The Wild Robot could end up taking the top spot
Future reviews could push it beyond its current 98%
The Wild Robot
Its 98% rating lands it perfectly in 2nd place in Dreamworks' lineup.
So far, The Wild Robot critical reviews put it in a tight race with How to Train Your Dragon at an impressive 98%. Following the adventures of a robot called ROZZUM unit 7134, aka Roz, after being shipwrecked on a deserted island, we see how this cold machine eventually warms and becomes a family with the natural life on the island. More specifically, it takes on the role of adoptive parent to a baby goose. Packed with themes of nature, found families, individuality, and identity, Dreamworks has once again crafted a delightful adventure without sacrificing a strong message that will resonate with kids as well as adults.
However, many more reviews are expected to roll in for The Wild Robot that could push it in either direction. Its 98% rating lands it perfectly in 2nd place in Dreamworks' lineup, just below How to Train Your Dragon and one percentage point above Chicken Run’s 97%. Just a slight nudge in either direction could make big shifts in its placement, but it will no doubt stick among the top-rated movies.
