WOWIE ZOWIE
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.
This is what I call an animation masterpiece! The score & music were freakin incredible, and I cried two times in the theater.
@@palmmahir3888 yeah a complete masterclass in storytelling.
Me too. I cried in the scene where Brightbill said, I love you, and Roz responded and the scene where Roz leaves the island and Fink cries
fr i cried a lot too; like when Roz is helping Brightbill to fly or the can you give me a boost part omg what a beatiful movie
And the visuals were ART
My favorite quote was "I have everything I need" after Roz throws out her power core to save Brightbill.
It was quick, but beautiful.
The fact that Chris Sanders wrote and directed this movie excites me the most. He has been in the animation industry for decades and it truly upsets me how a lot of people still don't know his name. From Lilo & Stitch to How To Train Your Dragon to The Croods and now this movie, Sanders is easily one of the greatest artists working in the animation industry. I really hope this could be a bigger hit for him. He's such a gem in animation industry, i adore him so much
@@Fl0k5ser Chris Sanders = the 🐐 of western animation
@@FilmSpeak they should a pitch a movie about real life the Sinister and Evil under belly of our real life our reality is Ruthless and darker it is
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
I can't believe I hold Trillions/Billions of lives in my hands
Having the Government caring about your existing is a GIFT
SPOILER WARNING!
I loved the reflections you see in the film. Roz running to see her son migrate at the start and then Brightbill flying to see her mom off to her migration. And then when she remembers who she is and says “But you can call me Roz”. Me and my friends were the only teens in that theater, and we were bawling 😭
What a wonderfully thoughtful and insightful dissertation. I was lucky to be able to work on this film and it’s fantastically reassuring to see it recognized as the timeless work that we all knew it was while we were creating it. Thank you for this. ❤
@@iocomposer Thank YOU for your incredible work on the film! It's one that will stick with me for a while. You should be very proud!
You're about to make me cry all over again.
It makes me so confused how people love movies like these(i do too) and then still eat animals the day after
@@charlieistryinghisbestthis movie literally shows why (spoilers I know you've prolly already seen it but ya know)
you know when she was rescueing everyone and then they all tried to kill each other that's nature animals die and eat each other in nature
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
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!
Everything about this movie was perfect. It's exactly what I needed personally as well, story wise.
It makes me so confused how people love movies like these and then still eat animals the day after
@@charlieistryinghisbest theyre delicious
@@charlieistryinghisbest Because its a fiction movie..? Some thing ill never understand is why some vegans always try to make people who eat meat feel guilty for their decisions when even animals eat each other... isnt it part of nature?
Its a story of being a parent and it made me my mom my father my daughter cry in the theatre and we were hugging it out the whole time
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.
@@IzukuLuffyAstahow to train your dragon
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
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 .
@@Nader.exe1 We literally don't have to eat meat to survive. If you eat meat anyway you just don't have a heart.
@@Nader.exe1 Halal slaughter is horrible. They don't even stun the animals first. I've seen the process,it's terrifying.
@@Nader.exe1 Halal slaughter is horrible,i've seen it. They don't even stun the animals first.
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
It feels so Indie and I love it!
This is one of the best movies i cried the whole entire time but it was awesome.
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 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
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?
this movie is one of the greatest of dreamworks masterpieces
this movie is the definition of "every frame a painting"
I read the book years ago and I'm so excited to see it!
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 ☆☆☆☆
This movie had no right to make me cry so much 😭 it's so good I watched it more than once
It makes me so confused how people love movies like these and then still eat animals the day after
@@charlieistryinghisbest because one is fiction and the other is real life. Also sometimes it's because of medical reasons
@@charlieistryinghisbest what an annoying vegan lmao
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
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
This movie feels like a dream from the future. It's just so mesmerizing 😀🥰.
0:31 it’s not new ip it’s and adaptation of a book and the book already has a sequel
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 book is amazing, the second book is amazing, the third book is amazing, The movie is amazing
The books are some of the best pieces of American literature so I was not suprised
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
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).
The animais that pretend to be dead are so funny
@@renato.bakaadv hahaha I know it had me dying.
To think this is Dreamwork's final in-house project, I now wonder how they can possibly mess it all up for the sequel.
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.
Incredibly articulate review for an incredibly produced movie! Just finished my second viewing of it and I am still as wonderstruck as the first time around :)
1:19 clever, very clever 😏
Isnt the Wild Robot a book series?
@@sinshenlong it is!
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
I would compare this favorably to WALL-e…and that is one of my three all-time favorite animated films….Also, please don’t overlook THE BAD GUYS…a Really off beat surprise of a film from two years ago
I suspect your Megalopolis Review will be Titled: "When the Director Doesn't Give a F*ck about Cohesive Storytelling"😂
Hahahahahaha
Haven't seen it yet but now I really wanna watch it with my Daughter ❤ Thank you 🙏🏻 🎉
This movie was like real life nature
It’s so good
i only wish kevin peakin compose this, he talent in combining orchestra + electronics

Me to 😂😅
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.
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.
I loved the Wild Robot books and the movie! Now, can you make a video about Transformers One??? 🙏
I agree it's stunning♡♡♡
Great video, thanks!!!
Well, they did it. They made actually made the profit both domestically and internationally.
If only people would not be brainwashed by Disney to the point where Inside Out 2 became the 8th highest grossing movie at all time.
Such an excellent movie.
Underrated, very sad.
I’d rather Hollywood go back to hand-drawn animation than evolve computer animation.
dreamworks have always been on top. just cos they can't produce as many films as disney, quality over quantity is key. and films like how to train your dragon, megamind, shrek and this are truly quality.
I love CGI and stop motion animated films, but thought it was utterly contrived and charmless. I was really looking forward to this, but was left feeling really disappointed. It looks good enough, but I wouldn't call it groundbreaking or original in any way. The last film of theirs I really enjoyed was Captain Underpants. I'm mystified how anyone could find this better than WALL-E. If this is a sign of things to come and people are lapping it up, then that's genuinely quite sad.
amazing video!
your review convinced me to watch wild robot, and its not even close to the best movie ive ever seen. i dont even think its better than the last puss in boots. Its a nice, emotional movie, but it was so dumb that the animals beat the robots at the end. The duck dived into the front windshield of a moving rocket ship, and instead going splat, he smashes through the glass.
Its good, but its not great. Its not amazing and its not the best anything.
The 98% score from both critics and audiences would suggest otherwise, my friend.
Sorry it didn't connect with you... and sorry it's a cartoon??? I think you need to lighten up a bit.
I could point to countless films, from endless studios, animated and live-action, that use "ridiculous plot devices" that only work when the plot demands it... and in this case, it was a goose diving through a windshield... could have been John Wick taking punch after punch, bullet after bullet, until the plot decides he passes out... could be Simba, a lion, surviving solely on insects... or Puss-in-Boots delivering blow after blow to a giant stone beast weighing thousands of tons, coming out unscathed, yet somehow a bell falling on him kills him?...it's called storytelling. There's a reason Pitch Meeting, and CinemaSins, and countless other film parody studios exist... enjoy the ride, and don't think too hard.
@@justafan5179 No, its just another kids movie and nothing more. It doesnt have some profound meaning and its doesnt break any ground with its innovation.
Its not better than classics like monsters inc or toy story. Its just a typical kids movie.
Not bad, but not amazing like this video implies.
I mean, I came to find out it's based on a book trilogy so it's not completely a new IP, but wry original and a risk taken nonetheless.
didn't dreamworks make the iron giant, seems like they still have no original ideas
That was WB and the movie is hardly like The Iron Giant so idk what you're talking about.
Seems like you need to watch more Dreamworks movies... If you wanna talk about non original ideas we should look at Disney tho
Okay look I respect people's opinions but this movie is not a masterpiece.
Here's what it "pays homage to":
Zootopia
Brother Bear
Brother Bear 2
The Iron Giant
Laputa
Fly Away Home
I'm sure I'm missing others.
Too much of a good thing isn't always a good thing.
Disney makes such boring films now
Never heard of this movie
Fudge you mean since 2001? 2022 happend.
Damn Dreamworks gotta be one of the most inconsistent companies like ever?
Yeh we'll release Puss in Boots 2, one of the best sequels of all time, featuring one of the best villains of all time, but then we have to release a forced successor to the Kung Fu Panda trilogy featuring by far the weakest villain of the franchise, and an annoying side character used as a plot device to be the obvious new dragon warrior, and we'll also release one of the worst sequels of all time as Megamind 2 completely destroying Megamind's backstory and character growth from the first film, but then we'll also release a brilliant new IP that manages to convince audiences to engage in a completely new yet ironically flawed robot, with stunning visuals, whilst tackling multiple parental themes to provide an outstanding unique IP? I don't get you Dreamworks. Why are you so insistent in having a 50% winrate?
I think i am in the minority; Not that I think The Wild Robot not a great movie, it is. But what i am saying is that I do not think it is the best animated feature of 2024. I love Transformers One better than this movie in the genre of animation.
Idk about thag
STIPE KNOCKS OUT jbj✝️🇺🇸
Its not original !!! it looks like a ghibili character from Castle in the Sky
Yeah, I know. Chris Sanders himself said that he took inspiration for the design of Roz from the Laputa Robot from Castle in the Sky, you didn't know?
Also, it's not COMPLETELY copied. Yes, some features look similar but Roz still has a unique ring in her design and her own functions and everything. It's not all copied, it's just a few parts of her body were inspired from the Laputa Robot.

After years of following this channel I was expecting better script so I think I'm unfollowing from now on. The simplistic overdramatic forced relatability is becoming stale
May I ask what about this one specifically was the problem for you?
It was good. Let's not go mental.
It's exaggeration for views. People who see a film they really like called a masterpiece or perfect will be more willing to click on the video to boost their ego in the sense that the channel confirms their opinion on the film is correct. Whilst still keeping it authentic by being an honest critic in the actual analysis, and sprinkling the channel with negative views that they expect to be less popular but ensures people believe they are a genuine critic.
@@Perceptive-AbyssI mean yeah sure but if a film deserves to be called a masterpiece then why not call it that and in my opinion wild robot absolutely earned that title
@@ariklion37Exactly, we are not going absolutely crazy about it like Swifties or something. If you saw one of the best films of your entire life, would you not want to praise it? That's what this guy is doing. We are just praising it for how good of a film it is. So do you think that all the films above average are just "good"? What about other titles like great or amazing and what about masterpiece? There are movies out there, including The Wild Robot which deserve the masterpiece title and I just can't simply call it good.
@@nabeelnaureen7283 well said ,if you earn your praise then there is nothing wrong with getting it
Beautiful essay. Thank you.
