Every year around Advent, Catholics are reminded of the story of the Nativity of Our Lord. Actually, for those keeping score, there are two stories of this in the Bible, which are often amalgamated in the Christian imagination. The Gospel of Luke presents the notion that the birth of Jesus itself took place in a stable, as he was “laid in a manger” (2:7), or what we would call today an animal feedbox. Matthew’s presentation climaxes in a house, probably sometime after the birth of Christ.

On that island the animals fight, they eat one another, and, yet, they all rely on each other.

Enchantment is so often missing from entertainment nowadays. Sometimes we don’t want a heavy message, or a deep, important story. Sometimes we just want wonder and awe. The Wild Robot absolutely fits that bill, with just enough message to give everything some bite. When a robot named Roz is shipwrecked on an island inhabited only by assorted animals, it all seems very strange at first. For everyone. The animals think Roz is a monster. Taking Up More Room is a reader-supported publication.

PG Running Time: 101 mins SHOULD I SEE IT? Hands down, probably the best animated film released thus far in 2024. Certainly one of the best films of the year. Beautifully made and told, The Wild Robot brings a beloved children’s novel to life in an unforgettable film. Those who love Peter Brown’s book are going to find this a fantastic cinematic adaptation. One criticism I have seen regarding the film is a complaint that the film is largely predictable and lacks energy.
