DreamWorks Animation’s The Wild Robot Is Equal Parts Beautiful, Emotional, And Darkly Hilarious



I had a strange angle during my Toronto International Film Festival screening of director Chris Sanders’ The Wild Robot. I don’t mean that I brought a particularly special perspective on the movie with me into the theater; I mean I literally had a strange angle viewing the screen. The world premiere of the new DreamWorks Animation release was held at Roy Thomson Hall (typically a concert venue), and I was seated in a balcony off to the left of the stage – meaning that I was looking down and to the side.

It struck me as an odd way to watch a movie as soon as I sat down, and that feeling lingered into the opening minutes after the auditorium lights dimmed. The impact was ultimately short lived. As I watched the story of ROZZUM unit 7134, the titular Wild Robot voiced by Lupita Nyong’o, I was so enraptured that I probably could have watched it upside-down without issue.
