Shipwrecked on a forested island, a robot learns to talk to the
animals. Although Dreamworks's THE WILD ROBOT, on Netflix, was
well-received by critics and audiences, it didn't quite rise above my
cloy threshold. (It's no IRON GIANT.)� However, it's been a while since

It was okay, but not great. The storyline was simply too 'blah' to be
particularly interesting.

Being based on a kids' book probably allowed little story leeway.

When has Hollyweird EVER stuck to the original material? :-p
