The Wild Robot (2024) is a film that can be perceived as simple. Being an animated film aimed at children, it is normal that we have that feeling of lightness in its narrative. But what lies beneath the surface is much more complex and emotionally challenging. This is how the director and screenwriter Chris Sanders understood it when he learned about Peter Brown’s book of the same name. Since its publication in 2016, the book has not stopped receiving awards and two sequels have followed.
