Let's Watch - A Wobots Christmas

[@m.shields1270]

Dude this wasn’t bad, I actually really like the characters in this. Plus it was pretty consistently funny. It may look cheap but honestly I found it to be very charming

[@Diloparker]

I am going to be very honest, (and I am legitimately serious with this statement) I actually don’t hate “Gaithers Pond”. In fact I think it’s one of the better Christian cartoons (besides Veggietales of course) Yes the CGI is HORRIFIC, most of the songs are not needed (in the first cartoon, I have not watched any of the other episodes), and the writing could’ve been less on the nose. But I actually don’t mind the characters that much (I actually like how the main protagonist Gaither is kind of a d%€k, instead of being pitch perfect), at its core is a good message, and it didn’t feel overly preachy.

[@DraconasTenZHG]

40:11 That is genius yet kinda cursed reference. But honestly despite the animation being very dated I didn't think this movie / special was that bad. I am a little biased because my cousin ACTUALLY had it on DvD and I have small nostalgia but the jokes in english version and the songs are actually well made. And if you compare it to Gaither's Pond then it doesn't even look bad at all (also it was a 2004 movie and not everyone had the 3D of Pixar).

Something I actually quite like about this movie is how it has more moral lessons to it too, one that's actually pretty important "Everyone is imperfect, yet we can always work together to make something better" I like how they used the robots as an example to it when making a ship. It pretty much explains how working as a community can help solve big problems, or create a large project together, kind of like how you can see in some companies.

[@yourcollegedebt8384]

Maybe I just have low standards, but this doesn't seem that bad of a movie. I mean, it's early CGI, so things definitely look rough. But at the same time, some of the jokes were funny, some of the songs were (regrettably) catchy, and it honestly wasn't even that preachy. Like, the Christian messaging wasn't even that in-your-face. Granted, they become believers the second they learn about Jesus, but then outside of it taking place on Christmas, they don't even mention Christianity. They go back to save the day because "they understand the true meaning of Christmas" and because the villain was gonna kidnap and enslave orphans. That said, the biggest problem by far is how the villain is coded to be Jewish, with his villain song even following the tune of a famous Jewish folk song. If it weren't for this massive problem, I could see myself liking it as a kid in a similar manner to Veggietales. But then, I'd definitely choose Veggietales over this if given the choice at that age.

[@AlexanderOnTheYoutubes]

Funnily enough. In the bonus features of this movie they state that Peedie, the tiny robot is Jewish himself.

[@drawingdragon]

So your one issue with it is that you *think* the religion that explicitly teaches that Jews are God's chosen people and should never be antagonized, and that shares most of its religious texts with religious Jews... is racially mocking Jews?
