Oh my Cthulhu. What did we do that we deserved two excellent animated movies in one year? I previously praised Inside Out 2; however, I think The Wild Robot was even better.
I'm not going to try to summarize. Just — wooooowwwww. The acting? Sharp. The writing? Pitch perfect. The art? Astounding. It looks like paintings, not CGI.
I did not think IO2 was anything near excellent myself. However, on top of the available footage and stellar buzz, plus it being from Chris Sanders, my online mutuals are praising Wild Robot already, calling it a true instant classic. So bummed it’ll be three weeks before it releases here…
Three if you count Transformers One. The advertising apparently didn't do it justice, but it's pretty great.
And having just read the first two Wild Robot books, I look forward to seeing the movie.
