The Wild Robot

*“Sometimes to survive. We must become more than we were programmed to be” * Anything can be a queer allegory if you try hard enough… In all seriousness, not only was this movie visually stunning and punctuated with a heartbreaking soundtrack and score. It is also a devastatingly incredible story that handles heavy issues with ease.  The struggle between nature and nurture, the pain of growing up, being “other”, the importance of community and the concept of family.  An instant favourite
