The Wild Robot review

Based on a series of books, this movie manages to stand on its own not just as an adaptation but as an independent work of art. It is seriously one of the best Dreamworks movies released.

The animation is astounding, being a painted CGI style not too similar to that of The Last Wish, standing on its own artistically. The animation of birds flying is particularly commendable.

The soundtrack is uplifting and fantasy-oriented despiste the movie’s mostly sci-fi leanings. If I have a complaint is that a particular rift gets a bit too repetitive, but it never manages to be annoying or anything.

The characters are beyond solid. It’s refreshing to see a mother as a main character since they are so rare in animated movies, even if said mother is a robot. The themes of nature vs nurture extend beyond Roz, including also the animals and their natural instincts.

A titanic recommendation.
