look beside Shrek 3 and how to train your dragon 3, none of dreamworks movies are out right bad (cant remember a lot of shark tail even when I saw it as a kid and liked it), it is mostly the audience that overhate the "garbage" and overrate the "masterpieces", most of them are competent films with wildly deferent taste both as movie and the way the "sellout". also films like "turbo" and "bee movie" have cute harmless mistakes, ones that you can laugh with or at.

@@TheonlyRassledazit was because Brightbill was said to be a runt since he is smaller than the other geese in the movie. And Fink states that had Roz not accidentally killed his birth parents, his parents would have probably killed him or leave him for dead away because he was a runt, which is sadly true and common in the animal kingdom since if an animal is either smaller than their kind or has some kind of disability they are considered to be a weak link and are often killed off by their parents or their own kind.

[@SuryaGupta-te7fq]

@@xanderg.1070 Fink never said or implied his parents would have killed him, I watched it twice back to back since i liked it so much. Fink meant as the runt he wouldnt survive his environment or natural predators. Roz not only accidentally killed his parents but siblings as well.

[@silashurd3597]

People probably still have gripes that this movie isn’t a silent movie like many people hoped. But as someone who just saw this movie (opening day), lemme tell you: this movie wouldn’t have worked if Rozz or the animals didn’t speak. If you watch the movie, you’ll know. Other than that, it was a really great movie! Beautiful animation, great voice acting, a good story. DreamWorks going out with a bang for 2024!

[@bendonatier]

I think it might be recency bias since I just got out of the theater, but I think Roz from Wild Robot belongs with Wall-E and Baymax, and the Iron Giant with fully worthwhile animated robots. I like that she gets to be the main character, I like how her arc highlights the transition from metaphor to text with feelings of love, and I just love how she moves. So much of the film is her just giving, first her time, and then later her leg, her chance to go home, and even her heart for her son. I'm so glad that all the scars stay, and the moss takes over her body as signs of age, even if it's only a year. I love that she doesn't make the replacement leg, that it's made or her by someone who actually notices the tole it's taken on her to be selfless. I love how the tone of the film shifts from dark to light in her presence once she actually figures out what she's doing, to the point that by the half way point of the film you can't see any of these animals hurting each other, until she doesn't have the strength to keep them at bay. I wish there was the pacing was just a smidge better. A cut of Long Neck spying on Roz and Bright Bill, before he introduces himself, and some better way to make it feel like there weren't three endings. Even still my wife cried, I had a great time. Dreamworks is free to just keep cooking.

[@Al.j.Vasquez]

I think it deserves to be on that group 👍🏻 of course Wall-E and The Iron Giant are on topping Baymax and Roz, but I do believe they belong there, good call.

[@cobbss1405]

I think the pacing was definitely a result of the film being based off a book, it definitely had a “chapter” type of story design

[@alexsiemers7898]

And because it’s actually from a series of _three_ books, and tried to adapt just the first and a bit of the second one while also avoiding a cliffhanger

Fun fact, I'm pretty sure the film does infact show gore. Like, SERIOUS gore.

Too bad these two movies came out so close to each other. It's definitely hurting Transformers One's box office. As much as I'd love to see a proper Transformers film succeed I'm glad Wild Robot is making more. It's fresher since it's not an installment of a 40 year old franchise. Transformers already has great animated stories such as Prime. Even if we don't get a sequel to One I'm okay with it being a standalone flick. Even then it''s not like this disappointing box office will kill the franchise.

I saw this movie during a late evening screening on Friday, and I could barely sleep that night due to how much I had to process the magnitude of the masterpiece I had witnessed.

[@grimtheghastly8878]

I've said this elsewhere but I think my favorite thing ever about The Wild Robot is its references to and thematic parallels with the 1920 play Rossum's Universal Robots, which was the first instance of the word "robot" ever being used in English and the first time robots as a concept were introduced into science fiction and pop culture, though there have been many "proto-robots" in fiction and folklore before then. For those who don't know: R.U.R. is a sci-fi play about a future where robots have been created to replace human labor and eventually gain sentience and overthrow humanity. Just like in The Wild Robot, R.U.R. asks the audience to think about what it means to have a purpose and whether or not purpose is something we are given or something that we must create, though the film and the play take very different approaches to that question. The fact that our protag Roz is named ROZZUM unit 7134 is a nice little nod to the book/movie's philosophical ancestor.

[@mooncake2560]

I’m in love with this movie I think my my favorite parts of the movie is the survival aspect Roz mimicking a crab to survive is such good subtle storytelling that didn’t need dialogue But I also love the camera shots here with that one scene in the snow especially My only issue is vontra should have gotten more screen time That’s literally it and yeah I do agree that it was a tad quick but it didn’t really in my opinion make the story and experience less great I also like that roz starts to become more human in expressions and voice acting props to the voice actor for portraying the change so smoothly Deff favorite movie of the year dare I say my favorite robot movie along with wall-E

[@Septic-Hearts]

Just came back from watching and after hearing it was going to be released to streaming. I think this is one of Dreamworks' best films, honestly. The pacing was initially a bit quick for me but by the end I found it to be far more heartfelt than I had anticipated. I also watched it with my Mom, who's typically more critical of animation but she really enjoyed it, and she didn't say but I think she got teary eyed for it too. I hope more people will recognise it for its worth soon.

Dreamworks:we have recieved your feedback about mega mind2 so to apologize heres a masterpiece of a movie with great visuals and acting

[@ryankwon8785]

Wild Robot and Overwatch handle the stories of sentient robots really well. Transformers is kind of different since they are robots who already earned sentience since birth.

[@draco2351]

Watched it on Saturday, and I think it is a good story with phenomenal execution. The visuals were a delight every moment and the score matched it to boot. It's certainly a must watch in my opinion.

Pedro Pascal was amazing as Fink. Possibly his best role. 😂

[@komodoguy152]

I loved that the art felt like those old National park paintings and Just old nature art

[@--Paws--]

1:46 Most of DreamWorks movies, if not their media are almost based on books. From The Prince of Egypt to Wild Robot.

[@miserirken]

GOD HIMSELF SHREK IS BASED ON A BOOK. Same with How To Train Your Dragon. Heck, even the abysmal Boss Baby is based on a damn book! And the incoming Dogman movie too!

[@hunterolaughlin]

@@miserirken Except The Boss Baby book was actually better than the film.

[@MalkaLand1996]

I LOVED this movie! It had great pacing, character development, animation, and a lot of heart! I hope they make a sequel based on the second book in the trilogy!

[@fermintenava5911]

I'd still have prefered if it got the Wall-E treatment: No dialogue until Roz gets the egg hatched. The first few minutes felt kind of jarring that way, with Roz breaking the mood for expositionary statements. The movements and non-verbal interactions told all that's necessary. After the egg got hatched, everything soon clicked, and it's not too far behind the Pixar-movies as my animated favourites. It's not so much an emotional rollercoaster, but I like all the little ways in which it addresses purpose, destiny and instinct/"programming". And (on a minor note) I was half-expecting the old goose (Longneck?) to be a minor twist-villain, but was pleasantly surprised when he turned to be just a very cool dude ^-^ Plus: Brightbill's flying teacher, the possum family, and the subtle touches about humanity's possible future...

[@AnchGD]

I personally didn’t know about this movie before I watched for a friend’s birthday party, and the only thing I have to say is that it is beautiful

[@Glaciola_ice]

We all know that sadly inside out 2 will win the award even though its the same story that inside out 1 told just a different emotion. Sad because the wild robot deserves it far more

[@PastelN01r]

I was already convinced by all the marketing, but you putting TWR above KFP2 is what TRULY sealed the deal.

[@gentlesavage2068]

this movie feels like a cross between wall-e and iron giant

[@hereandthere8157]

I was sat when i saw that “wonderful world” teaser. Man that trailer was wonderful, can give you this feeling of love for the world we inhabit. That was the only material i have seen and only needed, so really i went to into this movie blind. What a wonderful experience really loved it and i urged people to go watch it, that and the transformers movie. Sidenote I went to watch both at the same day, and it was WORTH it.

[@cohort29]

Loved, “The Wild Robot.” Looked amazing, had some mature themes like death in nature, and got tears out of all of us.

[@Garmin21111]

The only thing I disliked is that the Villain is a little rushed and underdeveloped. The Villian doesn't seem to do many things or plan manh things Villainous oh sure it tries to captured and wipe roz memories and at one point attempted to kill brightbill but the wild fire at the end was not intentional merely a side effect of denying the capture of the war robots to what it saw as a enemy force. It's also crammed into the end of the movie, it's not a twist villian as we immediately Know it's evil the second we see it. I would love to see a shot of what it is willing to do to other robots that are unwilling to come at the beginning of the movie as a way to keep the presence of the Villian throughout the movie. But that's just my opinion.

[@notcarbuncle1493]

My only critique is that the climax of the book was way longer and had me on the edge of my seat the whole time, and felt so much more grounded, whereas in the movie a bunch of critters destroy like 8 terminator robots in like 60 seconds

It was certainly good. Just didn't blow me away. Not many risks taken with the story itself. Played it safe, but it was nice, music was fantastic, animation was also incredibly crisp.
