The TVI Take

A robot stranded in the wilderness learns to parent a gosling. Sitting at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, this is an instant modern classic that tackles themes of nature vs.

technology, adoption, and community through breathtaking visual storytelling. High cognitive demands from the nearly wordless early sequences and the ecological complexity of the natural world. Educational value spans ecology, technology ethics, and the meaning of parenthood.
