The Wild Robot: Following a shipwreck, an oceanic robot called Roz winds up on a deserted island. In order to survive the inhospitable nature of the island planet, Roz befriends the native animals and nursed a young gosling that had lost its mother.

When Was I Ever Gonna Give Up? The feeling of being shipwrecked is brought down by the fact that they aren’t alone against the hostile nature, rather they’re on the deserted island from Disney’s “Robinson Crusoe,” containing robots. She works there as the ROZZUM unit 7134 repeatedly goes around asking: ‘Is there anyone who needs help? Is there anyone who has something that needs to be done’ voicelessly.

None of them are surprised at what the robot does to them and have funny ways of escaping or simply not coming into contact with, but there is also a deep hollow underneath that pursuit of their ways. Hell, immersed in sadness and a rapid-fire drift of jokes, owing to the scale what accompanies this tussle if it may be labeled as so.

The film is the work of Chris Sanders, co-director of “How to Train Your Dragon” and is based on the book of the same name by Peter Brown. The Wild Robot takes place in an ecotone and uses that dynamic to tell a very visually appealing and extremely touching story about parenting, acceptance, belonging, being together, being different and being kind, all wrapped inside some very cleverly executed comedy aimed primarily at children.

Personally, when an animated feature wins an award, more often than not, it is because it has something for both children and adults; this film is successful in residual duality for most of the time, such that the scenes and the jokes begin to have multiple layers of meaning.

After uploading a knowledge base meant to interpret the animals’ utterances to the robot and, quite frankly, about the robot itself, rOZZuM unit 7134 has not fared any better in trying to connect with the rest of the species but does unwittingly chance upon a baby gosling voiced by Kit Connor thus inviting three additional tasks which make the robot a mother.

Not only does chronicling parenthood along the lines of a high-stress anxiety ‘to-do list’ span most middle-class american mothers’ heads now there is also a sense of asserting her right to ‘program’ parenting, but it also provides quite a children’s version of how robots go from being ‘cold and calculating’ to ‘caring’ for a child. Thus, the short form of the robot is Roz.

Having been designed and programmed to carry out chores so that the caretakers can relax, Roz completely lacks the knowledge on how to train a baby gosling to eat, swim, or even fly preparing itself ready for a migratory journey except for quite nice chance of making a new friend – a cunning fox, his name is Fink (Pedro Pascal again) disappointed in his intention to devour little gosling, as if predicting that this lonely and deserted animal could have two friends in him.

In their attempt however they turn out to be over the board and take the co-parenting status by delivering the lessons in their own individual ways; Roz becomes robotic and slow in emotions, bringing human touch as time goes by while Fink has this historical ‘hard love’ connection which is funny but cynical built in his childhood of abuses.

None of the lecturing comes easy since the baby gosling, eventually named Brightbill during a silly and sweet sequence where Fink explains to Roz what makes a name come alive, was and remains the smallest of the brood, and the last of his kin. It implies that other mammals, like geese, also pick on him for being handicapped and unfit.

Again, throughout the admittedly humorous banter between these creatures, no one is liked by the other, which Roz hopes to remedy with quite some compassion and some persuasion to Brightbill to do the same even when faced by angry mean bullying from people like Roz.

At this point, The Wild Robot also achieves an objective that the reader assumes will be obtained by the third act. However, this is no ordinary film, showing no interest in classical narrative patterns and ready to plunge into horrifying realities that hardly do any good in keeping this ad hoc family intact.

No sooner even have three tasks been accomplished that Roz is rendered pondering on her selfhood, and where in the world she fits. This tale is also full of concepts that do not only travel fast. it also seeks to enhance the drama and comedy of each segment by quick absorbing powerful lessons in a sentence or so tucked within short acts.

At a certain point (and it’s not long into the film), The Wild Robot starts to feel like more than just any animation picture but an exceptional visual and auditory picture which emanates warmth, comedy, and a heart-wrenching sadness. And here the adorable cartoon about the robot is painted with such a degree of color juice that even the migration sequence, enhanced by provoking sounds of Kris Bowers’ music, is breathtaking.

Sure, in classical terms, animated works don’t possess cinematography, but they do have animators who figure out how a shot will be taken, from what angle, which colors to use, and so forth and each artistic choice made in this motion picture is astoundingly beautiful.

It’s a film so beautifully and spectacularly imagined and realised that it employs various forms of animation that it is almost understandable why some fans will fume sometimes causing one to lose dialogue because of the film’s captivating world.

While the film abounds with wildness structurally, Chris Sanders is good at mastering and utilising particular points and motifs for the pleasing and appropriate end. Undoubtedly, these motifs are commonplace, however, the telling of the narrative in question is done innovatively and with a variety of voice talents, many of whom do so and with wonder too because of the reason that many award prosti whores as if that’s not what most of these repulsive speech ‘artists’ do.

Sweepingly and very effectively, Lupita Nyong’o is performing the different feelings and giving Roz a character with aspirations, fears, growing ideas of affection and philosophical thoughts. Here, every line delivery always reminds viewers how and why she is cardinally an Oscar-winning talent at the moment, and what talent that is. That’s not to say Kit Connor and Pedro Pascal don’t have their moments, where you see performance, character, and depth, where the pain is evident; they are also very good at it too.

An analysis of the story at the basic level it is easy to understand why the Wild Robot published in 2016 gained rapid popularity among the young and grown-ups as well. However this is not merely a good adaptation; this is addressed to the quality of the presentation of the book and some more.

For it every image has the overdose of loveliness, and every episode, even the most comical, is brimming over with feelings. Granted, it comes from a book, but it is also brave, untamed, creative filmmaking that can only come from artists.
