Netflix just added 'The Wild Robot,' one of 2024's best movies. It's hilarious, heartwarming and occasionally heartbreaking. And it's what you need to watch next.

Peter Brown stripped down his original 'Wild Robot' story for beginning readers, keeping the underlying message about a man-made device that learns how to care for others.

Like Wild Robot, Flow prizes that expressiveness over glinting realism. Unlike The Wild Robot, it doesn’t make concessions to preconceptions of what a family audience can handle.

"The Wild Robot" is based on the 2016 novel of the same name. It stars Lupita Nyong'o as the voice of Roz, a service robot who finds herself marooned on an uninhabited island.
