For over 25 years, DreamWorks has inspired audiences with more than 49 remarkable films, each featuring unique stories and memorable characters.

This year shows us one of the best stories that DreamWorks has released. “The Wild Robot,” which boasts an impressive 98% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of DreamWorks’ most successful films.

Last year, DreamWorks faced some challenges with its movie releases. However, this year, they have truly impressed us with a beautiful new film that showcases their talent and creativity.

The story centers on a robot who takes on the delightful responsibility of caring for a little duckling. As she embraces her new role as a mother, she faces the various challenges of motherhood.

The cast of this movie includes Lupita Nyong’o, Pedro Pascal, Catherine O’Hara, Bill Nighy, Kit Connor, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames. With such a talented ensemble, this film is worth watching.

What stands out to me about this movie is its refreshing originality, showcasing Dreamworks’ ability to be innovative, with stunning animation quality and captivating character design. It transports viewers to a vibrant, colorful world with an engaging experience.

This combination promises an engaging viewing experience.

In the storyline of the movie, everything feels fresh. Although there are scenes that can be a little boring and it may seem as though the movie is full of cliches, the movie has some beautiful scenes that will take you by surprise.

“The Wild Robot” is currently available for rent or purchase on several VOD services (Apple, YouTube, Fandango, Prime Video, Google Play). It will be available on Blu-ray and 4K on Dec. 3.
