I'm just wild about robots...
Oh good, this movie allows me to bitch about something: animals cannot talk to each other! There is not one common tongue that all animals speak that once you decode how to talk with moose, you can then talk to squirrels or foxes, and have them all talk to each other too! It doesn't work like that!
Anyway, this robot lands on some out of the way place and tries to be a robot in a place of animals, when none of them have technological needs. After learning the language, the robot then accidentally commits near genocide and takes on the role of helping a young gosling grow up, with the aid of a fox. You know, as one does. However, where there is robot, there is evil corporation and, I'm sure many people have compared this film to Wall-E, and I'm right there with them.
Lupita Nyong'o has the main voice work, but I can't say I recognise her in this. Pedro Pascal is more notable. And there are a host of other voices to pick out: Bill Nighy, Matt Berry, Mark Hamill...
It's all fine, but I can't say there's anything special here.
