Featured reviews
One of the most humane movies I've seen lately. At first, I didn't have high expectations, but in my opinion, it managed to exceed the standards of Pixar movies. In addition to being very funny and super, its design conveys a very important message. Thank you for presenting the negative effects of social media and technology that have a significant impact on our daily lives and mental health. Thank you for alleviating the depression of countless young people through the film.
I don't understand the few reviews of absolutely hating on this it's not that slow or saturated with to much of anything! The main voices are wonderful throughout and color design is really good. Might not have as much to say as others but what I would say is the film is solid fun that shouldn't be taken as seriously as some vehicle stories. Lovable mindless entertainment with touches of all around genres!
I took my son and the Mrs to see this in the cinema and honestly didn't have much hopes was more just something to watch ... Boy was I wrong I laughed from the first five mins and it took us all on an emotional rollercoaster of ups and downs really hitting home the feeling of how kids are these days with all the technology at their finger tips and just how much that is posted online can never appear as it seems ... Fully recommend and il say no more ... Get yourself out there to see it ... A film well worth my money.
This animation is very cute and sweet. The characters are cute and likable. I like the story, as it is very relatable. I think both adults and children will like this film.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this film, as it seemed similar to Next Gen (2018) and The Mitchells vs. The Machines (2021). They all feature an Apple-inspired robotics company, a quirky young outcast and a world obsessed by consumer electronics. What are the differences? Next Gen also has a quirky robot but it's more militaristic than Ron who is just constantly a ditz. The Mitchells vs. The Machines end up with no technology on their side at all. I think this film touches on a lot of points that are salient for the younger generation nowadays - social media fame is fleeting, friends are valuable because of their differences, and our mistakes should not be eternal. It's message was better than Next Gen, which resorted to sci-fi action to convey its message about tech addiction. However, it was not as good as The Mitchells vs. The Machines which had a more nuanced message about tech affecting our social lives. Overall, though, Ron's Gone Wrong by far had the cutest robot.
