Magic Marmalade 6th Feb 2025		Rated 7/10 One for the parents. Given the apparent premise, I was expecting this to be a little more unconventional than it was, but sadly not. In my mind it promised to hit the heights of say, Wall-E, or something more artistic and daring, and a lot of the time I felt it was leaning that way, but in the end, it opted for a more conventional emotionally themed story, that the whole family could enjoy in a more traditional sense. It is, in essence, Dances With Robots, as the mis-deposited robot lands in the wilderness, and has to get to grips with the harshness of nature, which, to their credit, the film-makers do not shy away from showing the blackly comic realities of a dog-eat-dog world (within the bounds of a child-friendly-ish scope), and there's plenty in here, humour wise, of the kind that is specifically aimed at adults, and will go largely over a child's head, but not so much that it's unsuitable for children... In fact, it's often very funny, and chucklesome I found, as the robot find's itself saddled with the responsibility of raising a chick / Gosling after it accidentally squishes it's parents, all while trying to keep a fox, and others from eating it. The central theme of the story is clearly about the responsibilities, frustrations, and trials of parenthood - there not being a clear program or pattern of logic to work to, and it is quite astute in it's observations. Very sentimental, perhaps a little too much so in the end, but fun, amusing, and a good watch nevertheless. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
