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.

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.

[@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.

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.

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.

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.

[@SpongicX]

Maybe not the best ever, but still really good. Best animated film I've seen since Zootopia.

[@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!

[@geardog24]

Transformers One and Wild Robot. Proof that robots don’t need human sidekicks to make a great movie.

[@coryhorton5837]

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

[@skenzyme81]

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

[@diamondknight8587]

As someone who was assigned the book in a book club & fell in love with it after reading it, I was beyond stoked when I learned it was getting a film adaptation & I’ll definitely look forward to watching it when it releases on streaming/dvd.

[@ToonBoi01]

This movie is peak upon peak! Love seeing ur vids btw.

[@maschadiebar]

I realy cried at the migration scene and the last scene 😭🥲❤

[@Themasterbot]

I mainly forgot about this movie before going to see it, only seeing the original trailer, BUT I AM SO GLAD I DID. The feeling of not knowing the story going in is so much better!!!

[@Bebop8ubby]

Honestly, "Wish" should've had this type of animation.

[@shibumi8]

Saw both and loved both. And plan on seeing them again as soon as my schedule allows. 😊

[@merlin5662]

while i do agree with you, the one thing i do have to say is that animation imo is heading in a renascence, while spider-verus wsa the beginning, i think since arcane, the amount of animated features has been far superior in quality that hasn't been since the 2000s. i think we are at a point where animation is taken more seriously by more peopl then before (except the golden globe or ocsars etc. )

[@Wiljo_]

"how else are they gonna advertise it " By having the wild robot screwing over leah duh 💀

[@thecommycompy5450]

My only issue is not enough mark hamill

[@GoodasGoose]

A new CellSpex thumbnail visual?! Impossible!

[@bavard100]

I saw this film 3 times in one week. I said I wouldn’t cry but that one scene I do cry every time ‘kiss the sky’. There’s so many relatable quotes I could relate to as someone who is adopted. ‘Bright bill wasnt meant to get this far but now he has a chance….you know that’. I wish there was more possitivity message about being adopted as it was hard growing up. I mean my birth mum died when I turned 18 but it made my answer clear who my mum was. I just had a long way round getting to her. During 2020I was reflecting im so lucky where I am now if I was with birth family I wouldn’t be in a good position as to where I am now. I was first in birth family go to university and beside my difficulties mum made sure I achieved them. Being animator was my dream growing up. (Still questioning as the animation industry is declining but indie projects are rising). So yeah I adore this film so much and wish I had it while growing up.

[@onewingedangel9189]

This is probably the single most beautiful 3D animated movie I've ever seen visually speaking. Really only the Spiderverse movies are on the same level in my eyes

[@zombieguy4444]

I cried 3 times at this movie It was SO GOOD

[@litlblkhouse]

It seems as if, at last, DreamWorks wins the Oscar again 😊

[@disneyngooglesuckatvideogames]

It won’t win.

[@mesousagaby740]

The Bad Guys underperformed? No, it didn't... 7:33 "It should have gone to Howl's Moving Castle", isn't that Ghibli's most mixed bag film ever?

[@selalewow]

I would rank it above Inside Out 2 because its an original they took a chance on vs an established franchise.

[@sonicsnake44]

I don't think I've seen a smile that big on CellSpex face before. Its well deserved because this movie is a masterpiece.

[@Insertthestranger]

I feel like this is what the last wish tried to aim for, a painty like style just more with watercolour I think.

[@Flameo326]

I almost forgot about this film, unfortunately, so thanks for making a video about it.

[@komodoguy152]

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

[@Norfirio]

I finished the book the same day i went to go see the movie, and honestly, the movie is good, but it removes a lot of the heartwarming aspects and character/world building in the book and left me disappointed and annoyed frequently. Just as one example, in the book, Brightbill calls Roz mom immediately and often. Their cute mother-son dynamic is established quickly so it can flourish throughout the rest of the book. Roz also isn't just like, "me robot, gosling is my TASK". It humanizes her in a way that gets lost in the early and middle part of the movie, and it makes the conflict when Brightbill runs away more sad than frustrating because it's fully one-sided. Roz never tries to get picked up by the company. She goes to find him in the robot graveyard instead and make things right. I'm tired of movies feeling like they need to shoehorn in conflict between main characters when there is already plenty of other opportunities in the source material to evoke "negative" emotions in the viewers (Longneck dying and the RECO robots coming to get Roz). They could have just made a mostly heartwarming movie with sad parts toward to end and a final conflict. Also, the movie portrays the company as evil. They are extremely neutral in the book and just trying to retrieve their valuable product (not sure if this comes from book 2, as I've read it's a bit of a combo between both). We don't have to attribute maliciousness everywhere and make everything black and white.

[@ryleeculla5570]

Give wild robot a Oscar

[@Dom-dq8ru]

The thumbnail changed each time this was recommended to me so I had to watch… 😂❤️

[@graphicmeebee4858]

I LOVED The Wild Robot. I didn't think I would. I thought I had already predicted the entire plot by the start of the movie and how it was gonna try to tug at my heartstrings and all that, but it just felt so raw and real that my partner and I cried on two separate occasions during the film. I love the humour in it as well, the jokes (and slight gosling abuse), I felt, were never out of place or overstayed their welcome. I was pleasantly surprised, and this is going to be an immediate recommendation for anyone even slightly interested :)

[@LiIBeary]

The animation for The Wild Robot is INSANE You can literally take a screenshot of any random frame in the entire movie And they're all gonna be wallpaper worthy 😭

[@josepablomartinez-rendon9484]

The Wild Robot is absolutely wonderful! I saw it yesterday with family and loved it! I cried three times. For me, it’s a great film when it hits me in the feels

[@beatricezanoni5582]

Things i loved about this movie: Animation Mostly painted backgrounds Embrace of death as a reality Emotionally driven Bear Expresses deep love in all its forms (im buried in my emotions and this movie understands me)

[@bloodcottoncandy]

The Academy giving it to Frozen over When The Wind Rises still pisses me off

[@jeremy1860]

Good to see you back :)

[@SuperFerret-b4l]

I was initially on the fence about the movie with the trailers because i felt that the talking animals thing was pointless (again, just from trailers alone) but after taking peaks at the movie in the theater I work at I gotta say it really charmed me

[@Bluetacokats2185]

I saw Wild Robot a few days ago with my sisters and I really loved it. Dreamworks is one of my all time favorite animation studios (I really love HTTYD and Kung fu Panda), and I’m so glad lots of other people love it too. I love animation. I love this channel, I’ve been introduced to some of my favorite films of all time through this channel, like A Silent Voice, In This Corner of the World and Wolf Children.

[@eshel9886]

In my opinion, this film was one of the best I’ve seen this year, right up there with Inside out 2. It had a whole lot of heart, the characters had a lot of personality, and the art direction was breathtaking.

[@Genxseven7]

Visually stunning, score was wonderful, emotional at times, the best scene for me was "I can use a boost" the scene and score was so wonderful especially as a parent.

[@FMFF_]

I didn't expect much from the movie, but after coming out of the theater, I knew without a doubt I'd be rewatching multiple times with the kiddos once it hits streaming. Heck, I might even get the DVD
