So this robot, who falls from the sky onto a cliff made of cool basalt columns, is accidentally switched on by some locals—except these locals are actually animals. This robot’s whole deal is to serve and help, so it starts trying to befriend the animals and even learns their language. But, surprise surprise, they all think it’s kind of a monster.

Things get wild when an angry bear pushes this robo-pal off a cliff. In the chaos, the robot accidentally destroys a goose family’s nest but saves one lucky egg. When that baby goose hatches, it thinks the robot is its mom because of something called imprinting (think “first face you see is mom”).

Our metallic hero Roz, as it’s called, gets parenting advice from Fink, this quirky fox who always seems hungry for donuts or something. Roz has to teach the little goose how to fly before migration season hits—a total mission since the gosling has tiny wings and other geese aren’t exactly fans of having a “monster” around.

But just when you think things can’t get more complicated—bam! More robots show up on this island.

This story mashes nature with tech in ways that’ll catch your heart by surprise—and watch out for an artsy plot twist plus some stunning visuals that don’t look like typical animation. Think Impressionist art: soft blurs and overlapping colors like living paintings instead of slick CGI everything. Fans of unique styles are gonna find themselves impressed (pun intended)!
Alright, so this movie’s got a totally different vibe from that flashy Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse style. Instead of bumping with hip hop energy, it’s all gentle and wrapped up in nature vibes—super fitting for its kind of environmental fairy tale theme.

The story doesn’t shy away from showing how harsh Mother Nature can be with her brutal rules. But here comes Roz—the robot who finds a way to make animals live in harmony, which is a total dream world. Meanwhile, humans have dived into this dystopian mess. They’ve got robots around, supposedly to help out but also fight each other with plasma guns that could start forest fires if they’re not careful.

Throughout the movie, Roz has some pretty wild run-ins with animals—even gets attacked by bears and raccoons! But no matter what comes at him, Roz sticks to his programming: he can’t hurt anything and just wants to help however he can. Basically, Roz is like a smart robot looking for purpose—even though at first rejections don’t bother him much—and through the adventure develops empathy that you’d expect in a family-friendly animated flick.

There are loads of memorable bits—heartwarming moments, funny parts, epic scenes—you name it! If there’s one downside to the film, maybe it could have dialed down the noise sometimes and given us more quiet moments.
Wall-E might come to mind, but Rozzum’s got its own look. It’s like a combo of EVE from Wall-E (all sleek and white) and that extendable-arm robot from Miyazaki’s Castle in the Sky. When it gets a bit covered by nature, it looks even more like Miyazaki’s metal giant.

This movie’s also Chris Sanders’ return to animation after he strayed off with The Call of the Wild. If you remember Lilo & Stitch or How to Train Your Dragon, you’ll know Sanders’ stuff is usually spot-on. Partnered up with producer Dean De Blois, he’s crafted something that people are going to love—no doubt in my mind they’re setting this up for sequels. Folks are bound to get attached to Rozzum; she’s sweet, tough, and has this motherly vibe that’ll surely bring audiences back for more adventures!
