Now, onto my hot cake… Oops, I mean take.
Hot Take:
Remember when Tom Hanks was stranded on that island with only a volleyball named Wilson for company? Well, guess Hollywood thought it’s time for a metallic twist. Instead of Wilson, meet Roz, the Wild Robot – shipwrecked, not in a FedEx plane, but probably in an Amazon drone. This might be the upgrade Cast Away needed, answering the age-old question: “Who needs a human when you have a NY Times Bestselling robot?” The plot surely moves the needle from “beeping” to “booping” – but hey, it’s animation; The more the wires and widgets, the merrier. We’re going to need extra popcorn for this one!
