The Wild Robot Review:A beautiful animated film about a robot who reprograms herself to love seems perfectly timed for our current era of uncertainty around generative AI. Lupita Nyong’o turns in a stunning voice performance as ROZZUM 7134, or Roz, in this adaptation of the beloved book series by Peter Brown.
When Roz crash-lands on an uninhabited island, her task-oriented people-pleasing programming leaves her with no one to serve. Undeterred, she tries to find ways to be helpful to the many animals and wildlife that thrive on the island. Soon, she finds herself taking care of a gosling Brightbill, whose family she accidentally killed, and makes it her task to help him grow and learn to fly south for the winter.
The Wild Robot is a perfect parable for the unique task that is parenthood (specifically motherhood). Early on when Roz remarks that she doesn’t have the programming to be a mother, a possum responds with “No one does, we just make it up”.
Roz’s new role as a mother runs the gamut of inexperienced mistakes, smothering, rejection, the inability to let go, and finally empty nesting - all-too-familiar experiences for any parent.
The movie is just as fun for kids, as Roz learns to navigate the forest by observing and mimicking the animals who live there. As time goes by, Roz forges her own found family bringing to life the adage - it takes a village to raise a child. She’s aided by a sly fox Fink (a charming Pedro Pascal) and Pinktail, the aforementioned possum (the always-great Catherine O’Hara), among others.
Visually the movie is stunning, the colors are vibrant and help showcase the diversity of wildlife on the island. The animation style is part photorealism and part impressionism depending on the storytelling needs of the scene. Dreamworks Animation has finally evolved a house style distinct from Pixar, coming a long way since the early days of the cheaply derivative Shark Tale. Though one wishes that they had taken advantage of the medium to get a little more creative with the design of Roz herself, who ends up looking like a cross between Star Wars’ BB-8 and Big Hero Six’s Baymax.
