- neuroparadox19h agoI had a witty review but my tears washed it away. Call your mother! (and/or roomba!) 😭❤️🤖🪿
- TamilforceJuly 16, 2025Surprisingly it was great. The trailer didn’t do justice.
- rg9400November 1, 2024If you told me this movie was made by Pixar, I would have fully believed you. In a lot of ways, this movie manages to effortlessly capture the emotional heart and wholesomeness of those movies while still feeling inventive and quirky. The music and animation is top-tier, and it is supported by a phenomenal voice cast. The plot beats do feel a bit predictable and cliched, but the movie is so incredibly well-paced so that nothing overstays its welcome. Certain developments could have easily taken up larger chunks of the runtime, but the movie methodically moves through them without anything feeling rushed. The movie is brimming with positivity, and I think families that take their kids will be rewarded with great life lessons for them, but the real core of this movie is actually for the parents. This movie deserves just as much love as the products of Disney Animations and Pixar, please go support it and the author whose book it is based off!
- raphfire2012July 10, 2025Love the animation I can’t anything about the story since they didn’t make it but it still a good movie to watch with friends and family
- mehenningerJuly 6, 2025Very sweet and very funny. This may a bit 'violent' for young kids as nature's brutality is on display in the early film. These moments are brief and not overdrawn. The Wild Robot is a widening of the benchmark for animation.
- Ray HopkinDecember 3, 2024There was a lot of dust in the room while watching this, honest... What a brilliant movie, a great adaptation of the book. I can't wait for the sequel...
- VarunOctober 20, 2024Really lovely animated movie. I think after seeing such high ratings and praise and briefly catching a glimpse of the trailer, I went in with the expectation that there would be some really deep themes about nature and humanity and have more realism, so I was a little disappointed on that front when the movie seemed to be aimed more at children, nonetheless this was still an amazing film I enjoyed. The animation is really good and has a serene quality to it. Roz as a robot is a very well developed character and it’s always great when a movie can get you to empathise with it. Fink and Brightbill are also interesting, with a fun cast of side characters. The pacing is also great, getting right into the action from the beginning and never letting your attention get away. Although the themes and story beats are quite simple, they were still depicted in an original way and are often heartwarming, cute and riveting. I wasn’t aware before that this was based on a book, Dreamworks knocked it out of the park with this adaptation and I’m looking forward to the sequel. I always feel lame demanding a more serious tone from a kid’s movie, but I think if they tighten up some of the basic humour and develop more nuanced side characters, then the sequel has the potential to reach GOAT status for me.
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025Didn’t love it like I thought I would but it was a solid family animated adventure. Gorgeously animated throughout, though I really didn’t like the aerial battle near the end, that is captured like a war film, but just has this generic hexagonal biodome like structure in the background. That sequence has a noticeably sterile aesthetic, compared to the lush and wild natural backdrop of the rest of the film. As a parent, the film almost seems geared towards the parent perspective for most of the runtime and tackles some heavier themes. But that kind of made the finale a little less satisfying as everything kind of wraps up with some very rose-colored glasses. Absolutely enjoyable, but I wouldn’t hail it as one of Dreamworks best, as the marketing is proclaiming it is.
- vangh1October 28, 2024A surprisingly deep take on parenthood, identity, bullying, and belonging. Has something to say and is entirely entertaining throughout.
- explodingcigarJune 25, 2025Surprisingly good. Give it 5 minutes and you'll likely stay in your seat happily enjoying the full movie. Highly recommended.

- Manuel FrangisMarch 26, 2025I just watched The Wild Robot and I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. I honestly didn’t know what to expect going in, but this movie really surprised me. It’s beautiful, emotional, and way deeper than you’d think from a story about a robot stranded in the wilderness. It has that perfect balance of quiet, thoughtful storytelling and moments of fun and adventure. It’s definitely one of those movies that sticks with you. The main character is a robot named Roz, and she wakes up alone on a remote island after a shipwreck. No humans, no instructions—just nature. At first, she has no idea what to do, and the animals on the island see her as a threat. But over time, she starts learning how to adapt to the environment, communicate with the animals, and even form bonds with them. Watching her slowly figure out how to survive and connect is what gives the movie its heart. The animation is absolutely stunning. Everything looks soft and hand-painted, with warm colors, gentle movement, and a natural beauty that matches the tone of the story perfectly. It’s not flashy or loud like a lot of animated movies these days—it’s calm, peaceful, and lets you really soak in the atmosphere. The way the seasons change, the animals move, and Roz interacts with the world around her feels almost meditative at times. Roz as a character is really well done. She starts off as this emotionless machine who’s just trying to follow logic and programming. But as the story goes on, you see her evolve in a way that’s totally believable and super touching. She learns to care, to protect, and even to love in her own quiet way. It’s not forced or cheesy—it’s subtle, and it hits you harder because of that. The animals on the island are all given unique personalities, and even though they’re not overly cartoonish, they each bring something fun to the story. There’s humor, tension, and even moments where it gets surprisingly emotional. There’s also a baby goose that Roz ends up raising, and let me just say—that whole arc is one of the best parts of the movie. It adds so much warmth and shows how far Roz comes as a character. The story moves at a slower pace, but it never drags. It’s more about the little moments than big action scenes. It gives you time to breathe and actually care about what’s happening. That said, there are still a few intense scenes, especially later in the movie, and they hit even harder because the movie takes its time building up to them. I give The Wild Robot 4.5 out of 5 stars because it’s such a refreshing, emotional, and beautifully made film. It’s not trying to be loud or flashy—it’s just telling a powerful story about growth, nature, and what it means to connect with others. The only reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is that a couple of moments felt a little rushed near the end, but that’s a small nitpick in an otherwise fantastic movie. Overall The Wild Robot is a quiet masterpiece with stunning visuals, a strong message, and a main character you’ll actually care about by the end. I really loved it, and I’d absolutely watch it again. One of the best animated movies I’ve seen in a while.
- The Gutter MonkeyMarch 22, 2025Watched it on a whim, knowing nothing about it. 2 hours later, I'm weeping, calling it the best movie of 2024.
- joseorellana66June 2, 2025It's perfect heart worming sad deep stunning and makes the celebrities not seem so obviously and the second and third act are some of the best I have ever seen
- DdoughnutMay 17, 2025My 2nd favorite movie of all time. I'm pretty sure everyone understands why I say this
