Our take
The Wild Robot is a family animation about a shipwrecked robot who learns to live among island animals and care for an orphaned gosling. Younger kids may find predator chases, storms, and a parent animal dying upsetting. Best for children who can handle some tension in a warm story
Uplifting themes
Empathy, found family, and learning to belong are the heart of the story Roz keeps trying to protect the gosling and the island even when others fear her Kids get a gentle look at animal habitats, migration, and working together to survive
Story (may spoil tone)
After a shipwreck, an intelligent robot called Roz is stranded on an uninhabited island. To survive the harsh environment, Roz bonds with the island's animals and cares for an orphaned baby goose.

Talk after watching
- Roz learns to care for others after crashing on the island. What does kindness look like when you are new?
- Animals fear what they do not understand. How do first impressions change?
