I was excited when I knew that Starlight was being "reformed" when I watched the 6th season. Why? Well, probably because the last 5 SEASONS have just been about Twilight, the others barely getting any spotlight. Now that there is a GOOD pony that has basically been turned from the complete opposite to a copy-paste of Twilight, she wouldn't get as much spotlight anymore. And that was correct... for 2 episodes(To Where and Back Again was amazing).
22:31 Two insane people have actually written books about the exact details of their crimes, this being John Leonard Orr and OJ Simpson. John Leonard Orr, a serial arsonist who started 2000 fires over 30 years while covering as a firefighter, famously wrote a book titled “Points of Origin” that were essentially total recollections of fires which the rest of his firefighting team knew he couldn’t possibly have the most minute details about unless he was the one starting them. Not only this, but he tried to get it PUBLISHED. OJ Simpson wrote “If I did it” and I think that’s about all I need to say.
I haven't watched you in years, but while looking for reviews I stumbled here again . The animation edit to a banger 2010s song sent me straight back to watching literally all your tierliets while waiting for my mom to finish chores while I sat outside the Laundromat this must have been 7-8 years ago, and now im going to my second semester at community college.
thank you! i'm watching the monster in paris right now, gosh it's so damn good and i can't get over the extraordinary writing of: "Whatpart of don't make a sound did you not understand?" _confused guitar strum_ This movie is incredible thank you so much for showing it!
while i do agree with you, the one thing i do have to say is that animation imo is heading in a renascence, while spider-verus wsa the beginning, i think since arcane, the amount of animated features has been far superior in quality that hasn't been since the 2000s. i think we are at a point where animation is taken more seriously by more peopl then before (except the golden globe or ocsars etc. )
Transformers One 9/10 without a doubt the best surprise of 2024 The Wild Robot 10/10 the film that saved Dreamworks. Gundam Seed Freedom 7/10 Despite the flaws and unpredictable choices the film was not bad at all for me
As someone who was assigned the book in a book club & fell in love with it after reading it, I was beyond stoked when I learned it was getting a film adaptation & I’ll definitely look forward to watching it when it releases on streaming/dvd.
how can people call animation "just for kids" when Dreamworks releases this masterpiece into the wild that explores quite a couple of dark themes+humor while still managing to be fun-loving and made with so much creativity & inspiration?!
I don't think the bad guys counts as an original The same way the Wild robot is based on a book What you mean is: FINALLY a new movie And the animals speaking was in the books
Now I see the differeence, Took my Brother to watch Transformers in IMAX (thare's only 4 theathers in my city that has it) and my mom, aunt and cousins to watch Wild robot
It's actually baffling to me that Netflix let something with this much soul and passion into their catalog, like i feel gross knowing that I'll be coming back to Netflix every year to watch a new all time classic Christmas movie
I finished the book the same day i went to go see the movie, and honestly, the movie is good, but it removes a lot of the heartwarming aspects and character/world building in the book and left me disappointed and annoyed frequently. Just as one example, in the book, Brightbill calls Roz mom immediately and often. Their cute mother-son dynamic is established quickly so it can flourish throughout the rest of the book. Roz also isn't just like, "me robot, gosling is my TASK". It humanizes her in a way that gets lost in the early and middle part of the movie, and it makes the conflict when Brightbill runs away more sad than frustrating because it's fully one-sided. Roz never tries to get picked up by the company. She goes to find him in the robot graveyard instead and make things right. I'm tired of movies feeling like they need to shoehorn in conflict between main characters when there is already plenty of other opportunities in the source material to evoke "negative" emotions in the viewers (Longneck dying and the RECO robots coming to get Roz). They could have just made a mostly heartwarming movie with sad parts toward to end and a final conflict. Also, the movie portrays the company as evil. They are extremely neutral in the book and just trying to retrieve their valuable product (not sure if this comes from book 2, as I've read it's a bit of a combo between both). We don't have to attribute maliciousness everywhere and make everything black and white.
I wouldn't complain about a cartoon series being a "Toy commercial" these days as lately those that aren't tend to not have enough merch, doesn't sell, and wind up not lasting past episode 20 on the streaming services.
Fun fact, I'm pretty sure the film does infact show gore. Like, SERIOUS gore. I forgot the timestamp, but basically, it was during a fight I think in the film, and somewhere in it, a crow GETS BEHEADED and Roz just holds the head thinking the crow is alive AND YOU CAN SEE THE MUSCLE WHERE THE CROW'S NECK WAS. Edit : found the timestamp. 5:57 [of the movie]
The animation for The Wild Robot is INSANE You can literally take a screenshot of any random frame in the entire movie And they're all gonna be wallpaper worthy 😭
Waternoose’s reveal has always been a really good villain reveal. It always put me off as a kid. Especially when I would rewatch it because he really did seem nice and good but then on the flip of a switch he’s terrifying. But he doesn’t switch complete personalities and his motives are already shown before he’s revealed as the villain. I love it
Some of these villain twists really worked. I think the Toy Story twists from Toy Story 2 and 3 were both good. Han shocked me when I first read Frozen (I read the picture book before I saw the movie and my older sister read my little sister and I gave it to us and then read us the book) I was very shocked when I read the book but that meant I already knew it happened in the movie. I was shocked that Hans was the bad guy because he was the “love interest” but because you barely knew him I wasn’t floored 😂
Illumination movies are just stale. I like the first Despicable Me movie. Sing 1 and Super Mario are alright. i finished watching The Wild Robot earlier and Inside Out 2 the other day and its such a night and day difference. Besides Despicable Me 1...i never get the urge to rewatch any Illumination movies. They botched an idea that could've been so charming.
