Where to Watch The Wild Robot
- Ray HopkinDecember 3, 2024There was a lot of dust in the room while watching this, honest... What a brilliant movie, a great adaptation of the book. I can't wait for the sequel...
- VarunOctober 20, 2024Really lovely animated movie. I think after seeing such high ratings and praise and briefly catching a glimpse of the trailer, I went in with the expectation that there would be some really deep themes about nature and humanity and have more realism, so I was a little disappointed on that front when the movie seemed to be aimed more at children, nonetheless this was still an amazing film I enjoyed. The animation is really good and has a serene quality to it. Roz as a robot is a very well developed character and it’s always great when a movie can get you to empathise with it. Fink and Brightbill are also interesting, with a fun cast of side characters. The pacing is also great, getting right into the action from the beginning and never letting your attention get away. Although the themes and story beats are quite simple, they were still depicted in an original way and are often heartwarming, cute and riveting. I wasn’t aware before that this was based on a book, Dreamworks knocked it out of the park with this adaptation and I’m looking forward to the sequel. I always feel lame demanding a more serious tone from a kid’s movie, but I think if they tighten up some of the basic humour and develop more nuanced side characters, then the sequel has the potential to reach GOAT status for me.

- Manuel FrangisMarch 26, 2025I just watched The Wild Robot and I give it 4.5 out of 5 stars. I honestly didn’t know what to expect going in, but this movie really surprised me. It’s beautiful, emotional, and way deeper than you’d think from a story about a robot stranded in the wilderness. It has that perfect balance of quiet, thoughtful storytelling and moments of fun and adventure. It’s definitely one of those movies that sticks with you. The main character is a robot named Roz, and she wakes up alone on a remote island after a shipwreck. No humans, no instructions—just nature. At first, she has no idea what to do, and the animals on the island see her as a threat. But over time, she starts learning how to adapt to the environment, communicate with the animals, and even form bonds with them. Watching her slowly figure out how to survive and connect is what gives the movie its heart. The animation is absolutely stunning. Everything looks soft and hand-painted, with warm colors, gentle movement, and a natural beauty that matches the tone of the story perfectly. It’s not flashy or loud like a lot of animated movies these days—it’s calm, peaceful, and lets you really soak in the atmosphere. The way the seasons change, the animals move, and Roz interacts with the world around her feels almost meditative at times. Roz as a character is really well done. She starts off as this emotionless machine who’s just trying to follow logic and programming. But as the story goes on, you see her evolve in a way that’s totally believable and super touching. She learns to care, to protect, and even to love in her own quiet way. It’s not forced or cheesy—it’s subtle, and it hits you harder because of that. The animals on the island are all given unique personalities, and even though they’re not overly cartoonish, they each bring something fun to the story. There’s humor, tension, and even moments where it gets surprisingly emotional. There’s also a baby goose that Roz ends up raising, and let me just say—that whole arc is one of the best parts of the movie. It adds so much warmth and shows how far Roz comes as a character. The story moves at a slower pace, but it never drags. It’s more about the little moments than big action scenes. It gives you time to breathe and actually care about what’s happening. That said, there are still a few intense scenes, especially later in the movie, and they hit even harder because the movie takes its time building up to them. I give The Wild Robot 4.5 out of 5 stars because it’s such a refreshing, emotional, and beautifully made film. It’s not trying to be loud or flashy—it’s just telling a powerful story about growth, nature, and what it means to connect with others. The only reason I didn’t give it a full five stars is that a couple of moments felt a little rushed near the end, but that’s a small nitpick in an otherwise fantastic movie. Overall The Wild Robot is a quiet masterpiece with stunning visuals, a strong message, and a main character you’ll actually care about by the end. I really loved it, and I’d absolutely watch it again. One of the best animated movies I’ve seen in a while.

- The Gutter MonkeyMarch 22, 2025Watched it on a whim, knowing nothing about it. 2 hours later, I'm weeping, calling it the best movie of 2024.
- joseorellana66June 2, 2025It's perfect heart worming sad deep stunning and makes the celebrities not seem so obviously and the second and third act are some of the best I have ever seen
- Adrian VaduvaMay 15, 2025Lovely movie for all ages!
- Lewis SandersonAugust 23, 2026Looks gorgeous, has a fantastic cast, is genuinely funny and made me cry like a little girl. Easily the best DreamWorks movie I’ve seen.
- diego.574April 6, 2025So, if all animals get along then they will starve to death... Kidding, It's a good familiar movie and stuff, sweet and it has a good message, but, it's exaggeratedly optimistic, I don't mean that's bad, but, life is not this way, keep in mind the negative world, it's complementary and mentally healthy. Things don't always end well and we must tolerate and embrace that.
- raphfire2012July 10, 2025Love the animation I can’t anything about the story since they didn’t make it but it still a good movie to watch with friends and family
- Ryan BrenizerApril 19, 2025Love a good heartwarming robot movie.
- Silverhand5278March 10, 2025beautifull animation. The last all in house dreamworks animation from now on. it ended on a high note
- PrestonAugust 5, 2026I would consider this to be Dreamwork's version of Wall-E. Genuinely underrated as not a lot people are watching this and it's a shame cause this is like Dreamwork's top 10 movies.
