The Wild Robot: It's Everything Disney's Lost

[@00square1]

The irony is that the wild robot was a better anniversary movie for Dreamworks 30 years than Wish was for Disney animation was for the whole 100 years.

[@MarcoAnaya-ks7bp]

Oh the irony! 😁

[@ShahzebKhan-n3e]

The movie also reflects Dreamworks’ journey. As Roz left the island because of corporate pressure, Dreamworks too have to out source their animations. This realization brought so much light in my view on Dreamworks, because what they are trying to say that they aren’t happy with this change nor do they wanted it, but they have no choice under Universal’s’ rule. Maybe Dreamworks is trying to tell us that just like how Roz promised to come back, Dreamworks promised us that they would come back one day🥲

[@WhoRUTalkingAbout]

One line from the end of the film by Brightbill shattered my poor heart. "What happened was not your fault. But what you did to try and fix, it was everything" I interpreted this as a Mother (Roz) having an accidental baby (Be it adoption or the other). Both the Father and Mother (Fink and Roz) are very inexperienced with having a child. And goddamn that made me cry as Fink and Roz try to parent a child 🤧, and the ending made the river into a waterfall; a drizzle to a rain; a lake to an ocean.

[@Crazyashley42]

I will say that Moana and Encanto were both much more heartfelt than the other examples listed in the modern disney movies because they were based on things much older and darker than the others, between Polynesian Mythology and One Hundred Years of Solitude. They're not too much more formulaic than other disney movies, which were quests for either love or acceptance, with goofy sidekicks and bombastic villains, and female protagonists that were almost without fail graceful and stoic but not much more of a stand out. Lilo and Stitch stands out so much because it's so different from *that* era. Of the movies listed, I legitimately believe their current lasting popularity speaks for itself, and that they are the rare modern classics of the bunch.

[@monster-mecha_enthusiast_2002]

Stories where characters lose their powers, even if they get them back, is ridiculous. In Power Rangers the most that happens is in maybe an episode or three, but like that is out of at least 22 eps, often even 40, rather than the plot of a story that is only movie length.

Honestly what it feels the reason why films like Turning Red, Ownward, Lucca and even Elemental feel kinda mid Is cause it's obvious their directors used these projects partially as a therapy instead of story able to hold by itself. And they skip so many momments they could create complex reflecttions or thought into their stories to just fill their past "traumas" or mundane life, feeling less universal or appealing. And yes, there's films wich are great even working telling the creators life, Persépolis Is a great example, but that film is WAY cheaper so they could get more creative and it still feels geniune by all fronts. Meanwhile the Pixar ones feel like someone gave those noobs 2000 million dollars only to tell us their personal life.

I’m tired of the live action remakes, just shows that the current Disney is stuck in the past trying to rely on nostalgia to carry a film rather than make something new with heart and soul put into it. With the remakes no one seems into the roles most sound bored even the songs don’t hold a candle to the original music in most of the “live action” remakes. They are mostly CGI but somehow the CGI looks worse with every live action remake they put out. I’m glad that other studios are doing well and I have seen The Wild Robot, definitely is a masterpiece in my opinion. Really enjoyed it over anything Disney has made so far this year. I hope Snow White is the last remake at this point with how much back lash and hate it has gotten especially the test screenings it’s been through. ( please cancel every possible remake Disney good lord ) I also have high hopes for Sonic the hedgehog 3. ( the people behind it have done their research and are actually willing to appeal to all generations of Sonic fans. They also listened to backlash when the first trailer showed a cursed humanoid Sonic so Paramount definitely are putting a lot of effort into these films I am excited to see what they do in the third film and future ones too.)

From what I can see from Disney is that they don’t have any new ideas anymore, they either make a sequel or make a live-action movie from our childhoods just to make a ton of money. And if you see this, Disney have been making movies for Gen-zs and Gen-alphas, cause they’re young and they’ll agree to anything, the more the kids like the more money the adult has to spend just so their kids can watch. Just like you said Dreamworks and Sony Animation have been making movies for everyone to love, they hire the best writers to make the movie feel great and amazing not, even though they put low budgets in you can see how well their animations is such as The Wild Robot, Into and Across the Spider-Verse, Puss’n Boots the Last Wish, Prince of Egypt, Joseph King of Dreams, The Mitchell’s vs The Machines, Monster House, Vivo, and How To Train Your Dragon, not only were they’re animations good but they’re movies made sense they had adventures fought amazing villains, and there endings were astonishing, this is something that Disney can’t do.

It truly sucks that it's become rare that any of the movies that Disney will be producing would be successful at the box office when they were previously soo good at making successful movies. I totally agree that they have been making too many annoyingly crappy so-called "Live-action" remakes that no one asked for and need to learn to stop making those type of movies really soon. Because yes, no one wants to see those type of movies from that studio anymore and any future ones will keep becoming box office flops instead of box office hits because of how many people are currently planning to be boycotting those ones when or if they get made.

I had just watched The Wild Robot. I can not describe how amazing it was! I have never cried four times while watching an animated film, like I did with this one! The visuals were stunning, the storyline was good, the involvement from a mechanical non-feeling thing, to emotional, free-spirited, smart robot, was impressive. This made me emotional! Something I have not felt for any Disney movie (aside from Bambi, Bambi 2 and Lion King (and other old classics of Disney's hand-drawn films)) in a long time. THIS... this is good. Great! Better than most movies DreamWorks has given us (no offense, but Puss in Boots - The Last Wish, was not that good, compared to this). Something tells me, I will watch it again, soon. Because of how amazing it was! Finally, a story that left me with a feeling - longing for more of such content. Wishing it was longer. I hope DreamWorks will stick to whatever they just did and repeat it for their future 3D animations. 😍♥♥♥

[@bb8shouse]

As a Disney defender, I may not be the biggest fan of their business decisions but their have been a few films since 2020 has had a mix of hits & misses The ones I found to be personal to me were Raya & The Last Dragon and Elemental, the reason these two connected with me is because the 2 main characters were relatable to me, Raya in her trust issues & Ember in her insecurity Their were films that were great like Encanto, Lightyear, & Onward which may not be the best of the best but I still got enjoyment out of these. Soul & Inside Out 2 are the 2 best of the 2020s so far Wish wasn't as bad as everyone says it is, I got a few laughs here & there with the goat character & the animation made it unique from other Disney movies but it's a decent film So was Luca, but a Japanese animated film by the name of Ponyo had a similar concept to Luca but I prefer Ponyo if I'm honest In my opinion, Strange World has to be the weakest from Walt Disney Animation Studios since 2020. I forgot half of it within 6 months Turning Red is my least favourite Pixar Film & my least favourite animated Disney film from the 2020s. You know how people targeted Lightyear over a plot twist, yeah, TURNING RED SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE TARGET NOT LIGHTYEAR but anyhow, not all of their movies since 2020 stuck the landing with me, but their can be a relatable film like Raya & Elemental along the way. I May not support their live action remakes financially but their animated movies, I will still check out for opinion purposes + The Wild Robot was PEAK CINEMA

[@spiritbomb0719]

To me the biggest thing Wild Robot does to humiliate Wish is with the villain... Vontra is literally only in five minutes at the end (you could also honestly cut her out of the film & not much would change) yet she has a far greater villainous presence than Wish... Magnifico meanwhile simply isn't evil until the plot literally drops his entire character & motives to make him a generic asshole to the point where the film basically gaslights you to think he's evil despit the central marketing being he's the 'return of The great disney villains'...😡

[@continental_consumer]

I dont know why its a surprise that 2 animation studios that actually put soul into their movies are better than Disney, who only see numbers. They stopped being good once they realised they can crap out the most dull and aimless movies ever, yet kids and hardcore fans will just eat it up once they see their favourite characters. I wont lie and say that all disney movies suck. I did enjoy both inside out movies and the first wreck it ralph, but like you said, its around when frozen released that they adopted this new mindset that began killing their movies. Compare this to dreamworks znd Sony. They're willing to take risks. This is why even though they've made some failures, we've gotten masterpieces like spiderverse and the wild robot.

Somebody told me that Illumination is able to make their films so cheap because they use foreign sweat shops, working for slave wages. Which, I'm not surprised in this day and age, especially with how Hollywood is run. It's probably the case with most or all of the big animation companies, BUT ... like, does that mean that Disney, of all companies, the ones who screw over their Effects companies on a daily basis, the companies that's desperately trying to sell out to AI at every chance they can get, the company who makes shot for shot live action remakes of all their old work because they don't have to hire writers or storyboardists to make the same movie all over again... ...is the one company who's hiring American animators???
