The Wild Robot

The Wild Robot (2024)

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Based off the book series, this is the most recent DreamWorks masterpiece. Roz is a robot that is very out of place as she finds herself on her own in the wilderness with no knowledge of how she got there or why she is there, and none of the locals seem to like her. Through a series of misfortunes, she slowly gets to know a few brave souls who eventually see something in her aside from the "monster" and give her a chance, especially once she has Brightbill is in her care. With the unlikely help of Fink, a lonely if tricky fox, the trio learns what it means to be part of a family and eventually even something greater as the entire island has more than a few reasons to come together. The ending is especially touching and hopeful, with more than a few lessons mixed into the story if you want them.
