The Wild Robot - Recensioner

...the empathetic instincts of Sanders and his talented artists result in a tearjerker of an ending that may have you bawling.

...the film’s discernible brushstrokes serve as a reminder of the literal hands, the labor, it takes to raise someone, mold them into a survivor, and to carry love with you wherever you go.

...its dazzling, tear-jerking moments put it metallic-shoulder-to-metallic-shoulder with classics like WALL-E and The Iron Giant.

...a triumph of soulful storytelling and breathtaking animation.

With its maturity, humor, and heart, it feels destined for a long legacy, as anyone can enjoy, embrace and empathize with everything it has to say.

...a moving ecological parable.

In this exceedingly charming animation by Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, How To Train Your Dragon), there is not a single human character, yet it pulses with humanity from beginning to end.

The edges of love may be messy, but as The Wild Robot understands and expresses beautifully, we’re all more than our programming.

...a sweet, entertaining movie that parents and children will likely enjoy, and it has more to offer than chattering Minions.

...heartfelt animated adventure is a soaring success.

This visually dazzling, emotionally resonant adventure brings Brown's beloved book about parenthood and found family to life.

...the future's about what we save, not what we build.

Lupita Nyong’o is excellent in this gorgeous animation.

Chris Sanders once described his approach to “The Wild Robot” as “a Monet painting in a Miyazaki forest.” As insane as that may sound, he pulled it off.
