[@joshuakim5240]

To be fair, an in-universe explanation is provided as to why the animals "talk", as they're technically still just making animal noises but Roz's long deciphering session is translating them rapidly. So in the viewpoint of any non-animal character who isn't Roz, she's making various animal noises in response to animals making animal noises.

Honestly, the movie being silent would’ve been so boring. People need to be careful what they wish for if it was silent, I think I would’ve liked it a lot less I think the characters talking helps drive the story that’s why I kind of found Wall-e a little bit boring in the first half I love when characters talk and express themselves in an entertaining meaningful way that drive the story and this movie did exactly that pure silence in these types of movies doesn’t always work in these types of movies And if this movie was silent, like no dialogue at all, I think this movie wouldn’t have been as entertaining as it is I mean, yeah you could have some non-dialogue moments, but people wanted the whole movie to be silent, which is ridiculous😂😂😂😂

[@ParagonAnimationsStudio]

Well as an animator I disagree with you on that. The eyes are the primary way to display emotion and the designers utilized a camera like quality with a pixel screen behind them to show movement, and an aperture as well as the upper and lower “eye lids.” The colors of the lights and body posture also provide some emotional feedback.

[@PollexTheCat]

My mom didn't Like Roz's choice to go to the humans in the ending... But I think that was kindof the best choice she could have possibly made. Not just to protect the animals, tho that is clearly an important aspect of it. But she's clearly rapidly deteriorating by the end of the film and probably would have completely broken down within a few months at the longest if she stayed. And really, the movie wouldn't have been nearly as good if they omitted any of the points where she takes serious damage. Sure there'd be merit in her making the decision to stay instead, assuming the humans never showed up to take her again. Choosing to spend a guaranteed last few months of her life with her son instead of risking the chance of not being able to return within the rest of his lifespan if at all. But the decision she did make in the movie also has a greater good aspect to it. Sure she might not be able to return before Brightbill dies of old age. And that's of course deeply sad if that happened. But Brightbill isn't the only reason she needs to continue operating. She knows thanks to the snow storm that many, many animals on the island would have died without her. Having the chance to return to the island fully operational means she can protect many more lives than she would be able to otherwise. Maybe even convince the humans to send out more units to protect wildlife after seeing her memories. People are severely downplaying all the ramifications of this decision and what it means for Roz and all the animals.

In the book (spoilers kinda here) but Roz actually loses all her limbs in a explosion. So all the animals carry her to the ship and just let her leave so she can get repaired.

I believe Dreamworks gave a really good "in-lore" explanation of why the Wild Robot could speak to every animal. She spent month, maybe a year, learning their dialects.

Normally, animals speak because "yeah, we're not gonna groan for one and a half hours having Pedro Pascal for the voice", but here it's given a reason to why everyone "speaks".

The most intriguing thing to me is what we don't see. Like it felt like there was an enormous B plot that we were supposed to pick up on going on in the background, but it never explores it at all. Like the fact that the robots were given guns, and the golden gate bridge is under water, and we see humans for about 10 seconds, but those 10 seconds tells us a LOT. like there is way more going on around the main story that is never brought up again, and that intrigues me a lot. I feel like we're either supposed to figure out what's going on/theorize, or that's what the sequel will involve.

[@monolinny1817]

Since there's a sequel in making, I think this is very likely. We were even shown a bridge (the golden bridge? idk) submerged underwater when Brightbill was migrating. That one scene, to me, is definitely intentional and will be leading us through the background in second movie. Another thing is I'm sincerely glad that the movie keeps its artistic elements cause wow. It's beautiful

[@violeth2255]

As someone who picked up and read the books after being captivated by the trailer: 1. The gun wielding robots are from a different line than Roz. They are bigger, more durable, stronger, and, unlike Roz, are capable of deliberately causing harm to non-human animals in pursuit of their task. 2. Don't expect much elaboration about the Golden Gate Bridge being under water. The books were never terribly direct on this point either, but strongly imply that Roz's world is a future Earth post much of the worst effects of a near worst possible outcome of anthropogenic climate change. There is a brief bit about how it's been passed down that the island used to be a mountain before the water levels rose to a point that cut it off from the mainland (and they think it was humans' fault). Book 3 touches on the ruins of human settlements beneath the sea, but that's really it.

That film set itself up perfectly for no dialogue. I remember the scene where Spirit is pulling the train, the colours and visuals suddenly shift back to the same palette they used for his home, Zimmer's score starts playing the homeland leitmotif, and I remember just gasping because the implication was embedded so perfectly. Then the damn narration said something stupid like "they were headed right for my home". I was so mad I nearly turned it off.

I think the reason some robots have guns is because she has a different type of task. The robots at the farm (in the storm scene) have guns because they have to find anything that could reduce crop growth, and having a gun would help. Ros doesn’t have a gun because raising and caring is basically the exact opposite of what a gun does. Edit: I do think Ros has a gun, but her programming forbids her to use it because of her different task.

[@violeth2255]

It's possible that they change this in adaptation, but Roz definitely doesn't have a gun. Roz is a helper robot. She is programmed to be incapable of deliberately harming any living creature (the dissonance of her programming and her accidental crushing of Brightbill's family being what leads her to resolve to initially take care of Brightbill herself in book 1). The robots with guns are RECO robots. They are more durable, stronger, and bigger than Roz. Additionally, they have a lot more leeway when it comes to how much harm they can cause to non-human creatures. In the books, we mostly see them used to try and collect lost Universal Dynamics property (primarily Roz).

The whole trailer thing is exactly why I never watch any trailers anymore; My whole realisation of the problem started with Sonic 1, where I watched the trailers, but realised after the movie, there was not a single real ‘surprise event’ in the whole thing, as there I don’t think there mighta been a single scene there wasn’t just SOME clip of somewhere in the trailer, meaning anything could be seen at least sorta coming. And sure, it kinda necessary first that since we were all desperate to see the redesign, but it made me decide to not watch any trailers for 2. And it was the BEST decision ever, I’d no idea what the plot even was besides Knuckles was in it, but Master Emerald, Snowboarding scene, GUN, ocean running, temple chase, Death Egg Robot, (what happened at the end of that of course), it was all straight to see, and so I went to the trailers after watching, and what do you know, i was completely right, they didn’t leave a SINGLE scene without something to suggest it, they wouldn’t even leave the death egg robot as a surprise ffs. So from that time on, I just quit trailers, cus they just cannot for the life of them not spoil too much, and Im glad about it every time, Sonic 3 (& Knuckles lol), Spider verse, D&W, this now, and it extends to games too now, Splatoon 3 story modes, M&L Brothership, ya get the idea. I just can’t watch trailers anymore for the exact problem ya talk about here, so if Im honest, Id just suggest to anyone not to take in any more marketing material than they need to to know they want in on something, it just works out better.

I finally watched the movie this weekend and I'm usually super critical about lots of celebrities being in the voice cast, Mark Hamil gets a pass he's just great, so I was a bit concerned about Pedro Pascal being in the movie. It's not til the credits rolled that I went "Fink was Pedro?? And Mark Hamil was here??" All this to say the voice actors knocked it out of the park with this one.

[@AngelWingsYT]

Saw the movie release day and cried at least 3 times. The plot was engaging and heartwarming and emotional. the animation was beautiful, and the VAs nailed their roles. (Fink is a joy through out the movie) the the score. 10/10 across the board

[@greninjastorm6734]

I have never read the original books, and I never learned of them until this movie was announced, but this actually had me sobbing like a baby at the end. I don't know why, but it just hit me in the feels so hard

I just watched this movie at home with my parents and omg this film was amazing! The humor had me and my mom cackling. I especially loved Fink. He was genuinely so funny and Pedro did so good voicing him! I also really loved the mother-son relationship between Roz and Brightbill. It was so sweet. The Wild Robot is now my new favorite animated movie. Definitely a 10/10 imo! ❤

[@satanicbladez9266]

this movie honestly changed my life it was absolutely gorgeous, i loved the voice acting, and the hibernation arc is my absolute favorite part of the movie because despite all the animals being so mean to roz she still saves them dear lord i loved this movie i cried so much

No she learnt the language by collecting data over a long time

i am old enough to drink and own a house, and i wept like a newborn at this movie. I got the precious opportunity to watch it with my mother, and it was such an incredibly special experience for both of us. Also, on our way back, we went to a fast food place to buy an ice cream, both with blotchy faces and tears and snot, smiling past the weeping. Those poor workers had no idea what was going on 😂

[@adabuilder6711]

I stopped watching the trailer, realizing they were giving it the Treasure Planet treatment.

[@veranto3331]

I think you got a point when you say it seems like we already seen that story before. I have pretty much the same feeling about the movie although it doesn't remove any of its numerous qualities ! It is so well executed I can easily forgive it the fact the story (while very well executed, I repeat) doesn't feel completely new. I had a great tiume watching The Wild Robot and I feel the urge to watch it again when it comes on streaming platforms !

[@cheshirewolf1574]

I just cant believe they taunted us with a Baymax moment with that "on a scale of 1 to 10 how satisfied are you" I would have SOBBED

DreamWorks really is the last remaining good 3D animation studio. And I love that for them with all my heart.

[@Mushrooms683]

I hope they make a third. The third book wasn't as good as the other two, and I'd like to see a rework.

[@pinkeye..]

i loved how they crew that created Puss in Boots: The Last Wish got to work on the art style for this movie

[@Emunah_]

This movie made me feel really good and I got nostalgic for the movies from my childhood. I hope more movies like this, or at least character/art driven works will start getting more popular again.

[@probTheo]

I think a movie you would love is Robot dreams. It a silent film like alot of people expected of the wild robot. And I believe that it also gets not enough recognition. I definitely recommend it.

[@jocelynecupcake]

This is the only "kids" movie out in the U.S rn... Like, when I went to the theater it was the only animated one playing that looked decently family friendly so I'm sure this was the perfect time to release it. Like, if you have kids and you're taking them to a movie this would literally be your only option. That was genius, and DreamWorks deserves the attention for their creative and adorable stories like this, and not crap like Bee movie or Boss baby

[@thatdsrgirl]

i already knew I was going to cry when watching the movie because of watching the trailers and how much I cried from those (especially the first time I ever watched the trailer), but DANG. I did not know I would be crying *throughout* the WHOLE ENTIRE movie. Maybe im just emotional like that but jeez, that movie was harsh and I loved it.

[@bizzybee582]

this was honestly such a good movie, i dont normally cry watching most movies, but this had me SOBBING. Kinda excited for the thoughts of there being a seconds, but i would be just as happy if they left it alone as just a stand alone movie.

[@ParagonAnimationsStudio]

9:15 I went to watch the movie because it looked incredible and to get inspiration for my own work. I don’t even know who Mark Hammel is.

I`ve watched it and it was amazing. Specially how dynamic and interesting it stay all time without dialogue. MUST-see film for those who love animals

[@TORTILLA_DOG_STUDIOS]

Theres a lot more death in this movie then I thought there would be. This is also THE ONLY movie that has made me cry.

[@FatherOfCabin7_ItsApollon]

I cried like 6-7 times when watching this movie, like I was full on sobbing. I usually don’t cry during movies btw, the only time that I cried (coincidentally another DreamWorks movie) was Httyd 2, during 2 scenes. Slight tears during the good bewilderbeast’s death and sobbing during stoic’s death.

[@freshbison2359]

I couldn't even tell who the voice actors were because I didn't know any of them were going in. All of them did amazing. Mark Hamil is already a phenomenal VA but everyone else did so well that I couldn't hear them and I just hear/saw the characters.

[@kadan2889]

I like to think that the robots reacted violently to the birds because it's never actually SEEN any interactions; it was only designed to protect humans for the most part, so chances are the farm-work ones may have been programmed to attack anything non-human that could pose a threat (while ROZ may not have been at the time, or the storm funked her up a bit than originally thought)

[@pinlac_gabriel]

I mean if yall want a silent movie that you're sure to enjoy, about a robot and animals, an intriguing story I suggest yall watch Robot Dreams also

[@billywright1890]

Just saw it today, it was phenomenal. First Puss and Boots the Last Wish and now this, great writing. I felt a lot of emotion in this movie. Having a robot that can have emotion really hit me hard. This is just a good as inside out 2. Disney is going to have competition with DreamWorks if they keep this up. I can see either of those 2 movies win the academy award next year.

[@GalacticStudios69]

I do like how they explain the animals talking in the book and movie that the robot is able to change its language of “animal” language. Never that I’ve minded them speaking, but I do like it lol.

I want to be completely honest, I personally didn't have much expectations for this movie. Came in completely blind, and came out of the cinema crying This movie went above and beyond everything I would've expected, full of feelings, sentiment, and passion. I really, REALLY hope they nail the sequel

[@adrianvanleeuwen]

This movie will win an oscar for Best Animated Film. Totally awesome in every way. Unique story, a robot lost in the wild learns to adapt and make friends and a family with the animals.

[@Argon2022]

I agree I was worried there would be too much dialogue, but I don't think there is, it's not annoying, and it works very well, especially with them even explaining the translation

[@myperspective6207]

I feel like Lupita Nyong'o deserved some praise in this review. She did an excellent job at playing Roz. I didn't hear you mention her name but to me she was really great. I didn't even know it was her at first but she was so good. I really felt the emotions of her character.

[@bugginonthewall]

[@faithdarkness9079]

I took the kids to see it, because they wanted to see it. I didn't even know who was in it till the cast was being shown at the end. I remember saying "Mark Hamil was the bear?" And my daughter asks "who is that?" lol so kids don't always know names. I answered Luke Skywalker. But it was a really cute movie, I never read the books so I was crying. And my daughter wasn't to happy with the ending. She wanted Roz to go 'home.' Here is to hoping when they do make the second one they don't drop the ball.

[@IronBrandon22]

The thing about the guns and harming animals, I think it has a pretty simple explanation: The company lies to their customers or the ones that care. The farmers clearly need protection for their crops, so they probably don't give a damn about what happens to animals meddling with them. But the ultra-protected civilization of humans? The company will lie to them. The other explanation is the boring one: It's just like this by default and can be modified by the company for different purposes.

[@violeth2255]

Universal dynamics didn't lie. Rozzum units are incapable of deliberately causing harm to living creatures (to the point that Roz's accident causes her to start working beyond her programming and take care of the one remaining egg). RECO units (the gun wielding ones and the tentacle bot) have significantly less restrictions on their ability to harm non-human animals.

[@IronBrandon22]

@@violeth2255 Didn’t think of the ones in the farm just trying to capture them, and that they wouldn’t consider that harming a life form
