It’s about young motherhood and raising a child when you don’t quite know who you yourself are yet and being societally undesirable and finding community in fellow outcasts and unconventional families that aren’t mom-dad-child but are still full of love all the same and masking and trying not to “ruin” the life that your child has managed to scrape together because you know how hard it is to be happy when you’re Not Normal and breaking away from our base “instincts” to punish and isolate the undesirables in whatever shape they come in because because we’ve been socialized our entire lives to want to achieve and maintain the idealized status quo and we know how hard it is to unlearn things so deeply ingrained into us and how you can’t just immediately change the way someone was raised and how the ruling body is a machine that does not care about you or your personal joy and will gleefully destroy the lives and homes of anyone and everyone associated with those who are Not Normal and they will not stop until they know how to prevent more undesirables from coming into existence and how you can’t just erase someone’s neurodivergence or queerness or heritage or physical disability it’s a fundamental part of how we interacted with the world growing up and how the world interacted with us in turn and it’s about how all of these things intersect because we live in this world and in this society in this community in this family and we are trying to be happy and lead fulfilling lives when that is an uphill battle against social norms and scared people but those social norms are not inherent and are artificial and even though the way there is paved with hot coals and require us to mask to pass and fit in to so that we can make gradual change and as much of an infuriating answer as that is, things can get better

I really liked The Wild Robot you guys

I love a lot about The Wild Robot, but one of my favorite scenes is definitely when Roz learns the language of the animals and the way they make it clear that she's speaking in their language. For the scene itself, it's just... everything. The way the text bubbles pop up, letters slowly coming into place over days and days as patterns emerge, along with the focus on Roz, the framing just so beautiful (But that's not surprising for this movie lol).

BUT THEN we get the subtle touch of Fink asking "What're they saying?" whenever another robot talks, because of course they don't speak animal!! I feel like so many pieces of media would just be like "No, just make them understand each other," but I love the attention to detail, and the knowledge that Roz has fully adapted this language. She truly is a part of her forest.

Gosh, what a beautiful movie.

Chris Sanders characters who were built to be mindless machines (of destruction, in Stitch's case), but grow a compassionate heart thanks to bonding and develop a strong link to ducklings and goslings, my beloved!

The Wild Robot really captures the messages of previous Chris Sanders' filmography (Lilo and Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon and Croods to an extent): the relationship that man has with nature, redemption, finding yourself outside what you are ¨expected¨ to be, but mainly about staying true to oneself and choose to be remain kind even when you have a harsh world going against you

The 90's had the Iron Giant

The 2000's had WALL.E

The 2010's had Baymax

The 2020's will have...

I know you all have instincts that keep you alive, but at some times, to survive, we must become more than we were programmed to be.

more than we were programmed to be

I miss her when she sleeps, too.

The Wild Robot is obviously fucking incredible but what i dont see a lot of people talking about is the parallel of Roz and Brightbill finding out about their families. Brightbill's siblings were killed in their eggs before they could hatch, Roz's identical models were destroyed before they could turn on. both families torn apart by pure coincidence, leaving one sole survivor, with no knowledge of what their species is meant to do or how they're supposed to act. completely isolated

I can't with this movie!! i will forever treasure this!

One of the thing i loved about The Wild Robot is how much it does not shy away from the fact those animals WILL eat each others. Sure, after the bird being decapitated and his head being shown in the fox pawn, it does not get too much onto it, because it is a children movie, and the animals starts talking and having names, and you generally cannot make a named character eat another named character. Even if would have loved to see that. Would have made it better probably, and less possible to misunderstand. But, you know. They talk about eating each others, because it is nature, and they need to eat, and they will continue doing that. They know the truces they get are not forever, because they could not live like that. But they know what is bigger than that, and that nature is not something should stop them from collaborating when needed.
