The Wild Robot is an animated movie about a robot that is shipwrecked on an island with no humans, but plenty of wild life. The robot needs a task, so ends up with the job of raising a baby goose.
IMDB seems to have been review bombed by studio shills. The movie is pretty good, but not “an instant classic” or “destined to win multiple Oscars”. The animation looks good, and occasionally great, but the animals can be too cutesy. The first half of the movie is witty, and takes some risks. It’s not the typical sugary sweet depiction of nature. In the second half, the movie is going in too many directions.
The Message for children: “work together” or “let’s all just get along”. Since everyone is an animal or robot, there are no degenerates. Nothing WOKE.
The Message for adults: Who knows? It’s stupid. The robot saves all of the animals, and gets them to be friends. It isn’t explained what the predators are going to eat. In the last third of the movie, the bad guy is the company that is responsibly attempting to recover a rogue robot.
The Wild Robot is a good movie, but not great, maybe 7/10. Puss in Boots: The Last Wish is far superior.
