The one thing that is becoming patently clear with the passing of every day is that AI will end mankind, and probably sooner than we think.

This means that we should, in theory, be more cautious with our interactions with everything from the ‘helpful’ digital assistants such as Alexa and Siri, to our microwaves and toasters.

Perhaps the only thing that could soften our opinion would be films such as this, which feature an adorable and harmless robot.

Landing unexpectedly on an island is ROZZUM 7134, AKA Roz (Lupita Nyong’o). Her protocol is a simple one – to aid others. But unfortunately for her, the locals, the wildlife of the island, are terrified of her.

On one of her trips she inadvertently destroys a nest of eggs, all bar one. She keeps it safe, only, to her surprise, have it hatch. Inside is a baby gosling, without a mother. Although not sure what to do with it, her programme to assist kicks in, making her priority to look after the gosling.

But as she soon discovers, looking after a baby on a wild island isn’t the easiest task to complete.

This film marks a milestone for DreamWorks, as it’s the last animated production that they made in-house. It’s a shame as they’ve showed a great deal of talent over the years, helming franchises like Shrek, Kung Fu Panda and Trolls. And this one was is no different.

Based on Peter Brown’s 2016 book of the same name, it is a film that attempts a myriad of themes, but mainly how difficult parenting is.

The overall narrative is a little on the trite side, with faint echoes of Wall-E with a robot learning to adapt in its new surroundings, but the film impresses with a number of warm characters as well as some stunning animation.

Visually it’s easily on par with a Pixar film, with some beautiful landscapes, as well as delightful depictions of wildlife. The colours are vibrant, with a water colour palette that’s quite striking.

The voice acting is charming, especially from the British contingency of Bill Nighy and Matt Berry, and Nyong’o also doing superb with the transition her robotic character goes through.

It’s certainly a fitting end for DreamWorks, who will be outsourcing from now on, going out in style with a gloriously cute tale that is wildly entertaining.
