Ron's Gone Wrong

It's a timely, funny exploration of a theme - the love-hate affair between humans and AI - that has occupied the artistic mind for a while now....

"Ron's Gone Wrong" cynically skewers tech-makers but doesn't adequately address the machines they make.

Adults should enjoy the satirical aspects of all this, but children, too, will benefit from the film's irreverent attitude to big tech and its overlords.

Honestly, this movie is so pure. Take a couple hours out of your weekend and go feel good.

A lively and sometimes hilarious animated adventure and a sweet story of friendship.

What the animated feature lacks in daring imagination, it makes up for with endearing good humor, thoughtful cultural critique and one heck of a cute robot.

An Adorable Surprise

Ron might look like EVA from Wall-E but has more in common with the Tin Man from Wizard of Oz. In that at the end they both unexpectedly find themselves full of heart.

Movies designed for children shouldn’t just about entertaining them. They should also be about educating them and preparing them for life as adults. Ron’s Gone Wrong meets both necessities successfully.

The commentary on our reliance on technology in Ron's Gone Wrong is pretty conventional, but if you find yourself captivated by these characters and their considerable chemistry, it's almost impossible not to leave the film with a smile on your face.
