The Wild Robot: the most OVERRATED animated movie of the DECADE

(Read everything if you want to shut up the crowd that calls it a gem without even knowing why)

This god of MEDIOCRITY has been called even "ONE OF THE BEST ANIMATED MOVIES OF ALL TIME".

Nowdays for some reason people just care about how good a movie LOOKS and if it feels EMOTIONAL enough. If that's the case THEY ALREADY CAN BE CONSIDERED A """MASTERPIECE""" BY THEM.

But this movie isn't a masterpiece. And that's not it... The Wild Robot is not even close of being close of being a masterpiece.

The only amazing thing this film does is having A TON OF FLAWS.

First... something was already feeling wrong when the SUDDEN plot change of the snow scene happend. It felt SUPER ABRUPT, barely more abrupt than the introduction of the mentor duck which happend SO FAST. And suddenly the movie changed COMPLETELY for some reason and a new plot was introduced after the young goose Brightbill left her Wild Robot mom... the snow storm. For me THAT was already a problem as it felt we were watching a whole new movie suddenly. BUT IT GETS WORSE, because from now on I really asked myself IF THEY STICKED THE SCRIPT OF A DIFFERENT MOVIE INTO THIS ONE IN THIS SECOND HALF.

First lets remember something REALLY IMPORTANT. During the first half of the movie they portrayed natural interactions as realistic. Like how animal behaviors are in REAL LIFE. The filmmakers were NOT scared of showing wild interactions: animals eating other animals, death, surviving... basically nature. IT WAS LIKE THAT FOR ALL THE FIRST HALF OF THE MOVIE and I actually thought that was GREAT. I want you to remember this.

Then it seemed they COMPLETELY forgot about it.

I want you'all to imagine something...

Imagine a person is in the middle of a forest in a dangerous STORM with WILD ANIMALS of ANY KIND and that person suddenly tries to go and talk with them to make PEACE WITH EACHOTHER. And not only make peace in the middle of the storm... BUT EVEN MAKE AN AGREEMENT WITH ALL THE ANIMALS TO MAKE A WHOLE NEW CIVILIZATION IN WHICH NOBODY KILLS ANYBODY AND THEY ALL TREAT EACHOTHER AS EQUALS FOREVER.

It sounds dumb, right...?

Well, GUESS WHAT!!! That is exactly what happened.

And it is like... HELLO...??? THE FOOD CHAIN?! THE BASIC NATURAL ANIMAL BEHAVIOR?! THE FACT THAT CARNIVOROUS ANIMALS NEED TO KILL TO EAT?! THE LOGIC THE OWN MOVIE INSTALLED?! "Naaah, lets throw ALL of that to the TRASH BIN."

This would work in a movie like ZOOTOPIA because the LOGIC of THAT movie is made in such way that this WOULD MAKE SENSE. But in the case of The Wild Robot they made WHOLE SCENES to show us how the logic of the movie is practically the SAME as the logic we have in REAL LIFE.

They literally make bears, prey, hunters and all kinds of animals live like they were humans in a scene that felt so rushed, so out of nowhere and soooo pointless that had little to do with what we were watching before.

It is like they created a new problem and plot OUT OF NOWHERE without any kind of sense that doesn't even respect the logic of the movie itself.

BUT WAIT... that is just the surface.

Can someone EXPLAIN TO ME how is it possible that a robot that was made for GARDENING can withstand falling from MOUNTAINS, attacks from BEARS and other ANIMAL HORDES, 200 hits, scratches in middle of the rain and MUCH MORE... but the COMBAT robots, LITERALLY MADE TO FIGHT AND RESIST and with such advanced technology and AI are defeated by some BIRDS JUST BY THEMSELVES and other animals at the end of the movie??!!!! Yeah, super logical!! Of course it isn't plot armor... pfff!!!

But there is MORE...

HOW THE F*** did a FREAKING GOOSE manage to DESTROY THE MAIN WINDOW OF THE BATTLESHIP THAT CARRIES ALL THE COMBAT ROBOTS AND VITALE RESOURCES AND THAT IS DESIGNED TO RESIST STRONG HITS?! And he didn't only destroy it with its body... but HE JUST BROKE ONE OF HIS WINGS. JUST ONE WING when his entire body should have EXPLODED into the window! HELL... HE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE ABLE TO MAKE A SMALL CRACK ON THE GLASS. A glass that should resist even crashing into a mountain. But no... he destroyed it all WITH HIS BODY.

Remember that these actions LITERALLY WERE THE ONES THAT SOLVED THE ENTIRE PROBLEM THE CHARACTERS HAD IN THE MOVIE.

AND THAT'S NOT IT... there is just one more thing that is also really important...

The message of the movie...

"We don't have to act the way we come from the factory."

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH WHAT WE WERE WATCHING THROUGH THE ENTIRE MOVIE?!

WHAT DOES IT EVEN MEAN?!

ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

And I know... I know... It's related to the robot not acting as it should as it was made in a factory to follow a script and rules, yes... it's true... but...

What lesson does it teach to the characters and how? Why?

How does that complement the entire story we were watching?

What lesson does that teach to us that would be related to the story beyond what I already explained and the animals magically not devouring each other and any other scene in the movie?

NOTHING. It's like they forgot what they were doing. Or like they paused the production and continued it years after with a different team. Really... I know it sounds good, but now think about the message and how it could be related with the characters and the plot. It doesn't have any sense.

I think there were also one or two other mistakes, but I can't remember right now, but anyways...

And I know what some of you could think now...

"But Lagartijus... even if it has some mistakes they aren't that bad and also the movie has good things too."

Yes, the movie has many good things but NO... those mistakes ARE TERRIBLE. Most of them are the ones that solved the entire problematic in the film and other just make whe whole film not having sense or continuity. And if you don't agree with that now remember how YOU probably have hated or criticize harshly other movies FOR HAVING LESS MISTAKES THAT THIS FILM HAS. Because I am 100% sure YOU DID.

That's it, bye. Give me your opinion.

The complete shutout for Killers of The Flower Moon after the praise for its nominations is incredibly telling of how performative The Academy always has and will be.

The Osage murders were ignored for decades because the story wasn’t sensationalized enough to be “cared” about by people. It wasn’t a “big enough issue” to be treated with a fraction of respect or attention that it deserved.

Martin Scorsese did about everything he could to get Killers of the Flower Moon on the radar of those who would’ve otherwise completely ignored it [direct and fund it himself, two academy darling actors in main roles], and did so much outside of what they would want [made sure to give platform and voices to the Osage people where most would speak over them, even going as far to credit Robbie Robertson with so much of the films importance due to his indigenous heritage] and it still got ignored. Just a really shocking yet sadly expected decision made by an institution claiming they want to be more inclusive towards minority groups and stories. an institution who, after 96 years, had just nominated the first Native American actress and indigenous composer, yet still found a way to not reward them for their work.

It’s, once more, shocking yet not surprising. In my heart of hearts Lily Gladstone walked away an Oscar winner tonight, as deserved.

Remember the Palestinian genocide is still ongoing, even during Ramadan and while everyone is distracted by the Oscars. Make noise.

They are going to worsen their strikes while people are looking away. It is already happening. Don't look away and use your voice for the people of Palestine.
