‘The Wild Robot’ Is This Year’s Only Oscar Nominee to Pass the Bechdel Test for Climate Change
“After a harrowing year in which we all experienced the climate crisis, we desperately need more stories that help us find meaning and courage in the face of it. The Wild Robot is an enchanting depiction of life in the age of climate change — a poignant exploration of resilience, overcoming fears and differences, and the power of community in an uncertain world. While we look forward to the day when more Oscar-nominated films reflect our reality, we couldn’t be more thrilled that a story with such artistry and emotional depth has done so this year,” Anna Jane Joyner, founder and CEO of Good Energy.
