Seen at Regal Lacey Cinemas in September 27, 2024; Movie Released in September 27, 2024

 

             Nearing the end of the year, I watched a very amazing movie called “The Wild Robot.” The animated film deserves high marks in storytelling, animated style, and all-star voice cast. Chris Sanders should also do an amazing job in directing and writing the script for the movie. The Wild Robot has been a wonderful spectacle that I would like to see the film again. It could also be a strong indication that DreamWorks might usurp Disney. The film is also heartwarming that could rekindle a viewer’s inner child. The movie’s also worth the wait and the compelling tale it brings.

As we dive into the film, please be aware of spoilers. It’s time to bring out our wild side.

Plot Spoilers

After a shipwreck, an intelligent robot named Roz stranded on an uninhabited island with only the wilderness in sight. To survive the harsh environment, Roz bonds with the island's animals and cares for an orphaned gosling. Can Roz ignore her programming in favor of learning? How can the robot survive in the wilderness? Can she have the gosling ready to fly by autumn?

Pros and Cons in the Film

The Wild Robot has so many good qualities that there is hardly any flaw. Chris Sanders have done an amazing job as director and screenwriter for the film. His direction in animation also evokes a tone similar to Ghibli films. The hand painted approach helps gives it a brand new approach. The movie evokes all kinds of emotions that it’s worth watching. The story is compelling and heart wrenching.  It also explore Roz’s self discovery. The music is also heartwarming. Two of the Songs have a powerful emotional effect while I was watching. Combined with an all-star cast, the best movie I’ve watched.

I am looking forward to more original titles from DreamWorks animation. The art direction and the Music are what got my interest. The beautiful flow within the story also draws me in. The Cast, including Pedro Pascal and Mark Hamill, also did a magnificent work. My only hope is that the future works will be as good as the Wild Robot.

Final Thoughts

             Overall, I love movie that it’s worth watching a few more times. Chris Sanders is an all-star director and writer. He brings storytelling to a new level. His Works includes Lilo & Stitch as well as How to Train Your Dragon in his portfolio. At the rate Sanders doing, he could be the next Walt Disney. The movie’s visuals and music are very captivating and well-executed. DreamWorks is in the middle of a brighter era. I even like the character development from Roz as well as the animals on the island. Even the movie’s script is very flowing and witty. Sanders truly poured out his heart and soul to perfect this adaptation. I would like to see more of his involvement in future projects.

             Given the performance from the film, it took my breath away in more ways than one. I’m giving “the Wild Robot” 9.9 out of 10 Stars for its groundbreaking work. To improve ourselves, we have to be more than what they programmed us into.

PSA announcement: Let's put a stop to leak culture once and for all.

S ay hello to my zero tolerance policy towards leak culture, dataminers and pirate sites. Any criminal who try to do leak will have a 100 billion dollar fine. Besides, Fantastic Four First Steps and Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part 1 are the latest victims in the attacks incited by the Leak Culture terrorists. If you see anything leaked, don't spoil anything. Contact your local authorities and collaborate to track down and arrest these criminals once and for all. It's high time we need to pump the brakes on Leak culture activities for good.   https://x.com/Dracocyba01/status/1948893535538962589

Defend the Video Games

 Written by Yongma Lee  05/17/2013                “Video games are the reason for the children’s aggression,” this is an often heard, serious accusation with little evidence to back it up.   While there have been several recent violent incidents like “Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting”, there is no clear indication that video games were the cause of such inciden ce .   Despite the lack of evidence , many still believe that video games have a connection with them .   Additionally, parents and other adults claim that video games are a bad influence on children.   The government also accuses video games of influencing violent behavior after only playing it for a few hours.   Several news reports and articles state that “violent video games” can turn children into violent criminals.   Because of this wave of reports and public opinion, the U.S. Congress is attempting to take action agai...

Superman Movie review “Last Son of Krypton has Returned”

  Written By Yongma Lee Seen at Lacey Regal Cinemas via IMAX on July 11, 2025; Movie Released in July 11, 2025 July 11, 2025 Updated: July 14, 2025                As James Gunn would emphasize, “Flash’s reset on the DCEU created a soft reboot paving way for the DC Cinematic Universe.” And this soft reboot also created an entirely new universe as we’re witnessing the film being part of Chapter One: Gods and Monsters. The studio formerly called the film, Superman: Legacy, as Superman continues to uphold his core beliefs of Truth, Justice and the human way. But modern society seems to stray from it. All the same, I congratulate Gunn for bringing Superman to the classic comic book narrative with a few twists. However, I have to wait and see like everyone else, including the post credit scenes. Let’s see what the latest version of the Man of Steel presents.         ...
