Family audiences rejoice! The Oscar for Best Animated Film belongs right here in this enchanting tale of a robot, voiced by the amazing Lupita Nyong'o, who finds herself playing mother to a baby goose. The result is spectacular in every sense of the word.

Much like DreamWorks' other stellar 2024 entry Orion and the Dark, The Wild Robot treats its intended younger audience with the maturity and emotional intelligence they deserve, but for an even more spectacular result.

Rated: 5 / 5

Pulled heartstrings with such beautiful message/s. The plot in this animated movie was far better than what you can expect from Warner Bros/DC Entertainment nowadays.
