It may not have the focus and flair of How to Train Your Dragon, but Chris Sanders’ quirky tale of an unlikely bond between an upbeat android and an orphaned gosling has a lot of heart.

The lessons of The Wild Robot are simple, but the artistry it uses to get there is anything but. It’s the kind of kids movie that feels all too rare with its painterly backdrops and genuine earnestness. The whole family is likely to fall in love.

Lupita Nyong'o is doing fantastic voice work here. The whole cast is great.

[The Wild Robot] proves that there’s still room for original stories with emotional resonance in a genre that, sadly, seems to have strayed from its creative roots in recent years. [Full Review in Spanish]

I’m hard-pressed to come up with another film that so easily communicates the joy of being alive while never once underselling life’s inherent traumas. In many ways, The Wild Robot takes themes from adjacent films [...] and does them each one better.

Not much to say here that other people have not already seen. I can't really remember the last time that a big film like this decided to do an "adoptive parent/child" relationship and do it well! Very good film to put on for a movie night. Looking forward to the sequel!

Saw this one on a whim and didn't regret it one bit. Someone said it was a kids movie but it definitely doesn't feel like one. I loved the animation and all the voice actors melted into their roles, whether animal or machine they were all a great fit.
