"A visual stunner with an A+ voice performance from Lupita Nyong’o... It's an all-around beautiful story about adapting and found families, one powered by an infectious celebration of life."

"One could watch The Wild Robot with the sound off entirely and still have a rewarding experience—turn it on and you have one of the best animated films of the decade."

Variety
"There’s never been an animated movie that reflects the world in quite this way. While the animals are somewhat disappointingly designed, the expressionistic environments can take one’s breath away."
IndieWire
"That it looks so gorgeous and homespun adds to its appeal, a warm little gem of a film that’s both a throwback and a push forward. Too early to ask for two more?"
Based on Peter Brown's children's book of the same name, the film's cast is completed by Bill Nighy, Mark Hamill, Catherine O'Hara, Kit Connor, Matt Berry, Stephanie Hsu, and Ving Rhames.
The Wild Robot will be released in UK cinemas on October 18, and US cinemas on September 27.
