This is an excellent movie about motherly love; even if you are a robot. Roz (Lupita Nyong'o) is a robot that somehow is misdelivered to an island with no human inhabitants. She seeks her mission, and finally finds it with being the mother to a gosling, Brightbill (Kit connor). The other animals are wary of Roz, and anything she deals with as they are weird. Roz however befriends a fox, Fink (Pedro Pascal). He gives her instruction on how to raise a gosling. Of course the hard parts are how to teach the goosling to swim and to fly. Brightbill makes it on the annual migration. Roz should return home to the factory, her mission complete. However she wants to stay and make sure her gosling makes it back safe.
During this time there is a crisis in the forest with exceptional cold. Roz brings all the animals into her home she she keeps a nice fire. They fight and argue, but eventually learn to get along.
The day the geese return, Brightbill amongst them, the robot factory finally discover Roz, and they want her back to harvest her memories. She has rewritten her own programming. These leads to a large battle between the robot recovery team and the animals. She finally agrees to go back, so as to save all the animals.
Mark Hamill has a role as the bear who helps the animals live together in peace.
I like the relationships in this movie. Animals who are traditional enemies learn to get along. And a robot learns love, as does a gosling.
