    "The Wild Robot", above all else, isn’t just a life story. It’s a love story about community and intimacy, about what can be imitated, but never duplicated. It is the quintessential fable.

  • 1. Game Reactor
    9 / 10

    Translated from swedish: There is a balance in the storytelling in this film that many animated family films today often lack, an originality in the characters that is easy to like, and it never gets too sentimental or contrived when the emotional expressions take their place on screen.
    - Petter Hegevall

    Translated from swedish: A warm and genuinely touching film - which is also peppered with slapstick, adventure, and unexpectedly dark humor about both parenthood and death.

    Translated from swedish: Towards the end, the story grows into something more than a cozy family adventure about community and identity seeking, when a new dimension of action and suspense is added.

  • 8. Borås Tidning
    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It is always very clear when an overproduced production is not just a soulless product but actually means something to those who made it. "The Wild Robot" is such a film, skillfully programmed with a big beating heart.

    8 / 10

    Translated from swedish: The film deserves not only to win the best animated film, but it also deserves to be nominated for the best film at next year's Oscars. I think it's so good and it deserves to be loved by all ages.

  • 10. Kulturbloggen
    6 / 10

    Translated from swedish: It is a fine and beautiful animation, however with a very high tempo - and it feels like it is made for a modern audience with a short attention span. There are many chases back and forth with few calm moments and pauses where neither robots, animals nor the audience can catch their breath.
    - Linou Gertz
