The Wild Robot

"Deviated a bit from the book but even if you haven’t read it-an excellent movie! Loved by me and my eight year old. We read the book together. Tears and laughter abounded!"

"A profoundly moving film! This legit made me close to tear up. A beautiful film that uses the story of a robot interacting with the wild as a fable for humanity (both in terms of commentary on how we treat the environment as well as the human connection) and creating a found family along the way. A truly astounding multi-layered screenplay that touches on the heartstrings in a way that never feels contrived, along with beautiful animation and fantastic voice performances especially from Lupita Nyong’o as the titular robot (what a year for her between this and A QUIET PLACE: DAY ONE), Pedro Pascal as the red fox and Kit Connor as the goose. Easily one of the best films of the year (hard to see this moving out of the Top 10) and one of the best animated films to release in a long time (hope it wins the Oscar). Very highly recommended."

"This was a cutesy kids movie to watch. I did like the art style they used for the animation and it makes me want to read the book it was based on. The main actors I’m familiar with are Lupita N’yongo, Mark Hamill, Catherine O’Hara, and Pedro Pascal. They all did a great job voice acting. Some of the dialogue I felt didn’t transition well or it was weird how the conversation flowed in some parts. There was one scene where the music score played that pulled at my heartstrings as the robot tries to help her gosling fly. It sounded so majestic and beautiful, I loved that scene for it. Overall, it’s not a bad movie, I’d watch it again."

"This better win the Best Animated Feature Oscar "
