Movies for the weekend, which are available in online cinemas in quality.
The Wild Robot
The plot:A Universal Dynamics cargo ship loses six all-purpose ROZZUM robots during a storm. The robots wash up on an island uninhabited by humans; only one survives the crash and is accidentally activated by the local wildlife. ROZZUM Unit 7134, later nicknamed "Roz," attempts to advertise her services to the animals but only succeeds in terrifying them and injuring herself. Even after spending several days translating the animals' language, she still cannot find anyone who requires her help. She decides to signal to her manufacturers to retrieve her but is struck by lightning and attacked by a horde of raccoons and Thorn, a grizzly bear; while fleeing, she accidentally crushes a goose nest, killing the mother and leaving only a single egg.
After Roz defends the egg from Fink, a hungry fox, it hatches, and the gosling imprints itself onto her and breaks her long-range transponder. Pinktail, a mother opossum, instructs Roz to feed the gosling, teach it to swim, and ensure it can fly before the winter migration. Fink realizes he can benefit from Roz and helps her construct a shelter; as the three begin cohabiting, Roz names the gosling Brightbill.
Once Brightbill grows, Roz and Fink start teaching him to swim; he meets the island's other geese, who mock him for his size and his relationship with the "monster" that killed his family. Angry at having the truth kept from him, Brightbill scorns Roz and leaves. Roz returns to the crash site to learn more about her intended purpose and replaces her transponder with one from another ROZZUM unit. After speaking with Longneck, the elderly leader of the goose flock, she decides not to give up on Brightbill and recruits the falcon Thunderbolt to teach Brightbill how to fly. Brightbill masters flying just as the geese leave for the migration, and he departs with them. Distraught at Brightbill's absence and unsure of her continued purpose, Roz reactivates her transponder but shuts it off as the signal reaches Universal Dynamics headquarters.
