Featured reviews
Chris Sanders comes back right when he's needed, this animated movie will go down in history not only as one of the greatest animated films but as one of the greatest films in cinema history. This is solid 10/10 for me, my only wish now is for this movie to succeed at the box office as well.
Hours later from seeing the film and I'm still emotional, I'm not your average movie goar, and of late very few movies can surprise me much these days, however today I met my match with The Wild Robot. I can't remember the last time a movie made me feel this way. Am truly in awww with Wild Robot, I highly recommend you catch it in cinemas with family.

I loved this movie.
It has a wonderful message of tolerance and unity. The voice acting is charming. The animation is very good, stunning at times. I liked the story, though I can see some people feeling it's too schmaltzy or corny.
In a world that is so divided, and a country that is seemingly hopelessly divided, it's very comforting to experience a story of characters coming together, being able to accept their differences, and building a community. Sadly, that's what makes it fiction too. But it's nice to dream.
The fact that the title character, and the character that inspires all the change, is the ultimate "other" only serves to make the point more elegantly.
I suppose some people will think it's manipulative and needlessly tugs at the audience's heartstrings. But that's part of the beauty to me.

I was initially skeptical, given the quality of recent movie releases, many of which have been disappointing. However, this film exceeded my expectations and turned out to be a very pleasant surprise.
It's a beautifully crafted story about family, tolerance, courage, and the journey of finding one's place in life. The characters are relatable, and the emotional depth is captivating. What sets this film apart is the lack of aggressive messaging, which has unfortunately become common in many modern films.
That being said, there were a few minor flaws. For example, some transitions felt abrupt, particularly the harsh winter scene, where a smoother connection would have improved the narrative flow. Despite these small issues, the overall experience was engaging and heartfelt.
I can wholeheartedly recommend this film to anyone looking for a meaningful and well-made story. It's a refreshing reminder of what cinema can achieve when it focuses on universal themes and genuine storytelling.

"The Wild Robot" is this generations "Bambi"...yes it's that damn fine...like a coffee from "Twin Peaks".
The Key Lime Pie in this animation masterpiece is the beautiful, inclusive story that deals with so many hot topic issues including: finding your heart or living with a disability, without preaching to anyone.
During the first act I was laughing so hard at the brilliant, natural comic moments shared from the book of the same name written by Peter Brown.
By the second act I was in awe of where this story arc was taking the audience and by the third act I felt salt water in my eyes.
"The Wild Robot" will make you laugh, cry and sigh!
The celebrity voiceover cast of Lupita Nyong'o, Catherine O'Hara ("Beetlejuice" she's so hot right now), Bill Nighy, Matt Berry ("Toast of London"), Ving Rhames, Mark Hamill, Pedro Pascal and so many others do an amazing job of breathing life into this screenplay, backed by the lush island atmosphere and the gorgeous creatures that inhabit it.
Director Chris Sanders obsession with animation from "Lilo and Stitch" to "The Croods" has paid dividends in "The Wild Robot".
This film shows us that sometimes to survive you must become more than you were programmed to be.

I saw the Wild Robot during its TIFF premiere and I have not been able to stop thinking about it. It's one of those movies that really makes an impact on you, and you leave that theatre feeling completely changed. The story was so beautiful, so heartfelt and touching that I cried 3 times. It was a beautiful tale about a found family, unexpected bonds and the beauty of motherhood. I'm currently reading the book and can't wait for the rest of the world to see this wonderful movie. Not to mention, the animation is so adorable, especially Brightbill, you will be holding in a coo every couple minutes. I absolutely adore this movie and can't wait to watch it again.
