This weekend we were invited by Dreamworks Animation and Universal Pictures to a special event to see the movie The Wild Robot. We love visiting the Dreamworks campus. It is so beautiful and inspiring. We got to take photos with a giant Roz made out of balloons, and we met Peter Brown, the author of The Wild Robot. He signed copies of his book for us. We saw the movie and there was not a dry eye in the theater. The film is beautifully animated, it is heartwarming and the film's message is about stepping out of your comfort zone, being kind, brave, showing compassion for others and how a mother's love is unconditional. This movie is a must see. After the movie there was music, food, sweet treats, crafts and more. It was so much fun. Thank you Dreamworks Animation and Universal Pictures for having us. Watch The Wild Robot in theaters September 27. See all the fun we had here.
I love The Wild Robot. It is beautifully animated, heartwarming and has powerful messages about stepping out of your comfort zone, being brave, kind, and showing compassion for others.
From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation, Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot. The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot named Roz, that is shipwrecked on an island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.
This movie is amazing. I really love that it explores the importance of self discovery, the bridge between technology and nature and the question of what it means to be alive and connected to all living things. The film has the most beautiful animation I have ever seen. The colors of the island and forest look so realistic and I like the way the animals talk. I appreciate the scene when Roz is teaching the orphaned gosling how to fly. The music goes so well with this particular scene and clearly emphasizes the idea of learning how to soar on your own and doing things you did not think were possible. The Wild Robot stars Lupita Nyong'o as Roz the robot. It’s remarkable how she is able to change her voice to sound like a robot, but with feeling and so much emotion. Pedro Pascal voices Fink the fox and he is devious and incredibly loving. Catherine O’ Hara voices an opossum, Pinktail and she mothers with a sense of humor. Kit Connor voices BrightBill, the gosling who is adorable and so funny.
The Wild Robot is full of comedy, heart, bravery and incredible animation. It is a heartwarming movie with powerful messages about trying new things, showing compassion for others and how a mother’s love is unconditional. I give The Wild Robot 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 5 to 18, plus adults. This film has something for everyone. It made me leave the theater with a smile on my face and wanting to see it again immediately. You can watch The Wild Robot in theaters September 27, 2024.
