Carolyn Giardina One of the surprises of the awards season is Gints Zilbalodis’ “Flow” — the dialog-free tale of a solitary cat’s emotional journey as it learns to survive after a great flood — which upended the feature animation race when it won the Golden Globe. Combined with honors such as the Los Angeles Film Critics prize in animation, Latvia’s “Flow” went on to receive a pair of Oscar nods, including best international feature and animated feature — underscoring the message that animation is film, and not just for kids.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Filmmaker Chris Sanders was visiting DreamWorks Animation to see what was in development, when he came across Peter Brown’s novel “The Wild Robot.“ The first few sentences of Brown’s story inspired Sanders so much so that he anxiously told the studio, “Don’t give this to anybody else.” “This is the kind of story that I really like. I like stories that have their strengths in fragile places, and that’s what this had,” Sanders says. “It’s a lot about life, and there’s no real heroes or villains in the story.

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.

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.

There, the city robot meets and learns from the animals in her new environment. In this rich world, a fox meets and advises Roz.
