The Wild Robot : A Movie for all ages

By Joanna J - Macaroni Kid Downey Publisher October 9, 2024

One of the things my family and I do for fun is watching a Movie on Tuesdays ($7 movies). We recently watched The Wild Robot at Cinemark Downey and it turned out to be an amazing movie night. We didn’t know much about the story beforehand, but we were instantly drawn in by the visuals and the heartfelt journey of Roz, a robot stranded on an island. The movie was both exciting and emotional, making it perfect for families.


The film follows Roz, who finds herself on a remote island filled with animals. At first, she doesn’t fit in, but slowly, she learns how to survive in the wild. One of the sweetest parts of the movie is when Roz adopts an orphaned baby goose named Brightbill. Watching her learn how to be a mother, even though she’s a robot, really touched us all.


Our kids loved seeing Brightbill grow from a tiny gosling into a confident bird. They were really engaged with the funny, sweet, and sometimes sad moments in the film. I also connected with the movie on a deeper level—Roz’s journey reminded us of the challenges we face as parents, learning along the way and always trying our best.


The animation in the Wild Robot was stunning. The island looked so real, and the animals were so full of life. The music also added a lot to the mood, making us feel more connected to Roz and her journey.


Final Thoughts

Overall, The Wild Robot was a great movie for the whole family. It’s about adventure, love, and finding your place, no matter where you are. If you’re looking for a film that’s fun for kids and meaningful for adults, this one is definitely worth a watch! After watching, we felt a little closer as a family, and we’re excited to share more movie nights together in the future.
