The Wild Robot (2024)

Director: Chris Sanders

After a shipwreck, an intelligent robot called Roz is stranded on an uninhabited island. To survive the harsh environment, Roz bonds with the island’s animals and cares for an orphaned baby goose.

Roz is an advanced AI robot designed to make life easier for humans. When Roz – along with a few other robots – washes up on an island, she is constantly looking for someone to serve, but there are only animals on the island. Thanks to Roz’ technology, she is able to translate the animal languages, allowing her to communicate with them.

When Roz accidentally falls on a goose nest, only one egg is spared. Unable to find someone to raise the chick, she takes it upon herself to care for it. Fink, a fox who initially wanted to eat the egg, becomes Roz’ friend and helps her raise the chick they named Brightbill.

When Brightbill is all grown up, none of the other geese accepts him, and he remains an outcast. Just like Brightbill, Roz is also constantly looking for a place to fit in. ‘The Wild Robot’ is a wonderful movie with an underlying theme of acceptance, hope, and persistence.

As the film develops, it becomes an exciting action adventure. The animation is stunning. This is a film young and old can enjoy. It is funny as it is endearing. By the end of the film, I thought ‘Holy Mother Goose, this was enjoyable!’.

‘The Wild Robot’ earned nearly $155 million on a budget of $78 million.

Would I watch it again? Yes, I loved it.
