    There's absolutely no question that The Wild Robot is a gorgeous-looking film. The paint-on-3D technique that's been in vogue lately (in other Dreamworks projects like the most recent Puss n Boots, for example) is really very beautiful, especially at rendering nature. In this story, a service robot is accidentally activated on a small, woodland island and ends up having a gosling imprint upon it. It must rewrite its programming to accomplish the "task" of motherhood, which is the underlying metaphor, though in the way that other animals are used, the film is also about how "othering" is ultimately self-defeating and community-building a better, sounder approach. I don't know how much of this is on the children's book it's based on, but that sounds very 2024 to me. We're largely in Bambi/Lion King Land here, with the circle of life, a small animal growing up, and maybe a fire at the end, but mostly through the mother's eyes. It does get schmaltzy at times, but sometimes you want schmaltzy, you want the music to manipulate you into a state, you want to cry your eyes out. A lot of delighted sounds from children in the audience, but it perhaps hit their parents hardest. 3 weeks 4 days ago

    While not exactly breaking new grounds in terms of originality (you will get a little Wall-E, a little Baymax, a little EVE and a little Giant Robot all at once), the movie offers some genuine laughs and a solid storytelling that will keep little kids and big kids engaged. 3 weeks 5 days ago

    Predictable story but really nice and sweet movie. Great (3D) animation, fun characters, funny, emotional and exciting. Birthday party with 9 ten year old boys.....they all loved it. 1 week 1 day ago
