- Synopsis:
From DreamWorks Animation comes an adaptation of Peter Brown's award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, 'The Wild Robot'. The epic adventure stars Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong'o (Us, the Black Panther franchise) as Roz, a robot that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must adapt to the harsh surroundings. Gradually Roz starts building relationships with the animals on the island, including a clever fox voiced by Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian), and becomes the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling named Brightbill. 'The Wild Robot' is a powerful story about self-discovery, a thrilling examination of the bridge between technology and nature, and a moving exploration of what it means to be alive and connected to all living things. - Directors:

Beautiful story for children... and all that that implies - The Wild Robot review by YL
I recently missed this in the cinema and with everyone calling it a modern masterpiece I couldn't wait to see it on a big OLED screen.
No question the art style, the direction is amazing. Pixar and Disney have been recently really dropping the ball with sticking to the safe glossy plastic art style going on decades, and I have very much transitioned into preferring experimental art style the likes of spiderverse/TMNT, and this oil brush style is something to behold.
Having said that the story is rather....simple and predictable. It it derived from a children's book series from what I understand and it never reaches the heights of melancholy contemplativeness or mind blowing world building or great and memorable character interactions. In fact character motivations and dialogue are often painfully spelt out and reinforced awkwardly again and again, and I would have even preferred if there was no dialogue whatsoever.
It does feel like somewhat of a mash of Wall-E/Iron Giant/Fly away home/Bambi/Last Bastion, that never comes into focus beyond surface level concepts.
