The Wild Robot

When I watched this movie I was not familiar with the book, so i was going in blind, and boy I was not disappointed. I loved the movie from beginning to end because of the animation style, the characters, the soundtrack, and the different themes from the movie. I always love whenever movies leave a lasting impact on you and this one definitely has. I will be honest I didn't expect to cry during this movie but I did......three times. It was so simple yet complex in what themes they were conveying, and I highly recommend people of all ages to watch this movie. The themes that I picked up on were motherhood, being viewed as different in society, and growing up. I loved and adored this movie so much and I cannot wait to watch it again.

DreamWorks managed to bring back the magic of animated cinema with The Wild Robot, a feeling we used to associate with Pixar. For years, Pixar films were all about heart and originality, but over the last 14 years, I feel most of their movies, except for Inside Out (2015), have become more generic and superficial. Thankfully, The Wild Robot, even though from a different studio, brought me that same nostalgic feeling I get from watching Pixar's older films.

The story of The Wild Robot is simple yet beautiful and moving. It explores the contrast between technology and nature in a way that's both touching and thought-provoking. From the beginning, we're drawn in by the innocence of the main robot and the curiosity of the animals around it, showing us a unique example of how the natural and artificial can coexist. This contrast is handled with great care, and for most of the movie, I felt fully immersed in the beauty of this interaction.

The characters, each with their own distinct personalities, are instantly captivating. Every scene has this nostalgic touch that takes you back to the magic of classic animated films, the kind I watched as a kid that seemed endlessly enchanting. It's a film that can truly appeal to both kids and adults.

However, while the first two acts are genuinely emotional and avoid clichés by leaving out forced villains or action scenes, the final act takes a more conventional turn, which is a bit disappointing. It seems to lose some of its original essence and the potential for a unique message, and the ending feels unnecessarily bittersweet, almost as if the producers were already considering a sequel. This final act could have been better developed or even left out entirely to preserve the story's integrity. Personally, I think it would have worked just fine without a traditional villain, focusing instead on a pure journey of discovery.

Despite this change in the ending, The Wild Robot is a fantastic title, a breath of fresh air for the genre, and so far, the best animation this year. It's a film with valuable lessons that can charm and move us, leaving a positive impact on everyone. I highly recommend it for the whole family, reminding us that animation can still touch the hearts of adults, just as it did when we were kids.

I loved this movie.

It has a wonderful message of tolerance and unity. The voice acting is charming. The animation is very good, stunning at times. I liked the story, though I can see some people feeling it's too schmaltzy or corny.

In a world that is so divided, and a country that is seemingly hopelessly divided, it's very comforting to experience a story of characters coming together, being able to accept their differences, and building a community. Sadly, that's what makes it fiction too. But it's nice to dream.

The fact that the title character, and the character that inspires all the change, is the ultimate "other" only serves to make the point more elegantly.

I suppose some people will think it's manipulative and needlessly tugs at the audience's heartstrings. But that's part of the beauty to me.

I loved this movie.

Chris Sanders comes back right when he's needed, this animated movie will go down in history not only as one of the greatest animated films but as one of the greatest films in cinema history. This is solid 10/10 for me, my only wish now is for this movie to succeed at the box office as well.

Hours later from seeing the film and I'm still emotional, I'm not your average movie goar, and of late very few movies can surprise me much these days, however today I met my match with The Wild Robot. I can't remember the last time a movie made me feel this way. Am truly in awww with Wild Robot, I highly recommend you catch it in cinemas with family.

The movie, despite being based on a book, has a unique concept. A robot surviving and adapting in the wild is both whimsical and thoughtful. It captures the viewer immediately.

The idea of an emotionally detached robot slowly becoming more human than machine through her interactions is intriguingly captivating. Not to forget the gorgeous illustrations and animation Subtle but powerful themes about nature, empathy, and what it truly means to be alive.

The only flaw is that some characters feel as if they are not quite developed for instance Pink Tale is a fun character and seems to have a nice background story, but it was only insinuated. Overall, the movie is heartwarming.
