The Wild Robot - Movie Review

[@haleigh5161]

At the Wild Robot panel at SDCC, the director said that when the movie begins , it’s more cgi animation. As the robot becomes more connected to the wildness life, the animation style switches to hand painted animation. Thought that was cool!

[@SalKhayer]

Yo this is a dope detail! Thanks for sharing, will be watching this ASAP

[@irobutt2440]

Didn’t notice this when I watched it but now that I think about it, this is an amazing detail. Thank you for sharing

[@greenwind777]

Wow! That’s a brilliant idea from the director. There was a lot of thought that went into the style of animation for this film. Thanks for sharing this tidbit of information.

[@samwallaceart288]

Wait, did they use ACTUAL hand animation in this movie?

[@allanvaldiviezo7511]

​@samwallaceart288 they hand painted it. But instead of a brush the animators used a stylus since it's digital. Nice refreshing animation style

[@felixbombgardner11]

As an intern who worked on the cameras in this film, this is so incredible to hear from you!! Thank you so much for your kind words and even if you hated the film, I still would’ve loved this video! And just some bts for the cinematography in this film: Spielberg was definitely one of our inspirations camera-wise, with the shot of Roz falling down the cliff has her headlights shine through the forrest being coined by Sanders as the “Spielberg shot” during our feedback sessions for that sequence! And Nolan too as many of our flying sequences were directly inspired by Dunkirk! We even watched Dunkirk at the theater on DW Campus haha! Anyways, thanks again for your thoughtful critique!!

[@cadequillion5276]

Were you guys inspired by Miyazaki films for this movie cause I saw a lot of inspiration that felt gave this it’s essence

[@melancholybobbyjoe]

You guys did awesome work. I loved this movie and Kris Bowers deserves major credit for the incredible soundtrack. My partner and I both cried during this film. I want to point out one thing that I think hurt the box office numbers, because the film itself was clearly not an issue, which is the advertising. This was not really advertised at all. No one in my area knew this movie existed, I found out from Reddit and my partner who is a major movie fanatic found out through me. Our theater didn't even have the poster up until release week which is odd for them. Again though, amazing job. Easily one of my favorites and the first movie I've felt emotional about in years. Definitely better than TF One and I am saying that as a major TF fan.

DreamWorks can be very frustrating cause they're inconsistent in their movie quality. But when they cook they GIVE A FIVE COURSE FIRST CLASS MEAL.

[@kamal_jab]

That's the problem.. they can cook, but the result are not satisfying

[@jonbaxter2254]

They made Puss in Boots which blew me away with the maturity on display.

For every Mike Mitchell or Walt Dohrn that delivers a lot of inconsistent movies in DreamWorks, there is still Chris Sanders who can still deliver a hit for DreamWorks

Agreed. One of the best example of this. Case in point when I was a kid I was unaware of what the Cold War or threat of a Nuclear Holocaust was. (Soviet Union literally stopped bieng a thing before I was born in 1995). So that element never registered with me. But now as a result I love the Cold War setting and theme of weapons of mass destruction.

[@randomDaved]

One of my favorite underrated animated movies that didn't get the attention it deserved. And the audio tracks are still reminiscent of the golden age of Disney.

[@piplupcola]

The thing i love most about Dreamworks is that they are experimental. No two movies they make are the same. Like all experiments, not all of them will be successful, but this allows them to continue to improve and expand their animated films without being bogged down by a style like what Disney is stuck with now.

[@800Ms-k6n]

The fact that Chris Sanders wrote and directed this movie excites me the most. He has been in the animation industry for decades and it truly upsets me how a lot of people still don't know his name. From Lilo & Stitch to How To Train Your Dragon to The Croods and now this movie, Sanders is easily one of the greatest artists working in the animation industry. I really hope this could be a bigger hit for him. He's such a gem in animation industry, i adore him so much

[@ErinUnderwood]

YES!!! Chris Sanders is so talented. You can see his vision in both the script and the finished film. I love him.

[@1234dragonsky]

But then again, the casual moviegoer and people that are not too big into animated stuff are not too knowledgeable with names of people that work in the animation industry. I feel like directors of live action movie with 1 hit are more popular than animation directors with 3 hits

[@ErinUnderwood]

@@1234dragonsky I agree totally. That's been a big issue for a long time. Animated film writers and directors kind of disappear into obscurity and the studio is elevated as the "creator." It's really unfortunate since when you see Chris Sanders' name you have a pretty good chance of getting a story first film rather than a studio first marketing product.

[@1234dragonsky]

​@@graffiti.777 Idk, he missses some films sometimes, i guess it depends on his life outside of youtube, feels like he is reviewing more stuff recently, he hasn't reviewed TV shows in the past as much as he did in the last year or so. I know every once in a while he reviews "on demand" movies too, but he rarely does that, so i guess it's just if he's seen the movie. Maybe he saw the movie later thna others and felt he won't add anything others havent' said (i know he referenced "i am too late on this one" in some reviews and he'd be like 5 days late, so maybe cause life stuff he saw it like a week-two after everyone

My embarrassing example: Marry Poppins. Loved it as a kid and now as a parent/adult I see so many layers. That song “A Man Has Dreams,” as a man and a father, breaks me every time. I know it’s a fun musical about some kids and a quirky nanny but the story/movie focuses around the transformation of George Banks. Marry Poppins is a true master class of a movie that means different things to different people based on their stage of life.😊

When I saw the trailer for this, it didn't have any dialogue and I thought it was gonna be this interesting silent movie about a robot and nature.

I remember watching "Prince of Egypt" as a kid, and automatically thinking it was a "kids movie" just because it was animated. Watching it years later, that movie is a straight up heavy drama, and the only "kid" things about it are that it's animated and has a few songs (which aren't even all that "childish") , but it's an incredibly mature film and fantastically crafted.

​@@brando3342 what the hell are you talking about??? You're probably the only person in the entire world who somehow thinks the 'Found Family' trope is harmful. Go away

[@jeremyschaefer]

glad you liked it, Jeremy!!

[@viempressgeorge3302]

Simple … EVERYONE NEED TO GO WATCH IT! Great movie 10/10 … it is not like any other film

[@johnbd9765]

So glad you reviewed this, I would never have looked twice at this otherwise!

[@basilhenry-eyo6522]

What?😭😭😭

[@matthewstarliper4074]

This may seem a bit of an oddball, but one of my favorite movies as a kid that still hits as an adult is The Sandlot. It's such a timeless classic.

[@matthewgonzalez2727]

Excellent review as always, Jeremy, but also wanted to say this: If you’re a parent, please cry (if you feel inclined to) if this movie or really anything emotionally touches you; it will let your kids know that reacting authentically is okay

[@jmn194]

I thought we were gonna go through the entire year without an Awesometacular. A movie I appreciated more as an adult was Inside Out.

[@punkyreggaeparty8786]

I love when I can tell from the sig pic that Jeremy was pleasantly surprised. 😊

[@reecegeorge1457]

It’s a book by the same name. I read it a few years ago. Excited to see how closely it is to the book.

[@marcussterling7547]

The Iron Giant has to be the best example of a kids movie that you appreciate even more when you watch as an adult.

[@stevenabdelsayed8210]

Jeremy's reviews are the only opinion I really watch for movies and shows. N appreciate the spoiler warnings for some reviews. Awesometacular reviews!

“If it’s causing this much chaos and violence, why do you insist on continuing to do it?” - Matt Walsh on being gay and having a night out, after the Club Q mass shooting. "Expecting your kid to learn 'social skills' from public school is like sending him to live with chimpanzees so that he'll learn proper table manners." - Matt Walsh, on public schooling. "So what I'm saying is that the problem is not per se teenage pregnancy, it's unwed pregnancy. That's the problem in society." - Matt Walsh on when impregnating teenage girls should be considered a problem. “But it is, in fact, true that you have to make people hurt. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry. But holding signs and yelling loudly will not make anyone hurt. - Matt Walsh, on peaceful protest

[@colbystearns5066]

The Secret of NIMH is a movie I loved as a kid and found myself still loving as an adult, perhaps even more so since I understand more of what's going on in it now. This film was also terrific and I could see it resonating with today's kids the same way as they themselves get older.

[@michaels.6141]

It looks like the next iteration of The Iron Giant.

[@EdwardViaTomato]

Easily Oscar-worthy. Damn, what a spectacle that was. 10/10. Glad I randomly watched a midday matinee alone, because it got me a few times and I would've probably been a little embarrassed. Gonna call it "over stimulation", but really, it was probably just incredibly well done.

[@TheFoxInABox]

The Iron Giant for me for sure. As a kid, I cried. As an adult, it broke me. I think Puss in Boots 2: The Last Wish will be that for someone eventually too. You should review it if you haven’t!

[@kaof1958]

Congrats on the 2 million subscriber milestone! You should make a video in celebration.

Movie I loved as a kid and loved even more as an adult? The Land Before Time.

[@CaulkMongler]

I feel like the creators really took direct inspiration from The Iron Giant. Excited to see it tomorrow

[@crispy1186]

Thanks for the review! My daughter wants to see it, so it looks like we're going Friday night.

[@treeyellow4627]

Yep you were bang on. I went in to the theater wirh my kids and their friends, expecting a good nap as i usually do. Wowzeers. Wowzeers. Incredible movie. Incredible animation. I was crying! It had an incredible way of getting a hold of all your emotions and straight to your heart. Good job!❤👌👍

Virtually stunning, emotionally powerful, beautiful songs, The Wild Robot is everything.

[@xoelsanchez]

You are a great reviewer. Thank you for your input and service.

[@Skivenous]

This movie just took me back to a time when movies were simple plots, heartfelt stories, beautiful animation and no BS agendas to push. Great movie

[@jackburton1455]

Lupita Nyongo is awesome

[@samwallaceart288]

For real, she was also great in that Quiet Place prequel, which is one of those movies that's CARRIED by the cast being understandable without talking. A lesser actor and the film would be unwatchable. She's one of those actors who's quietly just been kicking ass every time.

[@matthewchartier2396]

This is actually a trilogy of books. My wife picked the first one at random because we love robots and needed new books to read to our kids. It quickly became our family’s favorite book and the book had us tearing up. The trailers looked great and aside from some mild artistic license with the source material it looks faithful. Excited to hear how much you enjoyed it, and can’t wait to watch it this weekend.

[@inluvwiththesun]

Just came from watching this beauty! I cried my eyes out and my heart was on the brink of exploding most of the time! Beautiful in every way!

[@ryanlocke5365]

I was already a mess during the movie and then my son, who just turned 4, tugged on my arm and said “I love you daddy” Oh boy I was crying in the club (theater)

[@jeradlarkey390]

I saw the trailer and immediately knew it would be this generations "The Iron Giant".

[@Internatube]

I want SO BADLY for this to be dreamworks first oscar win.

[@everythingisawesome2903]

First? They have already won two times for 'Shrek' and 'Wallace and Gromit'

[@Internatube]

​@@everythingisawesome2903let's be honest though, Shrek's good will has run out and Wallace and Gromit is more of an Aardman win with a DreamWorks production than the studio itself winning.

[@Paws403]

Ended up seeing this on your recommendation and was pleasantly surprised!

[@margarethmichelina5146]

This movie feels like a sequel of The Iron Giant

I assure you it is not. It’s in a league by itself.

OK I am shocked. I definitely didn’t think your review would be this good about this movie. You have me convinced. I’m watching it

[@MegaTeeruk]

Wow. That's a really unusual in modern cinema. Normally the message is "you are perfect the way you are. The world needs to accommodate you."

[@brando3342]

It's not that unusual on the whole. They are still teaching kids that they don't have to obey and accept their real parents. That it's okay if a kid wants to choose "new parents"... of course, that's the government. That's the point.

[@00ammy00]

​@@brando3342 OMG I hate this message! Like I love the found family trope as much as the next person but I'm getting kind of sick of how it usually comes with villainizing blood family and that it's okay to just renounce your parents if they don't agree with your views because they're "wrong" and you're "right". Nothing against foster parenting but it would be nice to see a film about kids having to realize their blood parents aren't always the bad guys and that others who seem like they have their best interests in heart just want to sway them into their own way of thinking...

[@00ammy00]

Actually the propaganda I'm seeing is less "You're perfect the way you are" and more "if you don't feel like your true self it's because you're not who you think you are, and there are people around you who won't accept you, but they're just bigoted and evil so ignore them and be your "true self" by literally changing your body chemistry and chopping off your body parts!!"
