A still from the animated DreamWorks film The Wild Robot
Writer-director Chris Sanders is nothing if not an expert at pairing a loveable outcast with a weird, lonely animal.
While fending off ravenous wildlife and trying to find her purpose, Roz encounters an egg, which soon becomes an adorable gosling runt. As she takes on the task of raising the young Brightbill with the help of the sardonic fox, Fink , Roz sheds her stoic robot sensibilities and embraces all that the wild has to offer, learning that motherhood might be her most challenging and rewarding mission of all.
When Brightbill goes from a precious baby gosling to an awkward adolescent, we briefly miss the innocence of his young counterpart, but Kit Connor quickly proves that a gangly teenage goose is just as charming as a tiny fuzzy one. Putting on a remarkably convincing American accent in his performance as a goose raised by a robot, Connor holds his own in a cast of seasoned stars.
Coupled with the visuals, an original score by Kris Bowers is one of The Wild Robot’s greatest assets. Scenes of geese soaring over stunning landscapes are punctuated by his grand, sweeping music, and soft, tender moments are similarly aided by his evocative musical touch. The score becomes another character in this film, and just as Roz helps Billbright to find his wings, Bowers elevates an already-great film to new heights.
