    Saturday I was able to see The Wild Robot at Fantastic Fest. Here is what I thought.
    There's no trailer footage in this video because it's a Universal film and Universal has started to fraudulently claim anything they can. So I won't be using footage from Universal films until this stops.

    As an intern who worked on the cameras in this film, this is so incredible to hear from you!! Thank you so much for your kind words and even if you hated the film, I still would’ve loved this video! And just some bts for the cinematography in this film: Spielberg was definitely one of our inspirations camera-wise, with the shot of Roz falling down the cliff has her headlights shine through the forrest being coined by Sanders as the “Spielberg shot” during our feedback sessions for that sequence! And Nolan too as many of our flying sequences were directly inspired by Dunkirk! We even watched Dunkirk at the theater on DW Campus haha! Anyways, thanks again for your thoughtful critique!! Loved how much you connected with this and how well you described the themes we were going for!! Even as someone who worked on it, I can’t believe the movie is real haha!!

You guys have made a 10/10 masterpiece that is easily 1 of your best movies and it might personally become my favorite film of the year. Gorgeous and creative animation, well-written and likeable characters, amazing soundtrack, etc. Not a single bad thing I can say about it. Easily the best animated film of the year, and I don't think anything will beat it. I'm rooting for you guys to win Best Animated Feature at The Oscars and to hopefully get a Best Picture nomination. Congratulations and thank you so much for your hard work!

    12:03 I can answer this- it’s better addressed in the book the movie is adapted from, but the “Truce” only happens within the hut during hibernation. Whenever an animal goes outside the hut, they are fair game. The movie Disney-fied this a bit towards the end with “you know I’ll be chasing you again tomorrow- just kidding!” But the resolution is mainly the same- which is why they show you the next winter. But when spring arrives, the animals will continue with the circle of life.

    Funny theater story:
    When I went to see Wild Robot tonight, the trailers were pretty typical.
    Paddington 3
    Moana 2
    Wicked...
    And then a very odd movie trailer started playing. "Directed by Luc Besson..." I didn't recognize anything going on, but the trailer did seem a bit advanced for the family audience.
    The trailer?.....Luc Besson's "Dogman..." Yes, the R rated movie. Guessing theater screwed up and accidentally put THAT Dogman trailer instead of the Dreamworks Dogman trailer.

    Oh yeah, I watched this today here in the UK. Went to a 12 oclock showing and wow it was a masterpiece! Transformers One and Inside Out 2 said hello to another incredible animated piece of cinema. Also just to understand: I saw only a segment of the trailer as a preview before my Monday 14th October showing of Transformers One. So.. the surprises came in waves and so they did! And also your review is amazing. Says a lot when theres been little to no negative reviews, as far as I have seen. There's also the fact I saw by myself but even not sharing an experience with family or a friend, and just the crowd that did attend anyways it was amazing.

    The Wild Robot is one of the most emotional movies I've ever scene. DreamWorks has once again absolutely cooked.
    The animation is incredibly vibrant, gorgeous and unique.
    The characters are all charming and very well developed especially Pedro Pascals finks character.
    The score is simply phenomenal. It enhances the emotion of each scene it's used in.
    It's SO emotional from start to finish. I well up 5, 6 times throughout.
    It explores many themes and the story is so beautiful and profound as well as being powerful, emotional and inspiring.
    I really appreciate how it showed us the humans and how they have ruined the earth but it doesn't focus on that all.
    I didn't find the first 20 mins as engaging as the rest but that's very minor. I still enjoyed it and the rest of the movie blew me away. Can't wait to watch it again.

    The first trailer was pretty unimpressive. I really like the last trailer. It looked charming/cute. So, if I’m excited.
    Good to hear it is that good. Better than Inside Out 2? That is a challenging task. Hope it is that for me too.
    Dream work animations are decent. Not on level with early Pixar, but I love the Shrek and How To Train Your Dragon sets of movies.

    Loved the movie. Shocked by how good it was. Spoilers- My only gripes were why were the other robots so unnecessarily aggressive and I didn’t like where Rozz ended up at the end. It cheapened her character growth and wasn’t what she set out to do. It made it into a sad ending for me where nothing changes when it could’ve been a more hopeful one. But maybe it’s more realistic that way.

      This is the case with every fairytale story turned movie or even bigger book movies such as Harry Potter, the maze runner, or ready player one. The reality is things sometimes need to be different to create a flowing movie rather than following a book that may have had way more details or read time. For what it’s worth, the movie was amazing and I absolutely loved it even compared to its book counterpart. You can focus on the negatives of book vs movie or enjoy this for what it is, and I think they nailed it!
