‘The Wild Robot’ review: Machine adventure is the best family film of the year

How To Train Your Dragon” and “Kung Fu Panda.”Around the time “Dragon” was released in 2010, I began preferring DreamWorks to the critically worshipped Pixar and its yappy Ivy League blobs.Like that cold-blooded-but-heartwarming adventure about a one-winged fire-breather, “Robot” doesn’t set out to be the class know-it-all that back-pats adults with puns and overly clever “a-ha!”s.Instead, writer-director Chris Sanders (of, you guessed it, “Dragon”) goes right for his character’s souls — and ours.Roz is a futuristic robo-assistant, like an Alexa or Siri, who can walk, assimilate and help around the house. However, she’s not of much use when her shipping package washes ashore on a faraway island inhabited only by animals.The android is nibbled, scratched, chased, attacked and rained on.

‘The Wild Robot’ Review: It’s No ‘Iron Giant,’ Though DreamWorks’ Tale of a Wayward Droid Is a Keeper

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic A gorgeous computer-generated cartoon with a human heart beating beneath its sleek, state-of-the-art surface, DreamWorks Animation’s “The Wild Robot” arrives at a time when the public seems more concerned than ever about being outsmarted by artificial intelligence. It’s somewhat ironic then that the movie, a lovely chosen-family fable adapted from the first book in Peter Brown’s open-ended series, features no human characters of consequence.

‘The Wild Robot’ Review: Stunning Animation And A Story With Wit, Excitement And Soul Make This Gorgeous Film One From The Heart — Toronto Film Festival

Spawned from the New York Times No. 1 bestseller by Peter Brown that managed to speak to multiple generations, not just kids, DreamWorks Animation’s The Wild Robot proves to be a real gem in the genre that likely will become a classic, and no doubt bring sequels just as Brown’s book is now a literary series. With beautiful animation, a smart script that has equal humor, action, heart and lessons to be learned for any age, this movie transcends the boundaries of just animation and will enchant audiences. If Spielberg’s E.T. had been an animated film instead, it might resemble what writer/director Chris Sanders (How To Train Your Dragon, The Croods, Lilo & Stitch) has created here. However, The Wild Robot weaves its own magic and for that we can all cry tears of joy.
