Our take on The Wild Robot

Chris Sanders's 2024 animated gem strands an intelligent robot, Roz, on a wild island, where she learns to survive by bonding with the animals and raising an orphaned gosling. Painterly, tender and quietly profound about nature and nurture, it's modern animation at its most beautiful. If its warmth and visual splendour moved you, seek out heartfelt animated adventures — like WALL·E — about machines, kindness and what it means to belong.
