The Wild Robot- Dreamworks Beautiful Spin On What It Means To Be A Parent
Quick Take: I’ve been waiting to catch up to this point. This is on my list of films to rewatch when I have free time. I caught this in the middle of my awards screener blitz, and it is the best thing Dreamworks has done since How To Train Your Dragon. Following the story of a robot created to help humans, who finds herself lost in the wild where there are none, the robot (voiced by lupita Nyong’o) has to adapt to her new surroundings. We see her grow more and more with a unique personality as she ignores her programming, and starts to take care of a gosling left tragically without parents. It is an emotional rollercoaster based on a best selling kids book, and Dreamworks is planning on following up with two sequels (as there are three books). This is the best Animated Feature of 2024, one of the best original scores of 2024, one of the best audio description tracks, and an absolute must-see. I’ve had the opportunity to vote for this a few times so far, and I’ve enjoyed every time. Stunning, and destined to be in my Top 10, and rewatched over and over. For more, on a film I can’t gush enough about, watch the video.
