Christy Lemire FilmWeek (LAist) Lupita Nyong'o is doing fantastic voice work here. The whole cast is great. Nov 3, 2024 Full Review Wendy Ide Observer (UK) It’s sentimental stuff, certainly, but the picture’s unexpectedly dark humour outweighs any maudlin tendencies. Rated: 4/5 Oct 30, 2024 Full Review Mark Kermode Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube) It's got lots of lovely life lessons. Oct 22, 2024 Full Review Sheraz Farooqi CinemaDebate THE WILD ROBOT is wholesome and beautifully animated. The animation style is unique and storybook-esque, while themes are strong and multi-layered. Almost feels like DreamWorks meets Studio Ghibli. Rated: 4/5 Apr 22, 2025 Full Review Max Gao Elle Lupita Nyong’o, Kit Connor, and Pedro Pascal form the emotional core of this heartfelt film. It’s a perfect family movie. Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Armond White National Review Sanders may pay tribute to the palette of Miyazaki and to classic Disney animation, but his nihilist reflex gives way to commercial sentimentality, reducing morality to manipulation.
