The Wild Robot 2024 USA 101 min 8+

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.

The film is the animated adaptation of Peter Brown's award-winning book about a shipwrecked robot, ROZZUM, aka Roz, who powers up on an island ready to do her new owners' tasks. She learns to communicate with the animals on the island—who initially consider her a monster—and adopts a baby gosling she names Brightbill after accidentally destroying his mother's nest. With the help of a scrappy fox, Fink, Roz makes caring for Brightbill (feeding him, teaching him to swim, and preparing him to make his first migration) her primary purpose. But being a mother is much more difficult than anything Roz's programming has prepared her for.
