  • [1]FerdinandoLM @FerdinandoLMTMDB review · Jan 1, 2025 · Rated 9/10

    I found myself cleaning my glasses multiple times throughout the movie—not because they were dirty, but because of the overwhelming emotional impact. Truly, this film brought tears to my eyes. Without a doubt, this is one of the finest animated movies in years. DreamWorks has delivered a masterpiece that resonates deeply. It's impossible not to empathize with the story and characters as they unfold so brilliantly on …

  • [4]r96sk @r96skTMDB review · Jul 13, 2025 · Rated 9/10

    'The Wild Robot' is b-e-a-utiful. It all makes for a wholesome 102 minutes, which features not only an endearing story but also fair laughs and mighty heart - it hit me in the feels a fair few times. The animation is splendid, while the music and pacing are good factors too. I did like the moments of relative darkness, in terms of a few jokes and bits that you wouldn't usually see in a flick of this type. As for the …

  • [9]Brent Marchant @Brent_MarchantTMDB review · Oct 9, 2024 · Rated 7/10

    There are times in our lives when nearly all of us exceed the limits of our capabilities (and often quite unexpectedly at that). But that can be a tremendous blessing, especially when we’re confronted by circumstances where such aptitudes are called for. So it is for Roz (Lupita Nyong’o), a robot who inadvertently ends up stranded on a remote island when the vessel transporting her crashes without warning. Roz isn’t …

  • [10]CinemaSerf @Geronimo1967TMDB review · Oct 20, 2024 · Rated 7/10

    "Roz" is pre-programmed to help. Whatever it is that needs doing, it is there to make it happen - even when it is wrecked on an island populated by animals whose main desire in life is to eat each other. At least the arrival of the "monster" manages to galvanise them into one brief moment of hostile unanimity and so when they are not trying to cannibalise it, they are shunning it's efforts to be friends. After …
