beyond being simply family-friendly; it’s a thought-provoking and emotional experience

I was fortunate enough to attend an advance screening of “The Wild Robot,” and it quickly became one of my favorite films this year.
The film effortlessly blends lighthearted moments with deeper emotional themes, making it an instant classic in my eyes
From the stunning visuals to the touching story, “The Wild Robot” delivers powerful messages about empathy, connection, and what it means to belong. I was an emotional wreck (in the best way possible) for most of it, completely immersed in the story and the characters’ experiences. It’s rare to find an animated film that strikes a chord so deeply, and I can’t recommend it enough.
