This is what I call an animation masterpiece! The score & music were freakin incredible, and I cried two times in the theater.

I'd like to add a point here. Nature is rightfully depicted as a "survival of the fittest" in Wild Robot, but there is one important exception to this which is the selfless action of parents. Making a robot, the hallmark of a "human" society, naturally become a parent in this environment, the one element of nature which inherently embraces altruism, all while showing that it is a human trait and how human technology can help nature in this same way, is very well done

Another thing I love about this movie is that the voice actors actually voice act and don’t sound like insert celebrity name here. I could not tell the bear was mark hamill or Pedro was the Fox

My favorite quote was "I have everything I need" after Roz throws out her power core to save Brightbill.

It was quick, but beautiful.

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

this movie is the definition of "every frame a painting"

SPOILER WARNING!











I loved the reflections you see in the film. Roz running to see her son migrate at the start and then Brightbill flying to see her mom off to her migration. And then when she remembers who she is and says “But you can call me Roz”. Me and my friends were the only teens in that theater, and we were bawling 😭

What a wonderfully thoughtful and insightful dissertation. I was lucky to be able to work on this film and it’s fantastically reassuring to see it recognized as the timeless work that we all knew it was while we were creating it. Thank you for this. ❤

One of the things I absolutely love about dreamworks, is they are not at all afraid to show some violence or mistreatment. It really makes them stand out from the crowd.

I really hate it when people call this movie "generic". I have heard poeple say that all there is in this movie is a robot trying to teach a gosling how to grow and become better and that this movie is predictable, which it kind of is, but it's predicatble in the best way possible and the people who call the story "generic" clearly can't see the bigger picture and what emotions and message this masterpiece of a movie truly holds. I definitely think that this movie should win the oscar for best animated movie for 2024. This is by far, the best Dreamworks movie in my opinion (yes, it's better than HTTYD, don't cry about it).

You're about to make me cry all over again.

[kayleeruiz]

The Wild Robot reminded me a lot of Studio Ghibli storytelling. It’s rare for animated features to feel comfortable having emotions drive the plot. Often they always need their characters to do something, complete something. Always a call to action so the kids don’t get bored. But The Wild Robot (and Studio Ghibli films) have a more character forward approach. I figured that out when Roz’s “task” of “eat, swim, fly” was completed in the first act. After, it was a matter of following our character around and seeing them do what made sense for their development. It felt very realistic to how life actually happens.

[dlodendron]

Everything about this movie was perfect. It's exactly what I needed personally as well, story wise.

[-sacnmusicalthearter]

I saw this quote on a website recommending this movie (a chinese app) and like i loved it
"If science cannot explain it, let love take over."

[antodcat]

Its a story of being a parent and it made me my mom my father my daughter cry in the theatre and we were hugging it out the whole time

[TomastheHorrorfan]

DreamWorks isn’t “back, ” it’s completely normal for them to release a few really good movies, and then really bad ones, and the cycle continues. That’s really the thing this company is known for.

[stefandjuric]

What mostly surprised me is that even though I had very high expectations for this movie, it still somehow endedd up being better than what I expected. It's definitely one of the best animated movies ever and my favourite movie of the year.

[Whyiseveryhandletaken]

Dreamworks might win their first Oscar since 2005

[kristianbanks]

I cried three times watching this! It was so gorgeous! What a beautiful movie! The music, the characters, the acting, the animation! Everything was perfect! I loved it so much! 10-10!

[gomshomiscool]

the fact that it depicts the good and bad sides of runaway ai in such a marvelous way is incredible. i feel like anything you can think of, it is depicted in some way in this film (maybe not everything, but close enough)
