In the opening scenes of "The Wild Robot," a chirpy metal android with a state-of-the-art processing unit wanders around a forest asking confused animals if it can help them, offering discount codes and stickers for future customers.

"The Wild Robot," in theaters Friday, depicts an emotional tale of human connection in the beautifully animated story of a robot finding family with animals.

A robot accidentally crash lands on an island and becomes friend to the forest's many furry animals in this heartwarming tale of family and community.

As a kid's movie, “The Wild Robot” succeeds. There’s not much to dislike here, only the promise of what could have been if the filmmakers had slowed down and trusted their audience.
