I had low expectations for this movie, but guess what?! My goodness, I haven't seen a movie like this for a long time! Simple but deep at the same time. The message about life and how it's goes, and how the life is, it's deeper, inspirational and I think it can move us to think about life and our relationships. It's a such good movie for a kid or an adult. I'm very impressed! I hope that the industry could copy the formula for doing a great movie. The message on the movie helps and make our life's richer about what really matters. It's instantly a classic, and I hope my review helps more people to watch that movie and experience a beautiful master piece!
I loved this movie.
It has a wonderful message of tolerance and unity. The voice acting is charming. The animation is very good, stunning at times. I liked the story, though I can see some people feeling it's too schmaltzy or corny.
In a world that is so divided, and a country that is seemingly hopelessly divided, it's very comforting to experience a story of characters coming together, being able to accept their differences, and building a community. Sadly, that's what makes it fiction too. But it's nice to dream.
The fact that the title character, and the character that inspires all the change, is the ultimate "other" only serves to make the point more elegantly.
I suppose some people will think it's manipulative and needlessly tugs at the audience's heartstrings. But that's part of the beauty to me.

I loved this movie.
When I watched this movie I was not familiar with the book, so i was going in blind, and boy I was not disappointed. I loved the movie from beginning to end because of the animation style, the characters, the soundtrack, and the different themes from the movie. I always love whenever movies leave a lasting impact on you and this one definitely has. I will be honest I didn't expect to cry during this movie but I did......three times. It was so simple yet complex in what themes they were conveying, and I highly recommend people of all ages to watch this movie. The themes that I picked up on were motherhood, being viewed as different in society, and growing up. I loved and adored this movie so much and I cannot wait to watch it again.
The movie, despite being based on a book, has a unique concept. A robot surviving and adapting in the wild is both whimsical and thoughtful. It captures the viewer immediately.
The idea of an emotionally detached robot slowly becoming more human than machine through her interactions is intriguingly captivating. Not to forget the gorgeous illustrations and animation Subtle but powerful themes about nature, empathy, and what it truly means to be alive.
The only flaw is that some characters feel as if they are not quite developed for instance Pink Tale is a fun character and seems to have a nice background story, but it was only insinuated. Overall, the movie is heartwarming.

I was lucky enough to attend a preview screening of "The Wild Robot", and it quickly became one of my favourite films this year. This beautifully animated movie goes beyond just being family-friendly; it's an emotional and thought-provoking experience. From the stunning visuals to the heartwarming story, "The Wild Robot" delivers powerful messages about empathy, connection, and what it means to belong.
The film effortlessly blends lighthearted moments with deeper emotional themes, making it an instant classic in my eyes. I was an emotional wreck (in the best possible way) for most of it, completely immersed in the story and the characters' experiences. It's rare to find an animated film that strikes a chord so deeply, and I can't recommend it enough. "The Wild Robot" is a true 10/10, and I'm excited to see how it touches others just as it did me.
