Funnily enough, I had to read this book for school (in a language completley unrelated) and even though I have difficulties with the language I was reading in, this was one of the books (I think out of the two) that I, with my adhd ass brain, could read completley, and on my own volition. I actually have the second book. I didn't know there was a third. I am definitely gonna search for the English ones, tho, so I can comprehend what I'm reading better, lol.

i heard that movie studios have different production teams simultaneously working on different movies at the same time, and then staggering their releases so it looks like they can make a single movie in a short period of time rather than multiple over a longer period of time maybe the bad movies were by the "B team"

Both the children *&* adults in my theater were equally entertained and intrigued throughout The Wild Robot. Even cried in a few moments. But since this sadly the LAST full DreamWorks film cuz all their upcoming features from now will be mostly made in other studios, I'm really happy they chose The Wild Robot to end on a high note.

[@Sleepy-Yeah]

Wait, fr? How come? Where did you read this?

[@Jackspladt]

Sucks too because dreamworks is really the only major studio trusted or come back from their movie lows. Sure they have bad movies but they have and will come back and make a masterpiece. I can’t say I believe in something Iike Disney or Sony to do the same thing. Would’ve put Pixar there too but with inside out 2 maybe they’ve got this

[@IshmaelBarrie-r7v]

This isn't the last DreamWorks movie. It will be the last DreamWorks movie in house. They will still be making movies, just not in house

[@SkodenMOC]

Transformers One and The Wild Robot are the greatest robot movies in the 2020s 😅 and they came out only a week apart

Because the studios didn't wanna have competition. Lol

I believe the wild robot is an adaptation of a book so I don’t know if it counts as original but the movie is undeniable beautiful

[@Ikatak]

1:53 If I had faith in anyone in this celebrity cast it was going to be Mark Hamill. Of course he blended into the role, he’s been voice acting longer than Kit Conner has been alive

[@spongemaster]

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I find Mark Hamill to be kind of hit or miss as a voice actor. A lot of his characters just sound like variations of his Joker voice but I agree that when he tries to do something different, he really does try and usually nails it.

If you guys want more original aspiring animated movies, I’d recommend watching transformers one as well before it gets pulled out of theatres-! Even if you’re not that engrossed with the series it’s a phenomenal watch.

[@BluffsCastle]

1:31 I disagree, I like the other Vikings like Snotlout in the HTTYD movies. They help make Berk feel alive. Plus they get more development in the TV series, which is highly acclaimed by fans and appears to be canon to the movies, unlike other Dreamworks shows.

[@PlatyPlat123]

Same, their abrasiveness is great given they are vikings.

[@cara-seyun]

the worldbuilding in that show was so incredible

[@blightedspirit6619]

I love how they flesh out the characters is Race to the Edge.

A shame the movies basically don’t treat the shows as canon, the other vikings just become more annoying with each movie rather than maintaining any development they get in the shows.

And just being raised by neurodivergent parents in general so you’re closer to them than most of your peers because they understand you better than anyone else could, despite maybe not knowing why (that part in particular is *very* targeted) I could truly go on and on and I honestly might when it goes digital and I love it for all those reasons! and as a recently diagnosed autistic it means a lot personally (and the neurodivergent friends I went to see it with also agreed)
