Il robot selvaggio

DreamWorks managed to bring back the magic of animated cinema with The Wild Robot, a feeling we used to associate with Pixar. For years, Pixar films were all about heart and originality, but over the last 14 years, I feel most of their movies, except for Inside Out (2015), have become more generic and superficial. Thankfully, The Wild Robot, even though from a different studio, brought me that same nostalgic feeling I get from watching Pixar's older films.

The story of The Wild Robot is simple yet beautiful and moving. It explores the contrast between technology and nature in a way that's both touching and thought-provoking. From the beginning, we're drawn in by the innocence of the main robot and the curiosity of the animals around it, showing us a unique example of how the natural and artificial can coexist. This contrast is handled with great care, and for most of the movie, I felt fully immersed in the beauty of this interaction.

The characters, each with their own distinct personalities, are instantly captivating. Every scene has this nostalgic touch that takes you back to the magic of classic animated films, the kind I watched as a kid that seemed endlessly enchanting. It's a film that can truly appeal to both kids and adults.

However, while the first two acts are genuinely emotional and avoid clichés by leaving out forced villains or action scenes, the final act takes a more conventional turn, which is a bit disappointing. It seems to lose some of its original essence and the potential for a unique message, and the ending feels unnecessarily bittersweet, almost as if the producers were already considering a sequel. This final act could have been better developed or even left out entirely to preserve the story's integrity. Personally, I think it would have worked just fine without a traditional villain, focusing instead on a pure journey of discovery.

Despite this change in the ending, The Wild Robot is a fantastic title, a breath of fresh air for the genre, and so far, the best animation this year. It's a film with valuable lessons that can charm and move us, leaving a positive impact on everyone. I highly recommend it for the whole family, reminding us that animation can still touch the hearts of adults, just as it did when we were kids.

Chris Sanders comes back right when he's needed, this animated movie will go down in history not only as one of the greatest animated films but as one of the greatest films in cinema history. This is solid 10/10 for me, my only wish now is for this movie to succeed at the box office as well.

Hours later from seeing the film and I'm still emotional, I'm not your average movie goar, and of late very few movies can surprise me much these days, however today I met my match with The Wild Robot. I can't remember the last time a movie made me feel this way. Am truly in awww with Wild Robot, I highly recommend you catch it in cinemas with family.

"The Wild Robot" is this generations "Bambi"...yes it's that damn fine...like a coffee from "Twin Peaks".

The Key Lime Pie in this animation masterpiece is the beautiful, inclusive story that deals with so many hot topic issues including: finding your heart or living with a disability, without preaching to anyone.

During the first act I was laughing so hard at the brilliant, natural comic moments shared from the book of the same name written by Peter Brown.

By the second act I was in awe of where this story arc was taking the audience and by the third act I felt salt water in my eyes.

"The Wild Robot" will make you laugh, cry and sigh!

The celebrity voiceover cast of Lupita Nyong'o, Catherine O'Hara ("Beetlejuice" she's so hot right now), Bill Nighy, Matt Berry ("Toast of London"), Ving Rhames, Mark Hamill, Pedro Pascal and so many others do an amazing job of breathing life into this screenplay, backed by the lush island atmosphere and the gorgeous creatures that inhabit it.

Director Chris Sanders obsession with animation from "Lilo and Stitch" to "The Croods" has paid dividends in "The Wild Robot".

This film shows us that sometimes to survive you must become more than you were programmed to be.

I saw the Wild Robot during its TIFF premiere and I have not been able to stop thinking about it. It's one of those movies that really makes an impact on you, and you leave that theatre feeling completely changed. The story was so beautiful, so heartfelt and touching that I cried 3 times. It was a beautiful tale about a found family, unexpected bonds and the beauty of motherhood. I'm currently reading the book and can't wait for the rest of the world to see this wonderful movie. Not to mention, the animation is so adorable, especially Brightbill, you will be holding in a coo every couple minutes. I absolutely adore this movie and can't wait to watch it again.

I had low expectations for this movie, but guess what?! My goodness, I haven't seen a movie like this for a long time! Simple but deep at the same time. The message about life and how it's goes, and how the life is, it's deeper, inspirational and I think it can move us to think about life and our relationships. It's a such good movie for a kid or an adult. I'm very impressed! I hope that the industry could copy the formula for doing a great movie. The message on the movie helps and make our life's richer about what really matters. It's instantly a classic, and I hope my review helps more people to watch that movie and experience a beautiful master piece!
