Imagine a robot that falls from the sky and lands on a cliff with cool, rocky formations. This robot accidentally gets activated by some curious local animals. It’s programmed to be helpful and tries hard to make friends with them, even learning their language. But the animals are just freaked out and think it’s some kind of monster.

Things take a wild turn when an aggressive bear pushes the robot off a cliff, making it crash into a goose nest. Sadly, this accident takes out the whole family, except for one lone egg. When this baby goose hatches, she sees the robot, Rozzum 7134—or “Roz”—as her mom because of that imprinting thing geese do.

Roz isn’t exactly mother of the year material on his own, so he gets tips from Fink, a clever little fox who’s always thinking about food. Roz needs to teach his adopted gosling how to fly before it’s time for all the other geese to migrate south. It’s tricky since her wings are tiny and other geese aren’t thrilled about her being raised by what they see as this monster robot.

And then more robots show up on the island—which is never good news—and things really start heating up.

This story dives into how nature and technology can mix and clash in surprising ways. Plus, there’s an unexpected twist! The animation here strays from your usual CGI style; it’s got this cool look where everything feels sort of dreamy and painting-like with soft edges and rich colors. It’s based on Peter Brown’s illustrated book series about Rozzum 7134—definitely something different in terms of visual storytelling!
So this movie, it’s got this laid-back vibe with super soft colors and drawings that just fit perfectly with its nature-loving fairy tale theme. Think cuddly animals and beautiful landscapes. But don’t get too comfy because it shows nature’s not always sunshine and rainbows. There’s a harsh side, too.

The story follows Roz, a robot who’s on this journey in the wild where animals live together in peace—totally opposite to the messed-up world of humans. In Roz’s world, robots are built to serve but can also fight with dangerous plasma weapons that could turn trees into toast in no time.

Roz’s adventure gets bumpy; imagine being attacked by wild animals like bears—ouch! Surprisingly, it’s the raccoons that give Roz the most grief. But here’s the thing: even when posed with violence or threats, Roz’s programming doesn’t let him hit back. He only wants to help out anyone he meets, searching for purpose as he goes along.

At its core, it’s about an intelligent robot just trying to find meaning amidst chaos, slowly learning empathy along the way – like you want from a good family animated film these days!

You’ll find some heartwarming moments mixed with lots of laughs and spectacular scenes throughout the movie. If there’s any downside? Maybe it didn’t linger enough on those quiet moments that really say so much without saying anything at all—but what can you do?
Rozzum’s design is nothing like Pixar’s little Wall-E. Instead, it looks more like a mix of EVE, that round and white bot, and the robot with extendable arms from Miyazaki’s Castle in the Sky. It even looks more like that when covered in local plants. This movie is a cool return to animation for Chris Sanders, who took a break after his not-so-great live-action gig with The Call of the Wild. You might know him as the co-director of Lilo & Stitch and the first How to Train Your Dragon movie. This time he’s teamed up again with Dean De Blois, who’s producing, and their work shows they still got it! The story is definitely set up for sequels ’cause folks are gonna wanna see Rozzum—the sweet, tough, and motherly character—again for sure.
