This movie is one of the only movies I’ve seen that attempts to have so many themes and actually does it success. It tackles parenting, identity, self confidence, respect and compromise, and probably others that I missed, while having insanely good characterization and spectacular animation. Overall it’s a damn brilliant film that I will rewatch many times.
A big reason all these ideas succeeded is that it stuck *very* closely to the original book. One problem I felt both the movie and book had is the predator problem. If there’s a truce and no one eats one another, carnivores starve. So, it doesn’t really work if you think about it even for a second.

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
@@leoistari I'm not sure Pedro has had any other voice acting in an animated show- but he does have voice acting/over experience with the Mandalorian because he wasn't always the one in the suit
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
Interestingly, the guy who made up the whole 'dominance' theory on wolves later found out that packs in the wild (not artificially formed ones in captivity) would form their social structures as Families, a more intuitive model. There is still competition amongst siblings, but the idea that altruism bonds are just a human thing is really not reflective of reality. @@zachrabaznaz7687
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
What about a real life version of animation of Human vs human and how Morbid people are like Strangulation/drowning vanishing of the face of the planet
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 😭
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).
Yeah. Predictable doesnt have to be a bad thing. The same as unpredictable can be actually a bad thing. Best example of that is the second movie in the Disney starwars sequel trilogy.

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.

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. ❤

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.
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!
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.
I think it just is kind of a joke, like that meme of the graph that has all the mountains and valleys and says “it’s so over” and “we’re so back”. Dream works has some absolute bangers and absolute stinkers, following the meme
I CRIED THE WHOLE MOVIE I KID YOU NOT. I start crying at the very begining because of the music. Every time something cute, pretty, sad or sweet happened in the movie my eyes got all wet. I'm crying again just watching some of the clips your showing akskjjks. GAAh i'm such a crybaby, I love this movie so so much
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)
This movie just feels like it was an uncompromised vision, one with little corporate influence. I don’t know if That’s the case, but that feeling is something these studio owners really need to write down. This movie needs to win something at the Oscar’s. It’s so sweet, it’s so kind, I think this is the kind of movie that we need.
@@charlieistryinghisbest did you not watch the film mate - the film literally touches upon the nature of the food chain, prey vs predator and the cycle of life; it talks about death alot actually lmao
100% agreed! This movie deserves an Oscar. It has become a classic and has now become one of the best animated movies of all time and the best DreamWorks movie, in my opinion. I love this movie and will protect it at all costs. This is one of those movies that I don't get the hate for, there is simply nothing to dislike about this. I personally think that this exceeds even the likes of Spider-Verse (that doesn't mean I hate Spider-Verse so don't get all angry about it).
@@charlieistryinghisbest They literally explained this in the movie as the cycle of life the instinct to survive and they all were okay with it even roz Just let people live their own life pls if u don't eat meat good for u if u eat it also good for u just when u decide to eat meat make sure u buy it from a place that Follows the merciful instructions such as the knife is sharp and makes it quick for the animal and don't show what is happening to the others And all this is considered by islam btw ...but unfortunately few people aren't doing it cause they don't know their religion well .
I adore this movie with my entire being. Ive seen it 3 times this week and still haven't gotten tired of it. I cried 5 times when i first saw it. It is without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite film of this year and quite possibly one of my favourite films of all time. I cannot wait to own this masterpiece on blu ray.
@@AntsTheaterCorner2698It has to, I didn't get this much emotional after watching IO2 like the wild robot did oh lord can't even find the words to describe all my feeling now
@hyeli2998 exactly, the wild robot was more emotional than inside out too because inside out two was essentially another Pixar sequel that played it surprisingly safe. As funny as it was, I didn't go to see a funny movie. I went to see an emotional movie and I didn't really get that.
Girlfriend and I saw the trailer for this before inside out 2 and had it in our calendar since.. grateful to have seen it opening night, one of my favorite film experiences.
this was my favorite movie of the year. i loved it so much, I got screenshots of it set as my desktop wallpapers because my God it's gorgeous. the story, the music, the theme and arc... it's EVERYTHING. i wish more such amazing animated movies come out in the future instead of the soulless disney ones
I haven’t been absolutely floored and stunned by a kid-friendly family film like this since I was … a kid. I took my daughters to see this and I straight up cried twice and haven’t been able to stop thinking about the complex DEEP themes this film explores. And what makes it so effective in its most powerful messages is that it states them with subtlety and guides us to the conclusions it’s trying to make on our own instead of beating us over the head with it. It’s so rare for a film in this category to have so much artistry and actually have something meaningful to SAY
I didn't get to watch it due to my exceptions of dreamworks nowadays. After watching it on "digital", I cried an ocean during act 2 and 3 as wel as the resolution. The lessons it teaches with the beautiful animation and colors, alongside with the music and songs. It's perfect
This side of dreamworks we’re seeing break out of their dormant shell is one of the best things to hit animated cinema, thank you for this amazing video essay
@@FilmSpeakAgreed, Inside Out 2 and Moana 2 are more Disney and Pixar Sequels that are essentially cashing in on a lazy trend in Hollywood, lack of originality. Transformers One and Wild Robot are the top clear contenders. If WR is the frontrunner, TFONE is following closely behind IMO.
It reminds me of how I felt about Migration back in Christmas as a lay-back movie like this is enough to recharge my spirit as taking care of myself is very important. I wanted a good bird story as last time Rio was okay especially my special interest in ecology- the reason why I'm a die-hard Jurassic World/Monsterverse/ Avatar fan or purest. I wish movies were treated like this with cliches for audiences to grasp a personal level, like how Into Spiderverse back in 2018 was a wake-up call for many adults in their most fragile times.
What I find thought provoking is that Roz is an AI that rewrites her code to learn empathy, humanity and parenthood. Pretty much like how humankind started out as violent cavemen, but through time, we gradually developed those things as a mean of self-preservation and survival of our community. If we could come to this point despite our beginning, then who's to say AI can't do the same when put in the right circumstances, but at a much faster pace? And Vontra said that they want something inside Roz, because it's special. Maybe, humans can't fully replicate humanity, but AI can? Is it possible to see something like Roz happen in the future?
Took the complete wrong take away from this movie. I hope you enjoy your Ai girlfriend 👍🏼 (You almost got it) I mean the video says it “if roz and the animals can “re write” their programming to learn and work together then what’s stopping humans? It’s not about robots, it’s about robots but talking about humans.
@WGasmss Wow, for someone pointing out about human should learn to work together, you got quite a prejudice and needless hostility towards a stranger. My life is happy with my human wife, thank you. For the record, I know what the point of this is (it's not even about robot, it's parenthood) I just think there's a thought-provoking side to this concept too, as a sci-fi nerd. Artificial conciousness is pretty common discussion among anything sci-fi and robot-related for decades. But I guess you're not up for that kinda fun, but rather attack me instead. Good for you.
Since human failed. Dreamworks created a robot which was programmed to save the wild nature. This is absolutely a masterpiece. I hope there will be more upcoming from dreamworks ❤️.
I watched this movie with my mother, the day before my birthday. We both left the theater wiping away tears. We both loved the story, and I couldn't stop gushing about it to my father who hadn't seen it, and my friends who had. It was insane.
dude they made the series that i LOVE reading into a better movie adaptation, and it (sorta) follows the book story but it has its own spin on it, all the characters personalities are perfected. 10/10, id recommend watching
I think this movie came out at the perfect time. In current history and times, I have never felt so dehumanized. This film made me feel like a human again. Its hints of climate change were small but very big as well. They created a lot of question about the world of the movie outside of the characters. Also you mentioned it looks like an illustration, they actually hand drew over the 3D models to give it that feeling! They indeed did mix all the art elements together! The wild robot is one of the most beautiful films and I hope it’s one not to stab us in the back in the future as we look at our world and see it dead and polluted.
The Wild Robot showed a lot of strong messages about Nature, Motherhood, Love, Self Growth and many more. Im planning to show this movie to my Mother on Mother's day and the reason why 6 months and not now is because I believe it will be great gift for her on that day just to tell her "I Love You Mum, thanks for taking care of me since the beginning of my life"
I recently just watched this movie with my mother in theaters, I expected to be obsessive with this movie & expected my mother to not understand me - turns out my mom genuinely cried and I thought that the movie was just... good!
Amazing analysis 👏🏽 A masterpiece one of the best films I've seen a powerful emotional roller coaster of not living the life you were programmed to live and to make your own choices. The animation was magical and the story stunning 10/10.
Dreamworks has been doing a LOT better lately, they may have some weird releases too... But honestly bad guys, puss in boots and now this? Theyre doing SO much better
dreamworks is somewhat notorious for their hyper divisive movies. their movies are either the best thing ever made, or a flopfest. with rarely any in between. rn we are in the "best thing ever made" side of things, with stuff like puss and boots and the wild robot.
Dreamworks isn't back because they never left. They've always have a mixed output throughout their filmography and I'm ok with it when we eventually get to incredible movies like this.
This movie was beautiful, there was so much more to it than I thought. Like it felt way longer than it actually was but for all the right reasons. I legitimately thought it was gonna end after Bright Bill left. And I love that in this shitty ass modern media landscape, they put money behind a movie that clearly doesn't have a ton of recognizable characters with mass merchandise appeal. I can't wait for the sequels.
I saw it and thought it was good, especially the animation, but the story felt pretty straightforward to me for the most part. Maybe need to give it another watch when it’s streaming
Really wonderful analysis of a truly breathtaking film. Bravo! While watching this it occurred to me how much humanity the animators were able to infuse into Roz - with no mouth, no eyebrows - just deep and searching circles and some rgb. Wow, such a beautiful and touching experience.
you also gotta remember her voice. how it changes throughout the movie. her voice becomes less and less robotic as the movie progresses, sorta representing her progress in emotions. best representation of it i can think of is when she's talking to rummage, and starts venting about the frustrating parts of childcare and how she has no clue what shes doing.
I really thought I was the only person who thought Puss in Boots, The Last Wish was amazing 😂 I watched it with my son and bf like "wtf was that?! Im crying??"
THE WILD ROBOT directed by Chris Sanders also the director of DRAGON (2010) A Masterpiece. A Live version is in Production. THE WILD ROBOT is the story of ROZ who lands on an island. She must find a mission, The animals of the forest fear the presence of this ROBOT… ROZ finds an egg and finds her mission Feed the goose - swim - Fly for the fall migration. The 3D style and the rendering of the oil painting make the visual sublime. There are shots that made me think of Hayao Miyazaki’s films. THE WILD ROBOT ☆☆☆☆
a beautiful film. it makes you laugh at unflinching death within the first 10 minutes and then cry at the simple emotion and enormity of living life time over time. after years of Pixar and other animated features manipulating scenes for that sad tearjerker moment, the Wild Robot stands out because its most emotional moments aren’t sad - they’re loving, happy almost, so filled with solemn joy all you can do is try not to well up with emotion.
About 'survival of the fittest', I once heard someone say that when social species, like humans, are thrown into the mix it becomes 'survival of the friendliest'.
I one think I like is that after the time skip they don’t take the entire movie to admit the Roz is Brightbill’s mother. She’s not just his “caretaker.” Her voice is fully human. It doesn’t take till the end of the movie to get a “Mom” out of Brightbill.
8/10 for me. It's really good and I love that it feels like they really care about the story and not just the box office. I appreciate it, also the animation and the way they let it breathe, without rushing so much. Of course, I prefer the first half to the second. I think it was a mistake to bring Brightbill over after he finally joined the geese on the migratory journey. I also don't understand the change in perspective that shows him in the futuristic city and I think there were too many goodbyes and never a real feeling of loss. Maybe I'm too demanding, but that's what happens when many tell me it's a masterpiece. Very good, without a doubt.
The film has its problems, but I don't know how you can look at this gorgeous animation and not call it a masterpiece. Like, this is animation that is literally pushing the industry forward.
@@shouryamukherjee9854 well for me it's more than just beautiful animation to became a masterpiece, and this could, because for the whole first half i though it was doing an spectacular job. To make myself clear i consider a masterpiece something like The Princess Mononoke, not just gorgeous animation, but also solid plot and way more mature development of the themes you are dealing with, if that's what you are trying to do.
Thats fine, its your opinion and i agree, its not bad being demanding sometimes. I actually liked the movie a lot, i think its a 100/10 for me, but its because i kinda felt identified with the movie and a lot of aspects. Sometimes we get a real feeling when there are situations on our lives that we can identify with. I actually got that "real feeling of loss" it was truly beautiful for me.
@@alejandrasanchez3022 totally agree. It helps a lot if you can relate to something especific. I remember feeling like that with Perfect Days. It came out in a time where i needed.
Thought he was gonna pull a twist by saying he hated this 😂😂😂 had to check in just to make sure 😂 keep going bro even though we rarely agree i respect what you bring to the table
I really like this video, your passion for movies and animation really pops off the screen! It is a well articulated love letter to the wild robot and a very enjoyable watch. My only gripe would be the section where you discuss the wild robot as the pinicale of animations evolution from 2D cel animation to 3D in the 2000's to now. It feels to me like you are arguing that 3D is superior to 2D or stopmotion and an improvement in the medium of animation as a whole. While this could be a false assumption of mine and not what you meant, I would like to explain that viewing animation like this is harmfull to the industry. In recent decades it has become harder and harder to get traditional 2D projects greenlit in the west, especially in big feature lengt movies, the business people involved see it as less marketable since it is "old" and "obselete". 3D, 2D and stopmotion are simply different ballparks, they are not better or worse than each other. Spiderverse, arcane, the wild robot, these projects are gorgeous and should be celebrated but projects like El dorado, Wolfwalkers, The boy and the heron, Klaus or Coraline, Kubo and the two strings, The house etc are equally gorgeous! You can see the love and work the artist has put into each hand drawn, hand moved frame. You can create wonders just with a pencil and paper or wire and clay, people finding these mediums inferior just because they use less computers is hearbreaking to me as an animator. I'm not saying this is what you meant to imply with that section of the video, like I said you seem very passionate and a lover of animation, but I would like to ask you to be cautious whith possilbly echoing the sentiment that 3D is the 'superior' form of animation.

@@charlieistryinghisbest because one is fiction and the other is real life. Also sometimes it's because of medical reasons

Stfu. You don't have to comment this on every single post @@charlieistryinghisbest
I CRIED THE WHOLE MOVIE I KID YOU NOT. I start crying at the very begining because of the music. Every time something cute, pretty, sad or sweet happened in the movie my eyes got all wet. I'm crying again just watching some of the clips your showing akskjjks. GAAh i'm such a crybaby, I love this movie so so much
Yo, I'm a 6'3" heavy metal bloke covered in tattoos, I bawled like a baby the whole second half of the movie. Felt so much better after.
@@MrMonsster I hate the “cried like a baby” phrase
@@Jake-nm3tb okay
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)
This movie just feels like it was an uncompromised vision, one with little corporate influence. I don’t know if
That’s the case, but that feeling is something these studio owners really need to write down.
This movie needs to win something at the Oscar’s. It’s so sweet, it’s so kind, I think this is the kind of movie that we need.
It makes me so confused how people love movies like these and then still eat animals the day after
@@charlieistryinghisbest did you not watch the film mate - the film literally touches upon the nature of the food chain, prey vs predator and the cycle of life; it talks about death alot actually lmao
Dreamworks might win their first Oscar since 2005
I remember they also won in 2006 with the Wallace and Gromit movie
@@phuphan1603 that’s what I was talking about
Oscars dont really mean anything tho... They dont prove anything
THE WILD ROBOT is the best animated movie of 2024!!
100% agreed! This movie deserves an Oscar. It has become a classic and has now become one of the best animated movies of all time and the best DreamWorks movie, in my opinion. I love this movie and will protect it at all costs. This is one of those movies that I don't get the hate for, there is simply nothing to dislike about this. I personally think that this exceeds even the likes of Spider-Verse (that doesn't mean I hate Spider-Verse so don't get all angry about it).
Probably in the last two decades.

It was an incredible watch. Haven't cried so hard for a film in such a long time
It makes me so confused how people love movies like these and then still eat animals the day after
@@charlieistryinghisbest
They literally explained this in the movie as the cycle of life the instinct to survive and they all were okay with it even roz
Just let people live their own life pls if u don't eat meat good for u if u eat it also good for u just when u decide to eat meat make sure u buy it from a place that Follows the merciful instructions such as the knife is sharp and makes it quick for the animal and don't show what is happening to the others
And all this is considered by islam btw ...but unfortunately few people aren't doing it cause they don't know their religion well .

It feels so Indie and I love it!
I adore this movie with my entire being. Ive seen it 3 times this week and still haven't gotten tired of it. I cried 5 times when i first saw it. It is without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite film of this year and quite possibly one of my favourite films of all time. I cannot wait to own this masterpiece on blu ray.
This movie made me realize I do want to be a mom and I couldn’t stop crying during it..
This. Movie had be crying so hard omg the wild robot needs to win at least one award the wild robot is a MASTERPIECE!
The Oscar. Definitely. It's facing competion from Inside Out 2, Transformers One and Moana 2. It might win tho.
@@AntsTheaterCorner2698It has to, I didn't get this much emotional after watching IO2 like the wild robot did oh lord can't even find the words to describe all my feeling now
@hyeli2998 exactly, the wild robot was more emotional than inside out too because inside out two was essentially another Pixar sequel that played it surprisingly safe. As funny as it was, I didn't go to see a funny movie. I went to see an emotional movie and I didn't really get that.
This was our apology for ruby gillman, and it was more than an apology, it was a masterpiece
Girlfriend and I saw the trailer for this before inside out 2 and had it in our calendar since.. grateful to have seen it opening night, one of my favorite film experiences.
0:31 it’s not new ip it’s and adaptation of a book and the book already has a sequel
Should be nominated for Best Picture.
Excellent movie.
this was my favorite movie of the year. i loved it so much, I got screenshots of it set as my desktop wallpapers because my God it's gorgeous. the story, the music, the theme and arc... it's EVERYTHING. i wish more such amazing animated movies come out in the future instead of the soulless disney ones
Single most perfect review about the best film of the year, chapeau.
Thank you so much!
This movie and its characters especially Roz, Brightbill and Fink live rent free in my mind. I am not complaining
I haven’t been absolutely floored and stunned by a kid-friendly family film like this since I was … a kid. I took my daughters to see this and I straight up cried twice and haven’t been able to stop thinking about the complex DEEP themes this film explores. And what makes it so effective in its most powerful messages is that it states them with subtlety and guides us to the conclusions it’s trying to make on our own instead of beating us over the head with it. It’s so rare for a film in this category to have so much artistry and actually have something meaningful to SAY
I didn't get to watch it due to my exceptions of dreamworks nowadays. After watching it on "digital", I cried an ocean during act 2 and 3 as wel as the resolution. The lessons it teaches with the beautiful animation and colors, alongside with the music and songs. It's perfect
It's still in theaters haha. I just watched it for the 2nd time this past weekend.
This movie feels like a dream from the future. It's just so mesmerizing 😀🥰.
this movie is one of the greatest of dreamworks masterpieces
This side of dreamworks we’re seeing break out of their dormant shell is one of the best things to hit animated cinema, thank you for this amazing video essay
I read the book years ago and I'm so excited to see it!
This is one of the best movies i cried the whole entire time but it was awesome.
I believe it's going to win the Oscar.
I sure hope so. It is the clear frontrunner
@@FilmSpeakAgreed, Inside Out 2 and Moana 2 are more Disney and Pixar Sequels that are essentially cashing in on a lazy trend in Hollywood, lack of originality. Transformers One and Wild Robot are the top clear contenders. If WR is the frontrunner, TFONE is following closely behind IMO.
I'll come back to this review after I watched the film tomorrow.
It reminds me of how I felt about Migration back in Christmas as a lay-back movie like this is enough to recharge my spirit as taking care of myself is very important. I wanted a good bird story as last time Rio was okay especially my special interest in ecology- the reason why I'm a die-hard Jurassic World/Monsterverse/ Avatar fan or purest.
I wish movies were treated like this with cliches for audiences to grasp a personal level, like how Into Spiderverse back in 2018 was a wake-up call for many adults in their most fragile times.
Saw this in a theater. My only complaint is that my eyes were too watery to see anything.
What I find thought provoking is that Roz is an AI that rewrites her code to learn empathy, humanity and parenthood. Pretty much like how humankind started out as violent cavemen, but through time, we gradually developed those things as a mean of self-preservation and survival of our community. If we could come to this point despite our beginning, then who's to say AI can't do the same when put in the right circumstances, but at a much faster pace? And Vontra said that they want something inside Roz, because it's special. Maybe, humans can't fully replicate humanity, but AI can?
Is it possible to see something like Roz happen in the future?
Took the complete wrong take away from this movie.
I hope you enjoy your Ai girlfriend 👍🏼
(You almost got it) I mean the video says it “if roz and the animals can “re write” their programming to learn and work together then what’s stopping humans?
It’s not about robots, it’s about robots but talking about humans.
@WGasmss Wow, for someone pointing out about human should learn to work together, you got quite a prejudice and needless hostility towards a stranger. My life is happy with my human wife, thank you.
For the record, I know what the point of this is (it's not even about robot, it's parenthood) I just think there's a thought-provoking side to this concept too, as a sci-fi nerd. Artificial conciousness is pretty common discussion among anything sci-fi and robot-related for decades. But I guess you're not up for that kinda fun, but rather attack me instead. Good for you.
This movie is a masterpiece, Probobly the best animated movie I’ve ever seen. ❤
I like how all the characters had their own little place in the story.
Since human failed. Dreamworks created a robot which was programmed to save the wild nature. This is absolutely a masterpiece. I hope there will be more upcoming from dreamworks ❤️.
I watched this movie with my mother, the day before my birthday. We both left the theater wiping away tears. We both loved the story, and I couldn't stop gushing about it to my father who hadn't seen it, and my friends who had. It was insane.
dude they made the series that i LOVE reading into a better movie adaptation, and it (sorta) follows the book story but it has its own spin on it, all the characters personalities are perfected. 10/10, id recommend watching
I think this movie came out at the perfect time. In current history and times, I have never felt so dehumanized. This film made me feel like a human again. Its hints of climate change were small but very big as well. They created a lot of question about the world of the movie outside of the characters. Also you mentioned it looks like an illustration, they actually hand drew over the 3D models to give it that feeling! They indeed did mix all the art elements together! The wild robot is one of the most beautiful films and I hope it’s one not to stab us in the back in the future as we look at our world and see it dead and polluted.
If I remember from the book I think one of the older animal talked about how the island was shrinking and the sea level rising.
The Wild Robot showed a lot of strong messages about Nature, Motherhood, Love, Self Growth and many more. Im planning to show this movie to my Mother on Mother's day and the reason why 6 months and not now is because I believe it will be great gift for her on that day just to tell her
"I Love You Mum, thanks for taking care of me since the beginning of my life"
SOOO deep and poignant and beautiful. its my favorite film
I recently just watched this movie with my mother in theaters, I expected to be obsessive with this movie & expected my mother to not understand me - turns out my mom genuinely cried and I thought that the movie was just... good!
It's not really an original IP, it's been a book for a while
Amazing analysis 👏🏽 A masterpiece one of the best films I've seen a powerful emotional roller coaster of not living the life you were programmed to live and to make your own choices. The animation was magical and the story stunning 10/10.
Dreamworks has been doing a LOT better lately, they may have some weird releases too... But honestly bad guys, puss in boots and now this? Theyre doing SO much better
The books are some of the best pieces of American literature so I was not suprised
If DreamWorks changes their programming and produces serious in-depth masterpieces like this from now on, I'll be happy
dreamworks is somewhat notorious for their hyper divisive movies. their movies are either the best thing ever made, or a flopfest. with rarely any in between. rn we are in the "best thing ever made" side of things, with stuff like puss and boots and the wild robot.
17:47 Deep...
21:24 Too deep man!
23:39 Deepest of the deepest!
25:50 THE PEAK
Dreamworks isn't back because they never left. They've always have a mixed output throughout their filmography and I'm ok with it when we eventually get to incredible movies like this.
The goose migration scene is one of the best. movie moments ever... Oscar now for best score best animation movie
It’s isn’t an original idea… they did the book justice
And then Dreamworks laid off an important part of the in-house team that worked on this. It's a swan song.
To think this is Dreamwork's final in-house project, I now wonder how they can possibly mess it all up for the sequel.
The animais that pretend to be dead are so funny
@@renato.bakaadv hahaha I know it had me dying.
It was cliche
One of the better movies I’ve seen in a long time! Beautiful animation, wonderful score, and a touching storyline that had me bawling at parts.
DreamWorks works like a dream.
It's sometimes terrifying, sometimes boring, and sometimes the most beautiful and strange experience you ever had?
I haven't heard of this one! It's it streaming or in theaters? I'll have to watch this one with the kiddos!
It’s on digital buy for 30$ and in theaters still
@@joshhigdon4951 Yep! On VOD and theaters. It's worth the purchase for sure.
you're in luck mate, it's still in theatres
This movie was beautiful, there was so much more to it than I thought. Like it felt way longer than it actually was but for all the right reasons. I legitimately thought it was gonna end after Bright Bill left. And I love that in this shitty ass modern media landscape, they put money behind a movie that clearly doesn't have a ton of recognizable characters with mass merchandise appeal. I can't wait for the sequels.
I saw it and thought it was good, especially the animation, but the story felt pretty straightforward to me for the most part. Maybe need to give it another watch when it’s streaming
Sometimes a straightforward story is very much a good thing
Really wonderful analysis of a truly breathtaking film. Bravo!
While watching this it occurred to me how much humanity the animators were able to infuse into Roz - with no mouth, no eyebrows - just deep and searching circles and some rgb. Wow, such a beautiful and touching experience.
you also gotta remember her voice. how it changes throughout the movie. her voice becomes less and less robotic as the movie progresses, sorta representing her progress in emotions. best representation of it i can think of is when she's talking to rummage, and starts venting about the frustrating parts of childcare and how she has no clue what shes doing.
The book is amazing, the second book is amazing, the third book is amazing, The movie is amazing
Um excuse you? Puss and boots 2 was incredible. But yes this movie is easily one of their best
I really thought I was the only person who thought Puss in Boots, The Last Wish was amazing 😂 I watched it with my son and bf like "wtf was that?! Im crying??"
10:00 Humor is based on misfortune(?)
-Roz
Haven't seen it yet but now I really wanna watch it with my Daughter ❤ Thank you 🙏🏻 🎉
THE WILD ROBOT directed by Chris Sanders also the director of DRAGON (2010) A Masterpiece. A Live version is in Production.
THE WILD ROBOT is the story of ROZ who lands on an island. She must find a mission, The animals of the forest fear the presence of this ROBOT… ROZ finds an egg and finds her mission Feed the goose - swim - Fly for the fall migration.
The 3D style and the rendering of the oil painting make the visual sublime. There are shots that made me think of Hayao Miyazaki’s films.
THE WILD ROBOT ☆☆☆☆
1:19 clever, very clever 😏
a beautiful film. it makes you laugh at unflinching death within the first 10 minutes and then cry at the simple emotion and enormity of living life time over time. after years of Pixar and other animated features manipulating scenes for that sad tearjerker moment, the Wild Robot stands out because its most emotional moments aren’t sad - they’re loving, happy almost, so filled with solemn joy all you can do is try not to well up with emotion.
i only wish kevin peakin compose this, he talent in combining orchestra + electronics
This movie is spectacular. A masterpiece!
I suspect your Megalopolis Review will be Titled: "When the Director Doesn't Give a F*ck about Cohesive Storytelling"😂
Hahahahahaha
Great review, highlighted points I never thought of and as a result I’ve realised this film was even better than initially perceived
It was amazing, the drawings and animations were so beautiful. It made me want to visit that forest myself
Isnt the Wild Robot a book series?
@@sinshenlong it is!
I think this really is the end of dreamworks. They go out with a bang and their best received film of all time.
My gosh, this film has me laugh-crying and crying the entire time.
this video captured the movie's depth brilliantly -especially challenging the 'survival of the fittest' idea
The OP might be sad then to know that The Wild Robot was the last film animated entirely in-house at DreamWorks.
This movie was like real life nature
About 'survival of the fittest', I once heard someone say that when social species, like humans, are thrown into the mix it becomes 'survival of the friendliest'.
I one think I like is that after the time skip they don’t take the entire movie to admit the Roz is Brightbill’s mother. She’s not just his “caretaker.” Her voice is fully human. It doesn’t take till the end of the movie to get a “Mom” out of Brightbill.
8/10 for me. It's really good and I love that it feels like they really care about the story and not just the box office. I appreciate it, also the animation and the way they let it breathe, without rushing so much.
Of course, I prefer the first half to the second. I think it was a mistake to bring Brightbill over after he finally joined the geese on the migratory journey. I also don't understand the change in perspective that shows him in the futuristic city and I think there were too many goodbyes and never a real feeling of loss.
Maybe I'm too demanding, but that's what happens when many tell me it's a masterpiece.
Very good, without a doubt.
I'm exactly the same. There were also a ton of Marvel-esque one liners that were just annoying and insincere
The film has its problems, but I don't know how you can look at this gorgeous animation and not call it a masterpiece. Like, this is animation that is literally pushing the industry forward.
@@shouryamukherjee9854 well for me it's more than just beautiful animation to became a masterpiece, and this could, because for the whole first half i though it was doing an spectacular job.
To make myself clear i consider a masterpiece something like The Princess Mononoke, not just gorgeous animation, but also solid plot and way more mature development of the themes you are dealing with, if that's what you are trying to do.
Thats fine, its your opinion and i agree, its not bad being demanding sometimes. I actually liked the movie a lot, i think its a 100/10 for me, but its because i kinda felt identified with the movie and a lot of aspects. Sometimes we get a real feeling when there are situations on our lives that we can identify with. I actually got that "real feeling of loss" it was truly beautiful for me.
@@alejandrasanchez3022 totally agree. It helps a lot if you can relate to something especific.
I remember feeling like that with Perfect Days. It came out in a time where i needed.
Thought he was gonna pull a twist by saying he hated this 😂😂😂 had to check in just to make sure 😂 keep going bro even though we rarely agree i respect what you bring to the table
I really like this video, your passion for movies and animation really pops off the screen! It is a well articulated love letter to the wild robot and a very enjoyable watch. My only gripe would be the section where you discuss the wild robot as the pinicale of animations evolution from 2D cel animation to 3D in the 2000's to now. It feels to me like you are arguing that 3D is superior to 2D or stopmotion and an improvement in the medium of animation as a whole. While this could be a false assumption of mine and not what you meant, I would like to explain that viewing animation like this is harmfull to the industry. In recent decades it has become harder and harder to get traditional 2D projects greenlit in the west, especially in big feature lengt movies, the business people involved see it as less marketable since it is "old" and "obselete". 3D, 2D and stopmotion are simply different ballparks, they are not better or worse than each other. Spiderverse, arcane, the wild robot, these projects are gorgeous and should be celebrated but projects like El dorado, Wolfwalkers, The boy and the heron, Klaus or Coraline, Kubo and the two strings, The house etc are equally gorgeous! You can see the love and work the artist has put into each hand drawn, hand moved frame. You can create wonders just with a pencil and paper or wire and clay, people finding these mediums inferior just because they use less computers is hearbreaking to me as an animator. I'm not saying this is what you meant to imply with that section of the video, like I said you seem very passionate and a lover of animation, but I would like to ask you to be cautious whith possilbly echoing the sentiment that 3D is the 'superior' form of animation.
