I felt the same way! The immense amount she put into raising her gosling just felt so familiar. When Long neck told her, “ You shine like new.” It really felt like he was talking to us 😢
Same. My son recently got angry and yelled "why do you always push me so hard!". I explained as best I could why but this movie showed him what I couldn't explain. He now understands that if I don't push, he wouldn't have succeeded as much as he has.
I am seeing this comment right after the scene where Fink says "If you love them you should probably tell them," and "What if it is too late?" ... "I wouldn't know"
The best thing about this movie is that it never held back on the natural order of life and death from the very beginning. It really set the stakes and made you feel like anyone in the movie could fall prey to nature at any point while still cohesively telling the story. Amazing
I came here to say this. How they handled it was fantastic. They made death very matter of fact. It was just a fact of life, so to speak, for everyone. All the creatures knew and accepted it, without lessening the impact of it. I think more kids need to be introduced to the concept of death like this.
Unfortunately that matter of fact is death also makes it mean like it’s nothing. It removed the stakes for me. It made the concept of death like it’s nothing so there’s no tension no stakes really on psychological level. This movie was good but overrated.
@@Jang9851 they showed crabs and butterflies and other animals getting eaten aka dying, as well as Brightbill’s family and Long Neck. There were stakes for sure so I definitely disagree but you’re entitled to your opinion. I also think this movie was not overrated but underrated. If any animated movie last year was overrated it was Inside Out 2. I enjoyed it but didn’t think it was INCREDIBLE. What animated movies do you love just out of curiosity?
@@ItsAlannaBanana The animals dying and eaten alive is so quick and non chalant as matter of fact, that takes away the stakes. Death is very casually addressed.

And now because I work in a different city it makes it even more difficult to meet them. Thank you Dad, Mom, I love you, stay healthy and watch your child grow up successful and I will make you happy and proud.
Longneck was an unsung hero for more than just his sacrifice. The older guy who's been there and seen it all shows up and affirms that the mama robot is doing a great job. That was huge.
another thing the movie touches on is "disabilities". Brightbill thinks that he will never be able to fly because of his smaller wings, but when the falcon looks at them he supports him by saying "beautiful"
Its weird, i feel like 5 or 6 years ago, even duds where getting promo left and right. I feel like streaming studios were like, hey theyll see it on the front page when its out so why waste money, and somehow this influenced mainstream studios. More and more things come out of the blue for me even if i feel like i keep myself up to date with media haha
Great to see this movie hold/rally well @Box Office ($234.4m worldwide on a $78m production budget) despite Universal stupidly putting it out so early on digital release!
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!
Just wanna mention that the movie is based off a book, actually a trilogy of books. Fans are saying the second one's even better than the first so I can't wait. Sequel's already been confirmed
Wasn't expecting you guys bring this reaction. I watched this film with a friend in theather and it's a great metaphore of motherhood, the animation it's amazing and also the soundtrack. I love that they didn't hide how cruel nature can be in real life. Happy halloween !!!
My favorite scene of this film that I believe is award worthy - when the gosling leaves with his new crew to fly away and the robot looks at him in both awe and melancholy at him “leaving the nest.” Great allegory/metaphor for when a kid leaves to school or college. Very impactful.
It's also a stark contrast to Rozz and her attitude in the beginning of the film. After the gosling hatches, she tries to abandon it... but this time, after she completes her task, she doesn't revert back to her programming, instead she runs after him. This shows us that she's no sentient and actually loves her son
Took my daughter to see this today, I cried quite a few times. It definitely resonates with mothers and I assume fathers. Stumbled across the trailer for it whilst watching another downloaded movie on tv. Looked it up as I thought maybe it was an old advert as hadn’t heard or seen anything about it.
I cried most of the film. I went with two of my best friends. one of them her family lives in a different country, I almost lost my mom 10 years ago to an aneurysm+stroke combo, and my other best friend lost her dad suddenly earlier this year. When Fink said at the end ”what if I want to tell you something and you’re not there?” We all started sobbing as we held onto each other. This film was beautiful.
why though? I thought this was terrible and I'm so confused about why people love it. Mind you, movies like Big Hero 6 and Lilo and Stitch make me sob like a child every time I watch them. I thought this movie was so insanely rushed and all the big important moments happened so fast for some reason. Longneck appeared out of nowhere and hand a handful of lines and BOOM migration okay bye guys then he dies... I truly don't get it..
@@xhelan131 I had the same complaints watching it even though my friends thought the length and momentum was perfect, I disagreed, that still does not lessen the emotional impact it had on me. It's the feeling of found family, the way it speaks on loss, and becoming more than what you were meant to be. Even if I do feel it was rushed to keep a child's attention span, I still think the movie is fantastic and emotional. The part I hated the most was Roz and Brightbill talking about how he came to be with Roz, because I felt it was hella rushed. Also, I laughed a lot during it because nature is brutal and its refreshing to see it reflected in a kids film.
I loved this movie so much. It had me tearing up a couple of times, in particular the endurance montage before the migration and when Roz is running with the birds to give him a boost. This was based on the first book in a trilogy of kids books so there's lots of story left. The second one is The Wild Robot Escapes and the third is The Wild Robot Protects. The director has already confirmed a sequel is in the works.
The only marketing I saw was the trailer come up as a UA-cam ad a couple times before it came out, which described it as something like "the best animated movie of the year" and I was like "huh, that sounds like an optimistic description". But having seen it, I think they were right xD
I saw no trailer for this, randomly went to the theaters to see it, and my god it was phenomenal. It makes me want to read the books. Love your reactions and Aloha from Hawai'i 🌺
I was that special needs children who florished under the love and care of present parents. I'm now living on my own in another country, have a job. Friends, I even published a story and finished writing several books. My support system made the difference. The way I cried during this movie was unreal. I'm thankful they gave us this story.
I think I like that though this is a clearly a story about motherhood/parenthood (being a central theme) it didn't go the usual route of like, a character begrudgingly becoming a parent and then in the third act climax, stepping up to the occasion. Due to the time skips, we see all the phases of it, which I think is more impactful because it really hammers home that you're never prepared. Not for any of it. Because at first, Roz rejects the idea of being a parent. Then she does it because basically it was a task assigned to her (this can be a metaphor for societal expectation). She makes a lot of mistakes, but its lighthearted, and Brightbill lives and is attached to her. By the time she's actually dedicated to being a mother, and intrinsically motivated, her mistakes are catching up with her. It's not enough to be a clumsy but earnest parent anymore. She has to do it even when its difficult. She has to accept help, find creative solutions, and deal with the resentment her own child has built up for her. Then, when they're on the same page again. When their relationship is good and maybe the hardest part is over, she has to stop. She has to let him go to be independent and discover her purpose outside of being a mother, when being a mother was literally the only thing she knew. THEN, she has a moment, a single moment after Brightbill has matured and she's gone on her own adventure where she realizes, a mother's job is truly never done. That as long as Brightbill is around, he will need her, even if it's just to come home to every now and then. When she saves him while jumping out of the ship because his wing is injured, that was the moment that secured the plot for me. Maybe your kid loses their job, drops out of college, or gets sick, etc etc. They may have been independent for years but suddenly, they need someone to lean on again, and you're the one for the job. There was truly a challenge at every step, and on every occasion Roz rose to the challenge. Not because she was built for being a mother. But because she WANTED to. No matter how ill-suited or unprepared she was, she was able to pull it off because she loved Brightbill, and she was just gonna make it work. I think that's beautiful. It combines the logic of her being a robot who will stop at nothing to fulfill her task, with the pathos of being a parent, and doing near-impossible things for your kids just because you love them. Such a well done metaphor.
AMAZING MOVIE TO REACT TO!!!! I went and saw this in the theaters THREE times. It was that good. You guys are the best for reacting to this !!! The theme and score at times is so epic and beautiful. Roz was able to replace her programming with her heart ❤️
This movie was made by the same people that did How to Train Your Dragon, which is why the visuals in flight are so good. They excel at characters who learn and become more charming over time, having written Toothless and Stitch (of Lilo and Stitch). The animation here is gorgeous, and the color theory used in the contrasting colors is phenomenal. I loved this film when I saw it in theaters, and I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
I cried so much at this when I saw it in theaters. And now I'm over here crying at the migration scene again where she catches Brightbill's feather. Ugh, my heart. Beautiful movie

Watched this with a friend of mine and his kid then as soon as I left I called my mom and asked if she wanted to come the following week and watch it with me. Absolutely loved it.
This movie is part of a book series. This is the first book. My daughter said it required to read in school. My husband and I took our daughter to the theater. She could stop talking about the book. At the theater, all children ranged from elementary students to high school students. When I tell you that every child was crying in the theater. All of the adults were baffled and yet felt emotional of all the kids reaction
I saw this at a drive in theater. Such a fun experience! This movie just proves that AI doesn’t belong in art. The music, visuals, talent, direction it went in was great and was all made from a team who loves animation. It’s a coming of age story that focuses on both the parents and child’s perspective and I think that’s what makes the story feel so unique yet familiar!
Watching this in the cinema, but especially the scene where the flock takes off for the winter for the first time, was definitely a one of a kind experience. Such a beautiful film. So happy to see you guys reacting to this!!
lupita and Pedro were amazing in this, and shout out to Chris Saunders for once again making us fall in love with non human characters (Chris was behind Lilo and Sitch, How to train your dragon etc) I loved the book and i love the film, made me call my mum after coming out from seeing it for the first time
Chris Sanders Strikes Again. Another masterpiece from the director of Lilo&Stitch and HTTYD Trilogy! The Wild Robot is not the movie we deserved, but still the movie we needed!

@@xhelan131 so people can't love it if they can relate to it in some way? i don't care whether its rushed or not, it was a good film. its your opinion so don't try to talk it out with someone who genuinely likes it. not everyone has the same taste as you
@kiki05dc ...? I can talk to anyone whenever I feel like it thanks. You're putting words in my mouth for no reason. I'm truly just fascinated at how completely different other people's experience of this film was. Chill out.
Y'all have no idea how hard it was for me to keep it together watching this in the theater. The one thing I was thankful for was that I couldn't afford to take my mom to see it like I had planned.

@@xhelan131 I like movies about animals and nature. It also seemed a bit deeper than some of the more mindless movies put out today. Not everyone has to like it, but I did.
I was expecting Roz to “die” at least 3 times in this movie and I’m glad that didn’t happen. Even with the happy ending I still got teary eyed multiple times
39:04 The level of relief MQ has at the end makes me think we have made a wonderful job traumatizing you all 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Beautiful movie, amazing reaction, thanks for taking the time to do this one guys!
Now that you guys have mentioned it, it is true that I didn't even see any trailers or marketing for this film. The only reason why I heard about it is bc I'm a big fan of Kit Connor (he's a main character of Heartstopper which I love, highly recommend btw!) who voices BrightBill - I saw a short behind-the-scenes clip of him and the others filming in the studio that was either posted by himself or a fan account. But I kind of forgot about it until I went to the theaters and saw that it was out. And I was curious bc I was starting to see a couple of reaction videos floating around. But this was just an incredible film. The animation was phenomenal, and the story was extremely emotional. I literally cried 3 separate times. It was funny bc the first time I felt the tears coming was during BrightBill's training montage - there was just something about the music, their determination, and Roz's unwavering dedication. It was so heartwarming to see, but I was kinda confused as to why I felt like crying bc it was a relatively uplifting montage... until I heard my friend whisper next to me "oh my god I'm gonna cry" and then I was like lol okay cool it's not just me, anddd cue the tears haha. Anyway, I def think this is one of my new favorite animated movies. I think there is something in there for everyone, and it just has so much heart and plenty of valuable lessons. Thank you for yet another great reaction, I couldn't have clicked on this video fast enough!
This movie pulled at my heartstrings with emotional moments "where his wings end, his heart can pay the balance" Brightbill at end "I love you mum" Roz wakes up "I love you too" bought a tear to my eye 🥲 but my emotions were left feeling warm & fuzzy from that happy ending & liked how relieved Quinn was about that too! A truly magical, & beautifully made movie & yes Diamond Dave I got WallE vibes too through the 1st part, like when Roz is in 'learning mode" & how I knew about this movie was when ya posted for us YT Members titled "surprise!" & what a wonderful surprise it was! Thank you for this emotional & uplifting experience BM! ❤🤗 & loved the Johnny5 Short Circuit reference, I think ya all could watch Short Circuit2 on brand new monitors to experience it in crystal clear quality for the channel hehe 😅
About to watch this! So excited but devastated Answer isn’t here, I KNOW he would have loved this film. He definitely would have teared up!! Hope he’s all good though! Sending you all some love, can’t wait to tuck in, one of the best films of the year for sure
It honestly makes sense the blaster robots were so easily dispatched. They likely were made with little defense or durability as the humans who designed them assumed the blasters would be enough to handle anything so skimped out on protective steps.
I cant believe I was this late to this movie. I did see the trailer a while ago but I agree the marketing was miniscule. The second half of this movie had me scared, wondering when they were going to drop the hurt. I like MQs description of body shots that was a perfect parallel. They had so many chances to break your heart but they chose not to, but still maintaining the heart of the movie. The references that got me were Boston Dynamics Atlas update, and though this was before, Tesla's Optimus serving drinks like they showed a Roz doing. Shout out to Chris Sanders the director he did story on Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, and Mulan he also directed How to Train Your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch(still waiting on that reaction😉, if you loved this you'll love that), great movie I also highly recommend.
I think it sucks that this film didn't get strong marketing, it has a lot of heart and it's definitely super refreshing seeing a movie like this when there's so many sequels and stuff. From the animation to the music and the story, this movie was so great, I sobbed like a baby
Whats interesting about the programming line, animals are technically programmed by their survival instincts and you can tame animal so it can get really close i feel like. I love too the fact they picked a runt, "youre family dying is what made you live".. 😮💨 this movie not only is beautiful visually but story wise too, such an interesting plot i tought. Loved to see you guys jump in on it, great video as always, keep it up guys 😁
Took my mom to see this in the theater and I loved it, so many memorable moments and so many great lines. This is a movie that's hard to dislike. It's one of the easiest 5's I've ever given a movie. So great to see you guys react to it. I hope The Answer watches it too.
If you guys have seen Short Ciruit, you MUST see Chappie. It's made by the same guy as District 9, and has the same actor as the main character from District 9 as well. Hugh Jackman is in it, and Sigourney Weaver! It's a fantastic film! Makes me think of a modern day Short Circuit, with ALOT more grit meant for adults.
Those animals became like friends at the end...its gonna stink for the predators that have to eat them to survive. I wish I could revert back to my childhood brain, where I could watch vartoons and movies without putting real life into it. Man....lol
I cried at least 5 times while watching this in the cinema, and I'm crying again watching this reaction. The things I would do to rewatch this again for the first time
I only remember seeing one trailer for this. I thought it looked cute, but was waiting for it to come out on digital before I watched it. When I saw that both it's scores on Fandango was 98%, I thought it might be worth a look. I had planned on renting it to watch, but when I saw who directed it, I instantly bought it. I finally got around to watching it earlier tonight and I can not remember a movie that made me cry so much. Such a great movie
saw this at the theater on a lark yesterday and i’m so glad i was the only weirdo watching a movie at 3:45 on a monday because i did actually cry quite a lot. really lovely story and it’s just so visually stunning
Ever since Spider Verse, I love how studios have just let loose with art styles. They definitely had Puss in Boots vibes in terms of animation art this movie and I love it
When Roz showed fink her power unit it was busted and sparking then she said she relied on her solar pannel and batteries. So even without her power unit and solar pannel she still has power because of her battery. 37:00
I'm most impressed that you guys actually avoided watching something horror related just because your felt like you were supposed to today, like every other youtube reactor. And most of those hacks watched horror, even the bad stuff all month long, it makes October my least favorite month fo watching reactions. But you didn't do that....Nice job, gentlemen
Such an amazing movie. I was so excited about it as soon as I saw the trailer. My brother took me as a birthday present and I LOVED it. If this doesn’t take home an Oscar, I’m gonna be pissed.
I had asked my mom if she’d heard about it yet and she said No, we’re both big Disney fans, I’m really surprised how badly they marketed this, but how amazing it’s doing. Can’t really name my favorite moment, but I loved watching you guys feel the feelings ❤
@@ThumblessJew I know a lot of people probably aren’t gonna agree with me but for me the best animated studio is better when it comes to movies is easily DreamWorks they came up with a hand to train your Dragon Trilogy the kung fu panda Trilogy puss in boots the last wish the Shrek trilogy and now the wild robot
@@keyblox925 I would say Dreamworks is more consistent than Disney. Disney still has my all time favorite animated movies, but Disney also releases slop sometimes. Dreamworks is almost always great.
Legit one of the best animated movies ever made and I've seen many of them from allover the world. I saw it twice in the theater and each time couldn't stop crying for several minutes after the movie ended.
Me and my mom watched this movie last Saturday after I only saw the trailer for it. It's been a while since I cried in the theatre... EVERYTHING abt this movie was beautiful. The characters, the story, the art, the message and the music. I absolutely love it and it's one of my top 3 movies this year ❤ I cried again during your reaction 😅😂
It's interesting how the marketing works. I saw the marketing for this movie EVERYWHERE. I've been looking forward to this movie for months. And when I saw it was available for streaming after just a few weeks in theater, I was super nervous that it wasn''t going to be good. I'm glad I was wrong. I ended up crying watching it, but I cry in a lot of movies. Glad you guys seemed to really enjoy it too!
I have been watching so many reactions that I had to rent it and watch it with my dad… I still cried. I feel like for the marketing, i kept seeing it pop up on UA-cam but i think i also saw some on TV
I didn't see any advertising for this movie at all. I booked tickets online as a surprise for my little boys as there weren't many good kids movies out in the theaters for a while. When I mentioned the name, they said they had read the book at school. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this movie and I cried through most of it.
This was a really good film and the animation was fantastic. Did anyone else feel like this didn't have strong marketing? How did you hear about this film? What was your reaction?

Saw the marketing on Twitter, saw it in Theaters, incredible movie!
Saw the teaser on tiktok and fell in love eith it
I feel like in recent years marketing for movies has really gone downhill, probably due to streaming services.
I found out about via youtube shorts. Had NO idea what it was.
Do react to Turning Red and Alita: Battle Angel PLEASE!!!!
As a mom of a child with special needs.. this movie hit sooo hard. Left the movie theater with a wet face and a warm heart
I felt the same way! The immense amount she put into raising her gosling just felt so familiar. When Long neck told her, “ You shine like new.” It really felt like he was talking to us 😢
@@a.h.1980 real
Both my daughter and I have autism, and we were bawling in the theater. She looked at me and said someone finally gets it.
@@stephaniemajors7697 awww how sweet 🥰 she sees how much time and effort you put into her :)
Same. My son recently got angry and yelled "why do you always push me so hard!". I explained as best I could why but this movie showed him what I couldn't explain. He now understands that if I don't push, he wouldn't have succeeded as much as he has.
“What if I need to tell you something?…” is the line that absolutely broke me 😭
yup tears
Yes!
His first real friend😭
It absolutely wrecked me
I am seeing this comment right after the scene where Fink says "If you love them you should probably tell them," and "What if it is too late?" ... "I wouldn't know"
"Fly like you. not like them." "Well, you shine like new." Legit.

Movie being overrated thats my subjective take, because it depends on how much you bond with the robot and Brightbill's dynamic which is more accessible for parents. I have filmmaking reasons why it doesn't work and some plot undercutting which take it away. These are all simple filmmaking 101 flaws in the film.
To each their own however.
I love How to Train Your Dragon trilogy. I think its not just arguably one of the greatest animated trilogies, but one of the greatest trilogies period. One half of the director made The Wild Robot I was so excited, and I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. Its a very good movie, but not a great one.
Aladdin, Mulan, Toy Story Trilogy. A Bug's Life. Up, Spirited Away, Finding Nemo.
Inside Out 2 was better than 1, and yes Inside Out 2 was better than The Wild Robot, the themes are more universal more accessible with a much more clever screen play. The Wild Robot is predictable with narrative that's derivative from a lot of other stories and movies, this part isn't opinion its fact. Now my perception of it is subjective and only an opinion.
TRUST ME I WISH I ENJOYED THIS ALOT MORE. I wish i enjoyed it like you did.
Took my little baby to see this .. did not expect to be glued to the screen as I was! 🔥
YOOOOOOO B! This was really good. The Animation was incredible. Odd this didn't have better marketing, it definitely deserved it.
Randomly watched this after Transformers one... It was so good!
I am an adopted son and this movie really relates to me, I remember when I went to college and had to stay away from them and come back home only during the holidays. And now because I work in a different city it makes it even more difficult to meet them. Thank you Dad, Mom, I love you, stay healthy and watch your child grow up successful and I will make you happy and proud.
Aww hope your family happy and fulfilling years. And I'm working hard now so that I can adopt and hope to give a happy life to my child 😊
Longneck was an unsung hero for more than just his sacrifice. The older guy who's been there and seen it all shows up and affirms that the mama robot is doing a great job. That was huge.
another thing the movie touches on is "disabilities". Brightbill thinks that he will never be able to fly because of his smaller wings, but when the falcon looks at them he supports him by saying "beautiful"
This was awesome, and criminally underrated to warrant such little marketing.
Its weird, i feel like 5 or 6 years ago, even duds where getting promo left and right. I feel like streaming studios were like, hey theyll see it on the front page when its out so why waste money, and somehow this influenced mainstream studios. More and more things come out of the blue for me even if i feel like i keep myself up to date with media haha
it's funny because it was heavily marketed in my country, especially in my city. And we never get too much marketing for movies 😄
Actions speak better then words.
Great to see this movie hold/rally well @Box Office ($234.4m worldwide on a $78m production budget) despite Universal stupidly putting it out so early on digital release!

"I have everything i need" 😭😭
"but you can call me roz"😭😭😭😭😭😭
Wasn't expecting you guys bring this reaction. I watched this film with a friend in theather and it's a great metaphore of motherhood, the animation it's amazing and also the soundtrack. I love that they didn't hide how cruel nature can be in real life. Happy halloween !!!
I finally realized that when Roz says it's impossible for her to hear Brightbill in the vacuum of space, it's comedic foreshadowing to the ending.
Wait really??
The movie that is based on the book is referencing something later on the movie is doing from the book it provides?
"Little sad, but otherwise okay" is my new favourite saying. 😅
Fun fact! Every single shot of this movie is hand-painted. They then added 3d foliage and some 3d trees for extra depth and the 3d characters.
Fantastic movie. Pedro Pascal and Mark Hamill! Perfect casting all around, animation is so good and the story was very creative.
My favorite scene of this film that I believe is award worthy - when the gosling leaves with his new crew to fly away and the robot looks at him in both awe and melancholy at him “leaving the nest.”
Great allegory/metaphor for when a kid leaves to school or college. Very impactful.
It's also a stark contrast to Rozz and her attitude in the beginning of the film. After the gosling hatches, she tries to abandon it... but this time, after she completes her task, she doesn't revert back to her programming, instead she runs after him.
This shows us that she's no sentient and actually loves her son
I saw this movie at the cinema yesterday and i cried a lot! WHAT A FANTASTIC STORY! 😭💖🔥
This movie turned me into an absolute mess, my gosh do I need the art book for this! Gorgeous 10/10 and loved how morbid some of the humour was 😂
Took my daughter to see this today, I cried quite a few times. It definitely resonates with mothers and I assume fathers.
Stumbled across the trailer for it whilst watching another downloaded movie on tv. Looked it up as I thought maybe it was an old advert as hadn’t heard or seen anything about it.
“Fly like you, not like them.” 🥹
I cried most of the film. I went with two of my best friends. one of them her family lives in a different country, I almost lost my mom 10 years ago to an aneurysm+stroke combo, and my other best friend lost her dad suddenly earlier this year. When Fink said at the end ”what if I want to tell you something and you’re not there?” We all started sobbing as we held onto each other. This film was beautiful.
why though? I thought this was terrible and I'm so confused about why people love it. Mind you, movies like Big Hero 6 and Lilo and Stitch make me sob like a child every time I watch them. I thought this movie was so insanely rushed and all the big important moments happened so fast for some reason. Longneck appeared out of nowhere and hand a handful of lines and BOOM migration okay bye guys then he dies...
I truly don't get it..
@@xhelan131 I had the same complaints watching it even though my friends thought the length and momentum was perfect, I disagreed, that still does not lessen the emotional impact it had on me. It's the feeling of found family, the way it speaks on loss, and becoming more than what you were meant to be. Even if I do feel it was rushed to keep a child's attention span, I still think the movie is fantastic and emotional. The part I hated the most was Roz and Brightbill talking about how he came to be with Roz, because I felt it was hella rushed. Also, I laughed a lot during it because nature is brutal and its refreshing to see it reflected in a kids film.
🫂
I loved this movie so much. It had me tearing up a couple of times, in particular the endurance montage before the migration and when Roz is running with the birds to give him a boost. This was based on the first book in a trilogy of kids books so there's lots of story left. The second one is The Wild Robot Escapes and the third is The Wild Robot Protects. The director has already confirmed a sequel is in the works.
The only marketing I saw was the trailer come up as a UA-cam ad a couple times before it came out, which described it as something like "the best animated movie of the year" and I was like "huh, that sounds like an optimistic description". But having seen it, I think they were right xD
Same, But I thought it was gonna be a dreamworks regular 😅
I saw no trailer for this, randomly went to the theaters to see it, and my god it was phenomenal. It makes me want to read the books. Love your reactions and Aloha from Hawai'i 🌺
I was that special needs children who florished under the love and care of present parents. I'm now living on my own in another country, have a job. Friends, I even published a story and finished writing several books. My support system made the difference.
The way I cried during this movie was unreal. I'm thankful they gave us this story.
I think I like that though this is a clearly a story about motherhood/parenthood (being a central theme) it didn't go the usual route of like, a character begrudgingly becoming a parent and then in the third act climax, stepping up to the occasion.
Due to the time skips, we see all the phases of it, which I think is more impactful because it really hammers home that you're never prepared. Not for any of it.
Because at first, Roz rejects the idea of being a parent. Then she does it because basically it was a task assigned to her (this can be a metaphor for societal expectation). She makes a lot of mistakes, but its lighthearted, and Brightbill lives and is attached to her. By the time she's actually dedicated to being a mother, and intrinsically motivated, her mistakes are catching up with her. It's not enough to be a clumsy but earnest parent anymore. She has to do it even when its difficult. She has to accept help, find creative solutions, and deal with the resentment her own child has built up for her.
Then, when they're on the same page again. When their relationship is good and maybe the hardest part is over, she has to stop. She has to let him go to be independent and discover her purpose outside of being a mother, when being a mother was literally the only thing she knew.
THEN, she has a moment, a single moment after Brightbill has matured and she's gone on her own adventure where she realizes, a mother's job is truly never done. That as long as Brightbill is around, he will need her, even if it's just to come home to every now and then. When she saves him while jumping out of the ship because his wing is injured, that was the moment that secured the plot for me. Maybe your kid loses their job, drops out of college, or gets sick, etc etc. They may have been independent for years but suddenly, they need someone to lean on again, and you're the one for the job.
There was truly a challenge at every step, and on every occasion Roz rose to the challenge. Not because she was built for being a mother. But because she WANTED to. No matter how ill-suited or unprepared she was, she was able to pull it off because she loved Brightbill, and she was just gonna make it work. I think that's beautiful. It combines the logic of her being a robot who will stop at nothing to fulfill her task, with the pathos of being a parent, and doing near-impossible things for your kids just because you love them. Such a well done metaphor.
AMAZING MOVIE TO REACT TO!!!! I went and saw this in the theaters THREE times. It was that good. You guys are the best for reacting to this !!! The theme and score at times is so epic and beautiful. Roz was able to replace her programming with her heart ❤️
This movie was made by the same people that did How to Train Your Dragon, which is why the visuals in flight are so good. They excel at characters who learn and become more charming over time, having written Toothless and Stitch (of Lilo and Stitch). The animation here is gorgeous, and the color theory used in the contrasting colors is phenomenal. I loved this film when I saw it in theaters, and I'm glad you enjoyed it too!
This movie was by the same studio that made Puss in Boots:The Last Wish! You can tell by the animation style, especially with the eyes of the animals
“hey have u watc-“
badd medicine: yes
I cried so much at this when I saw it in theaters. And now I'm over here crying at the migration scene again where she catches Brightbill's feather. Ugh, my heart. Beautiful movie

Watched this with a friend of mine and his kid then as soon as I left I called my mom and asked if she wanted to come the following week and watch it with me. Absolutely loved it.
i legit thought Fink is voiced by Jason Bateman, until i looked it up and it was Pedro Pascal, like.... whaaaaaaat ?! 🤯♥️
This movie is part of a book series. This is the first book. My daughter said it required to read in school. My husband and I took our daughter to the theater. She could stop talking about the book. At the theater, all children ranged from elementary students to high school students. When I tell you that every child was crying in the theater. All of the adults were baffled and yet felt emotional of all the kids reaction
You guys are much more manly than I am. I've cried everytime I've watched this movie and even teared up watching it again here
I saw this at a drive in theater. Such a fun experience! This movie just proves that AI doesn’t belong in art. The music, visuals, talent, direction it went in was great and was all made from a team who loves animation. It’s a coming of age story that focuses on both the parents and child’s perspective and I think that’s what makes the story feel so unique yet familiar!
Watching this in the cinema, but especially the scene where the flock takes off for the winter for the first time, was definitely a one of a kind experience. Such a beautiful film. So happy to see you guys reacting to this!!
lupita and Pedro were amazing in this, and shout out to Chris Saunders for once again making us fall in love with non human characters (Chris was behind Lilo and Sitch, How to train your dragon etc)
I loved the book and i love the film, made me call my mum after coming out from seeing it for the first time
Chris Sanders Strikes Again. Another masterpiece from the director of Lilo&Stitch and HTTYD Trilogy!
The Wild Robot is not the movie we deserved, but still the movie we needed!
this has to be one of the best movies I've seen so far, was such a tear jerker! 😭

@@xhelan131 so people can't love it if they can relate to it in some way? i don't care whether its rushed or not, it was a good film. its your opinion so don't try to talk it out with someone who genuinely likes it. not everyone has the same taste as you
@kiki05dc ...? I can talk to anyone whenever I feel like it thanks. You're putting words in my mouth for no reason. I'm truly just fascinated at how completely different other people's experience of this film was. Chill out.
Go watch pokemon@@xhelan131
@@xhelan131RUSHED? They’ve been working on this since like 2017 around when how to train your dragon 3 came out It’s been an animation for years.
Saw this yesterday and my soul badly needed this kind of movie and im happy to rewatch it with you guys
this movie is the best animated one i've seen this year so far... such a beautiful one
Y'all have no idea how hard it was for me to keep it together watching this in the theater. The one thing I was thankful for was that I couldn't afford to take my mom to see it like I had planned.
I clicked so fast lol
This has to be one of my favorite animated films of all time!

@@xhelan131 I like movies about animals and nature. It also seemed a bit deeper than some of the more mindless movies put out today. Not everyone has to like it, but I did.
I was expecting Roz to “die” at least 3 times in this movie and I’m glad that didn’t happen. Even with the happy ending I still got teary eyed multiple times
39:04
The level of relief MQ has at the end makes me think we have made a wonderful job traumatizing you all 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful movie, amazing reaction, thanks for taking the time to do this one guys!
Now that you guys have mentioned it, it is true that I didn't even see any trailers or marketing for this film. The only reason why I heard about it is bc I'm a big fan of Kit Connor (he's a main character of Heartstopper which I love, highly recommend btw!) who voices BrightBill - I saw a short behind-the-scenes clip of him and the others filming in the studio that was either posted by himself or a fan account. But I kind of forgot about it until I went to the theaters and saw that it was out. And I was curious bc I was starting to see a couple of reaction videos floating around.
But this was just an incredible film. The animation was phenomenal, and the story was extremely emotional. I literally cried 3 separate times. It was funny bc the first time I felt the tears coming was during BrightBill's training montage - there was just something about the music, their determination, and Roz's unwavering dedication. It was so heartwarming to see, but I was kinda confused as to why I felt like crying bc it was a relatively uplifting montage... until I heard my friend whisper next to me "oh my god I'm gonna cry" and then I was like lol okay cool it's not just me, anddd cue the tears haha.
Anyway, I def think this is one of my new favorite animated movies. I think there is something in there for everyone, and it just has so much heart and plenty of valuable lessons. Thank you for yet another great reaction, I couldn't have clicked on this video fast enough!
Sometimes the simpler stories are the more enjoyable ones.
I love the Mom and Dad Duo for bright bill, and the elfer Duck that became his mentor.
I recently watched it and loved it, thank you Guys for the consistency. Great reaction as always.
Please please please add ‘Klaus’ from Netflix to your Christmas watchlist. You boys will definitely have a great time and has a great meaning ❤
this was a delight in the cinema. the painterly style is beautiful
I had never heard of this film before and this was amazing! Thanks for introducing me to it
I cried so many times during this movie it was beautiful!!! Definitely one of my favourite animation movies! Loved the reaction as always!
I can't believe I missed Lupita Nyongo and Pedro Pascals voices
This movie pulled at my heartstrings with emotional moments "where his wings end, his heart can pay the balance" Brightbill at end "I love you mum" Roz wakes up "I love you too" bought a tear to my eye 🥲 but my emotions were left feeling warm & fuzzy from that happy ending & liked how relieved Quinn was about that too! A truly magical, & beautifully made movie & yes Diamond Dave I got WallE vibes too through the 1st part, like when Roz is in 'learning mode" & how I knew about this movie was when ya posted for us YT Members titled "surprise!" & what a wonderful surprise it was! Thank you for this emotional & uplifting experience BM! ❤🤗 & loved the Johnny5 Short Circuit reference, I think ya all could watch Short Circuit2 on brand new monitors to experience it in crystal clear quality for the channel hehe 😅
just such a heart warming movie, 10/10, absolutely love it everytime i rewatch it
About to watch this! So excited but devastated Answer isn’t here, I KNOW he would have loved this film. He definitely would have teared up!! Hope he’s all good though! Sending you all some love, can’t wait to tuck in, one of the best films of the year for sure
It honestly makes sense the blaster robots were so easily dispatched. They likely were made with little defense or durability as the humans who designed them assumed the blasters would be enough to handle anything so skimped out on protective steps.
Gave my mom a big hug after seeing this!
I cant believe I was this late to this movie. I did see the trailer a while ago but I agree the marketing was miniscule. The second half of this movie had me scared, wondering when they were going to drop the hurt. I like MQs description of body shots that was a perfect parallel. They had so many chances to break your heart but they chose not to, but still maintaining the heart of the movie. The references that got me were Boston Dynamics Atlas update, and though this was before, Tesla's Optimus serving drinks like they showed a Roz doing. Shout out to Chris Sanders the director he did story on Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King, and Mulan he also directed How to Train Your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch(still waiting on that reaction😉, if you loved this you'll love that), great movie I also highly recommend.
We haven’t seen anything like it in a while. I loved it ❤
4:24 THAT WAS MY CHILDHOOD !!!!!!!!!!
🤖
"Johny-5 ALIVE!"
Turns out the bedtime story scene was hand painted then animated
I think it sucks that this film didn't get strong marketing, it has a lot of heart and it's definitely super refreshing seeing a movie like this when there's so many sequels and stuff. From the animation to the music and the story, this movie was so great, I sobbed like a baby
Oh yeah I loved this They should’ve marked this so much better. Two trades did come out but I feel like it just didn’t get spread enough.
Love y’all been binge watching your channel
Whats interesting about the programming line, animals are technically programmed by their survival instincts and you can tame animal so it can get really close i feel like. I love too the fact they picked a runt, "youre family dying is what made you live".. 😮💨 this movie not only is beautiful visually but story wise too, such an interesting plot i tought. Loved to see you guys jump in on it, great video as always, keep it up guys 😁
Saw the trailer passing in my recommendations on youtube, from then on I was keeping an eye out for it.
Took my mom to see this in the theater and I loved it, so many memorable moments and so many great lines. This is a movie that's hard to dislike. It's one of the easiest 5's I've ever given a movie. So great to see you guys react to it. I hope The Answer watches it too.
If you guys have seen Short Ciruit, you MUST see Chappie. It's made by the same guy as District 9, and has the same actor as the main character from District 9 as well. Hugh Jackman is in it, and Sigourney Weaver! It's a fantastic film! Makes me think of a modern day Short Circuit, with ALOT more grit meant for adults.
I never thought I'd cry because of robots in my life, and now I'm crying😢
Those animals became like friends at the end...its gonna stink for the predators that have to eat them to survive. I wish I could revert back to my childhood brain, where I could watch vartoons and movies without putting real life into it. Man....lol
I cried at least 5 times while watching this in the cinema, and I'm crying again watching this reaction. The things I would do to rewatch this again for the first time
I only remember seeing one trailer for this. I thought it looked cute, but was waiting for it to come out on digital before I watched it. When I saw that both it's scores on Fandango was 98%, I thought it might be worth a look. I had planned on renting it to watch, but when I saw who directed it, I instantly bought it. I finally got around to watching it earlier tonight and I can not remember a movie that made me cry so much. Such a great movie
Been waiting for this reaction… thank you for making me whole entire day
saw this at the theater on a lark yesterday and i’m so glad i was the only weirdo watching a movie at 3:45 on a monday because i did actually cry quite a lot. really lovely story and it’s just so visually stunning
Ever since Spider Verse, I love how studios have just let loose with art styles. They definitely had Puss in Boots vibes in terms of animation art this movie and I love it
I just watched this movie with my eldest and youngest while crying the entire time. This touched my mommy heart!
I don't remember how many times I cried during this movie. From sadness, love, excitement. It was breathtaking and lovely and just right in the feels
I took my mom to see this in theaters, I cried 4 times
When Roz showed fink her power unit it was busted and sparking then she said she relied on her solar pannel and batteries. So even without her power unit and solar pannel she still has power because of her battery.
37:00
I saw this movie yesterday and was able to meet the director, composer, and Lupita Nyong’o. Such a wonderful film made by wonderful people.
I'm most impressed that you guys actually avoided watching something horror related just because your felt like you were supposed to today, like every other youtube reactor. And most of those hacks watched horror, even the bad stuff all month long, it makes October my least favorite month fo watching reactions. But you didn't do that....Nice job, gentlemen
Agreed. These are way better. God bless.
Such an amazing movie. I was so excited about it as soon as I saw the trailer. My brother took me as a birthday present and I LOVED it. If this doesn’t take home an Oscar, I’m gonna be pissed.
My absolute fav animated movie ive ever seen
I had asked my mom if she’d heard about it yet and she said No, we’re both big Disney fans, I’m really surprised how badly they marketed this, but how amazing it’s doing. Can’t really name my favorite moment, but I loved watching you guys feel the feelings ❤
The movie was made by Dreamworks though
It's not a Disney movie, it's Dreamworks. They've been killing it lately with their beautiful, animated movies as of late.
@@ThumblessJew I know a lot of people probably aren’t gonna agree with me but for me the best animated studio is better when it comes to movies is easily DreamWorks they came up with a hand to train your Dragon Trilogy the kung fu panda Trilogy puss in boots the last wish the Shrek trilogy and now the wild robot
@@keyblox925 I would say Dreamworks is more consistent than Disney. Disney still has my all time favorite animated movies, but Disney also releases slop sometimes.
Dreamworks is almost always great.
Legit one of the best animated movies ever made and I've seen many of them from allover the world. I saw it twice in the theater and each time couldn't stop crying for several minutes after the movie ended.
Me and my mom watched this movie last Saturday after I only saw the trailer for it. It's been a while since I cried in the theatre...
EVERYTHING abt this movie was beautiful. The characters, the story, the art, the message and the music. I absolutely love it and it's one of my top 3 movies this year ❤
I cried again during your reaction 😅😂
Oh my goshh!!😭I literally got sooo excited as I saw the notification
It's interesting how the marketing works. I saw the marketing for this movie EVERYWHERE. I've been looking forward to this movie for months. And when I saw it was available for streaming after just a few weeks in theater, I was super nervous that it wasn''t going to be good. I'm glad I was wrong. I ended up crying watching it, but I cry in a lot of movies. Glad you guys seemed to really enjoy it too!
This movie was absolutely charming and endearing. So happy to see you react to it
I have been watching so many reactions that I had to rent it and watch it with my dad… I still cried. I feel like for the marketing, i kept seeing it pop up on UA-cam but i think i also saw some on TV
Fink the fox always eats clams & Brightbill is such adorable gosling is my favorites character
I didn't see any advertising for this movie at all. I booked tickets online as a surprise for my little boys as there weren't many good kids movies out in the theaters for a while. When I mentioned the name, they said they had read the book at school. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this movie and I cried through most of it.
