- Excerpt: Writer-director Chris Sanders he creates a narrative that is exceptionally thoughtful, combining stories of a fish-out-of-water with family, friendship and identity… It’s undoubtedly one of the — if not the — best animated movies of the year.

- Wesley Lovell @ Cinema Sight
- Harrison Martin @ Flixfrog
- Excerpt: The Wild Robot is a beautiful emotional work of art. Easily one of Dreamworks Animation’s best features. Lupita Nyong’o’s performance proves why voice acting is Oscar-worthy. Move over Baymax, WALL-E, and the Iron Giant – Roz is MOTHER!
- Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: Add themes on home and family of the nurture rather than nature variety and there’s a lot to love about Roz and company’s emotional evolutions. It’s the blueprint of a civilization born from chaos.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: The film looks gorgeous, presents a tale acceptable for almost all ages, and is not afraid of speaking to core aspects of existence. For a film focused entirely on machines and animals, this movie has a lot of heart and intelligence to match.
- Bev Questad @ itsjustmovies.com
- Excerpt: For me, I give it a good 4. I wanted more from the story concept, but I loved the talking animals, the lush environment and the multiple themes of perseverance, love and unity.
- Christopher Reed @ Film Festival Today
- Excerpt: It’s an enjoyable-enough romp, good for its target audience of animation fans and families. There are lots of jokes to complement the more serious parts, plenty of laughter to assuage the tears.
- [New] | Nuno Reis @ Antestreia [Portuguese]
- Excerpt: É dos melhores filmes do ano e o melhor robô desde WALL·E. Diria mesmo que é o deste geração por questionar de forma brilhante o que faz de nós humanos (num filme sem humanos).
- Sebastian Zavala @ MeGustaElCine.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Using a wonderful animation style, well-developed characters, potent relationships between characters, and themes related to family, motherhood, coexistence and yes, climate change, it manages to entertain us and even make us cry.
