The Wild Robot 

 

Yolanda, myself and Noah all watched The Wild Robot on a movie night. I vaguely remember a little bit about this movie from previews. I am so glad I remembered it and added it my purchase listing when we had the money. I am also really glad we had the time to watch this movie that lasts for one hour and forty-two minutes. There is a bit of cartoon violence here and there within The Wild Robot. Some of it is for comic relief like The Three Stooges.

Spoilers are going to be a part of this review going forward. These boxes of robots are debris on an island in The Wild Robot. We later learn that they were on a cargo ship that crashed. These otters accidently turn on Roz. She is trying to find her purpose. She is a robot designed to help humans with their tasks. Roz tries to help different animals and gives them stickers when she is done.

As you might expect Roz makes a mess of a great many things in The Wild Robot trying to help the animals. She gets attacked by the animals and cannot even send a distress signal out for help. Roz goes into analysis mode and learns the language of the animals in The Wild Robot. Roz accidentally breaks a goose nest and saves one egg. The egg hatches Brightbill. Fink is a fox that tries to eat the egg, and the gosling in The Wild Robot.

Roz overwrites her own programming to raise Brightbill. Roz in essence becomes a mother. She must feed Brightbill, teach him to swim, and teach him to fly. The thing about The Wild Robot that really stands out to me is the heart of it. The sacrifices parents make for their kids. Brightbill leaves with the geese and even catches the eye of the leader. At one point Brightbill leads the geese out of the human area with other robots like Roz.

Brightbill got mad at Roz for the accident that killed his family. Roz plans on leaving but a hard winter hits the island. Roz saves all of the animals by bringing them into her hut that has a fire. The company eventually comes for Roz but Brightbill and the geese free her. Part of the forest gets burned down. Roz makes a better home for the animals and then heads back. She plans on seeing Brightbill again someday because of her heart.

We all really enjoyed watching The Wild Robot. The emotion, and sacrifice within The Wild Robot is fantastic. I love the part where Fink gets the animals to settle down. They make the home a place where predators and prey can stay safe together. There are some great funny parts within The Wild Robot. This movie earns the rarely given Family Friendly Gaming Seal of Approval. I recommend you check it out.
