Observer (UK)

It’s sentimental stuff, certainly, but the picture’s unexpectedly dark humour outweighs any maudlin tendencies.

Rated: 4/5

FilmSpeak (Youtube)

The Wild Robot is a symphony of soul crescendoing into the most poignant portrait of parenthood. Its breathtaking animation and score are equaled only by how heartwrenching and touching it is. It’s an epic tale of love and acceptance.

Rated: 5/5

Lyles' Movie Files

The Wild Robot is just another example of why DreamWorks Animation is steadily closing the gap with top tier animated films. This is an outstanding movie and will certainly be a major player come awards season.

Rated: 9.5/10
