The Wild Robot  

The new movie The Wild Robot (September 27, 2024) by Peter Brown is a junior fiction about a shipwrecked robot who learns to survive by watching and becoming friends with the animals who live on her island set in an undetermined future. Climate change kicks up violent storms and this story mixes AI with wilderness survival. Even though Roz is a robot and doesn't have emotions, she's thoughtful, observant and programmed to be helpful and kind. With some possibly disturbing scenes with guns, dismemberment of robots, and death in the wild, the movie's also filled with lessons about kindness.
