Director Chris Sanders knows a thing or two about animation. After all, he is responsible for writing and directing the classics 'Lilo and Stitch' and 'How to Train Your Dragon.' His latest work, 'The Wild Robot,' based on a beloved series by Peter Brown is wonderfully animated, surprisingly meaningful and moving and just might make you shed a tear or two.

The animation style of the film looks like painted art in vivid brushstrokes come to life. The child in me is most fond of forest animals and here I got my fill of otters, deer, raccoons, bears, possums, beavers, lynxes, moose, porcupines, squirrels, skunks and so much more.
