re: Wild Robot is one of the best animated family movies I’ve ever see.

I just watched this movie the other night while drunk and stoned, my god what a masterpiece. Take that with grain of salt

The animation and score are so top notch for an animated movie.

The whole “give me a boost” scene while Roz watches Brightbill take off for migration is incredible. Brought a tear to my eye.

The ending for me was a little predictable, that’s my only gripe, I had a hunch Roz would sacrifice herself for the island animals. But it was still a great film.

I hear there is a sequel in the works, will definitely take my kids to the theaters to the next one

I hate that twat Maren Morris but she made a couple good songs, the score is great overall though

I have seen the previews and I find myself negatively impressed for a fairly modern reason. Because of where we are technologically today.

That is, because we are in the era of AI and other technologies replacing the utility of human intelligence and labor I don't get very warm and fuzzy about the notion of an artificial construct having emotional warmth.

This is different from what I would have been interested in a couple of decades ago. Movies like Wall-E, Iron Giant, and Blade Runner featured AI or alien beings I enjoyed and related to emotionally. But I hope that the AI glass half (or infinitely) full types are correct.

I didnt really think about the movie being pro-ai.

If anything this robot was a rogue working against big ai

Until they turn into the killing machines we saw in Andor/Mando like K-S20
