Sometimes, to survive … we must become more than we were programmed to be.
Get ready for a heart-warming adventure with The Wild Robot, from DreamWorks Animation – the team that brought us the brilliant How to Train Your Dragon series.
When ROZZUM unit 7134 (or Roz for short) is ‘awoken’ by a family of inquisitive beavers, she finds herself stranded on a remote island after a shipwreck.
As the curious and friendly robot begins to explore her new home, she meets an array of wild animals and, from them, slowly learns to adapt to the natural world around her – developing survival skills and building friendships along the way.
However, when her past soon comes knocking, Roz must protect her newfound family and prove that even a robot can have a heart.
A powerful story about the discovery of self, The Wild Robot examines the bridge between technology and nature and what it means to be truly connected to all living things. If that sounds ‘deep’, know this – The Wild Robot will most definitely capture the hearts of those who watch it.
