    The Wild Robot

    ★★★★

    Pretty standard kids fare with a somewhat saccharine message, but wonderful animation and quality voice work make it a fun watch. Strong pacing in the first two acts where it's not afraid to dive into the next part of the story, but the third act gets a little muddled with characters suddenly appearing that I assume had more buildup in the books.

    I was mostly just impressed at how many times this movie for kids talking about small baby animals potentially dying. Good stuff!

    A shockingly faithful adaptation, that ranges from looking like a quality action film with detailed sets and shootouts - to looking like they started running out of money and had to use almost Scorpion King level CG and seemingly hiring a writer that doesn't know how human beings usually speak

    Jolie is perfect and enough turn of the millennium techno/alternative tunes make it an entertaining watch, if not very memorable
