I watched The Wild Robot at the cinema today too, thought it was absolutely fantastic. The animation is amazing, someone said it’s like a moving painting and it’s exactly that
Thought it was a slightly better movie overall than Wall-E, which I love too
9 out of 10
Also watched a movie called It’s What’s Inside (Netflix), which has a truly brilliant and intriguing premise and could have been something special with good actors. Still worth watching though
6.5 out of 10

Yeah we saw The Wild Robot today too and loved it. Great animation, lovely story and not too proud to admit that some onions were being cut in the cinema too.

I wish I had liked it more, it is absolutely beautiful to look at. The story didn’t grab me at all though. My 6yo found it upsetting and made me take him out half way through. My mrs and 16yo & 12yo stayed and came out in floods of tears, they loved it. Perhaps it picked up in the second half.

I am strongly contemplating buying The Wild Robot to watch this week.

I think in my screening from the moment Brightbill learnt to fly there was at least one person crying at all times for the rest of the film. My boy spent most of the last third cuddled in with me same as first time The Sign episode of Bluey really hit him. There were two families walked out midway with upset younger children as well though. One girl in the row in front of us only looked about three and was telling her parents she was scared from very early on.

It’s an incredibly emotional movie, I was genuinely surprised how moved I was watching it
If you watched it with young kids I think you’d find it more stressful than enjoyable to be honest

I must be dead inside then. As I said last page I found it dull where all the characters had been done before and better before. I find most dreamworks efforts are poor versions of the best Pixar have done in the past.
I really cared in soul, nemo, wall-e etc but I found all the characters in wild robot to be just a bit cliche and felt it was one for the kids. Plus the nice robot learning things has been done four times or more off the top of my head.
