What is the most primitive motive of any being on Earth? What drives a mother bird to push her child out of the nest? Survival. A fascinating study in itself, the need for survival has taught animals of all kinds and humans to adapt to the most gruelling forces of nature and the reality of existence.

Family audiences rejoice! It's time to party with "The Wild Robot," now in theaters nationwide and aglow with that special magic that only comes for a new animated classic that is spectacular in every sense of the word. You'll be hooked from first scene to last.

Based on its namesake novel by Peter Brown, The Wild Robot is akin to breathing in the pure, unadulterated air of the wild. While not everyone might appreciate the wilderness and all that comes with it, just the ability to connect on a deeper level and enjoy the simpler things of life can leave a huge impact on us.

While it’s still in theaters, as tends to happen with most releases these days, The Wild Robot has also now made it to home streaming for either purchase or rental. Albeit either option is pretty expensive.

Alien: Romulus, The Wild Robot, Woman of the Hour, Never Let Go, Brothers and more new movies are available to watch at home.

Set in 1957, “The Iron Giant” is an anti-war parable that’s also a beautiful story about two outcasts becoming friends. Made with a mix of traditional and computer animation, it has a timeless look that fits with its retro story, and Bird demonstrates some of the boundless imagination he’d later bring to the “Incredibles” movies.

Dear friends and readers, let it never be said that counterprogramming doesn’t work at the box office. You can thank the recent wave of 2024 movies for proving that point, as two unlikely bedfellows may may now be linked from a business standpoint.

The Wild Robot is a warm-hearted adaptation of Peter Brown’s much-beloved book of the same name. It's a tale about parenthood, kindness and compassion.
