Looks very interesting. Glad to see that Trolls money be put to good use
People forget their sillier movies help finance the truly great ones.

What a weird post
Looks pretty. Wish it had an actual release date though.
Never mind it comes out in late September.
Animated short?
>From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation, Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot.
>The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, “Roz” for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.
>The Wild Robot stars Academy Award® winner Lupita Nyong’o (Us, The Black Panther franchise) as robot Roz; Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) as fox Fink; Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek, Best in Show) as opossum Pinktail; Oscar® nominee Bill Nighy (Living, Love Actually) as goose Longneck; Kit Connor (Heartstopper, Rocketman) as gosling Brightbill and Oscar® nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once, this summer’s The Fall Guy) as Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island.
>The film also features the voice talents of Emmy winning pop-culture icon Mark Hamill (Star Wars franchise, The Boy and the Heron), Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows, The SpongeBob Movie franchise) and Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Ving Rhames (Mission: Impossible films, Pulp Fiction).
>A powerful story about the discovery of self, a thrilling examination of the bridge between technology and nature and a moving exploration of what it means to be alive and connected to all living things, The Wild Robot is written and directed by three-time Oscar® nominee Chris Sanders—the writer-director of DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods, and Disney’s Lilo & Stitch—and is produced by Jeff Hermann (DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby 2: Family Business; co-producer, Kung Fu Panda franchise).
>Peter Brown’s The Wild Robot, an illustrated middle-grade novel first published in 2016, became a phenomenon, rocketing to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. The book has since inspired a trilogy that now includes The Wild Robot Escapes and The Wild Robot Protects. Brown’s work on the Wild Robot series and his other bestselling books have earned him a Caldecott Honor, a Horn Book Award, two E.B. White Awards, two E.B. White Honors, a Children’s Choice Award for Illustrator of the Year, two Irma Black Honors, a Golden Kite Award and a New York Times Best Illustrated Book Award.
I was hoping the animals would be silent but oh well. Sadly I feel most of the box office will be due to the stars, not because it's a good soulful movie.
I guess he builds an animal hearing device at some point so he understands them.
I dunno, feels like they have enough confidence in the movie to have a trailer entirely devoid of dialogue when the cast is so stacked.
It's called red herring
I think they cleverly hid the voices to make an impactful trailer which will be what gets people in the theater. Most people will only know this trailer and go in expecting it to be mute.
NTA but I hate that because I fricking love talking animals and the trailer muting everything makes the movie seem like such a bore fest
>the animals talk
And here I thought we were getting Dreamworks's answer to WALL-E. Did they not have ANY faith in an animated film with limited dialogue?
That’s just faithful to the source
That's fair. We could still stand to get more original films from Dreamworks though. They can't ALL be adaptations
*cough* last wish *cough*
They don’t seem to be that good at it.
Their Turbos and their Ruby Gillmans tend to be their worst performing movies
Ironically it was the original stuff that ruined this movie. Not sure what they were thinking making the main film completely pointless
Shaun the Sheep remains the only animal film with no dialogue.
oh frick i was hoping for a silent film, my interest is pretty much gone now.
>And here I thought we were getting Dreamworks's answer to WALL-E
but Wall-e had humans speaking so it's exactly that.
eh, I'm fine with it as long as it keeps the tone of the trailer. Also
>Expecting an animated feature length kids movie with no talking
Even Wall-E gave up the "limited dialogue" schtick halfway thru
>>The Wild Robot stars
Nothing against the cast, but unless they hired all of these big name stars to do animal grunts, then my excitement for this movie has slightly dimmed.
Sorry, that's what the story is about. The Robot learns how to talk with the animals and becomes a mother to them.
It's not a criticism of the story, whatever it may be. It's just that Dreamworks isn't a company that tackles things that challenge convention, be it in visuals or storytelling. My initial excitement can be summed up as simply as "whoa, they're trying something different."
Don't worry, all the animals will talk and do the eyebrow raise as soon as the second trailer hits.
>mfw the robot rises his eyebrow at the end of the film
kino is in the way bros
oml you people are insufferable.
That is so disappointing
These guys made Lilo and Stitch and HTTYD so I trust them.
Someone on twitter said this might get a PG13 rating. I don’t see it.
A PG rating? Frick me.
Honestly, parents should just ignore the rating system. I, as a kid, HATED that shit because it was crippling kino production even in the mid 00s.
Believe it or not, not having any spice in things kinda took away the SOUL from animation.
Contrary to what right winged morons and psuedo-right liberals think.
that could easly be artificially spiked with 1 cute animal dying on screan.
one could only hope that they just appear in a few scenes, while buildingg him, and then when they talk about capturing it back or something
>this will be the last film fully animated at Dreamworks' Glendale campus
>every film after this will have co-animators such as Sony Imageworks
you guys better see this in theaters
>this will be the last film fully animated at Dreamworks' Glendale campus
Shark Tale was the first one.
>guiltposter
Frick you. I see every animated movie in theaters except for the obviously bad kids movie, and you keep trying to shame me because I didn’t make an exception for some bullshit.
beautiful, hopefully they won't shit on it and shoehorn humans in it
Anon..
Most likely they're vocing the animals/other robots
Its mostly the animals but there is 1 other robot
They won’t be shoehorned; the books are about the robot being taken back to civilization and deciding it needs to escape back to the wilderness
>Hatchet but in reverse and with a robot instead of a boy
I wonder if they're adapting all 3 books at once, doesn't seem like its setting up a trilogy or anything
Who knows with Dreamworks, they haven’t had a history of doing super faithful adaptations until the Bad Guys being like half faithful to the arc of the first 5 books.
In the old days they were this good looking, animated by hand and had sexo material in them.
There's nothing spicy here and western animation hasn't had spice in it for decades now.
If it's boring to adults in immediate visuals and catches, it's generally boring to kids too.
Especially goes for things like sex appeal, which corps seem to just avoid at all cost now (and even kids notice this shit).
It's like we're afraid of allowing kids to experience such things or something now. We have to make everything stale, derivative and safe.
And that makes these things boring.
Sure, Ice Age wasn't as visually impressive, but hey at least they were naughty at times and actually did things, instead of just being mere inanimate visual porn.
>Story about a robot exploring nature
>Where's the hot babes?!
Are you fricking serious dude?
It doesn't have to be babes.
It does have to be spice.
You ain't reading that post right.
What do you mean by spice?
he wants the robot to be a black dude yelling at dehodorants.
Well something other than pretty flowers blowing in the breeze and scenery porn.
Like actual characters that are interesting and have conflicts and real drama. Not generic plain vanilla protagonist and "bare minimum" antagonist which barely is distinguishable from the protagonist because they're also so plain vanilla.
There's no venom.
There's no grit.
There's no insults.
There's no love.
There's no passion.
It's just overproduce the shit out of CGI to make people think there's an actual film here.
Western animation has suffered from this since like 2002ish.
I think honestly the Incredibles and perhaps Frozen are the closest you get to real interesting plot devices and stories with real interesting characters.
For a long time though, people were more impressed with visual progress over content and that's made animation studios lousy at writing a solid script with effectively used cinematography. Not just effects and visual porn for visual porn sake.
When I posted
I meant that the designs had zing to them. Flair. They made people look naughty at times to exaggerate their unique position in the film as either a baddy or a love interest, etc. Nowadays they don't do this because that's not politically correct. So they focus on the mere graphics. Same issue in games too.
Fricking weirdo
Even the Iron Giant was more interesting immediately than this trailer.
And that dude is just a hunk of steel.
But you emotionally engaged with him. You thought about what he was, who he was, you engaged, empathised and sympathised with various aspects.
Another one is Wall-E. Another hunk of steel that got to people in a minute trailer far far more than the bot in OP's trailer - who I couldn't give 2 shits about.
It's like people no longer understand what actually engages people. Social inferences.
And that makes sense in the post-covid world where everyone is utterly isolated or has a shallow upper admin work relationship and a shallow lobotomised family that don't emote in order to keep their position socially in life nowadays.
And that's sad.
People are too afraid to be unhinged, emotional, sad, angry, happy, loving, hating, all these things.
So all you have left is shallow visual scenery that says nothing but looks pretty.
It's like dressing up in make up but then having absolutely no personality whatsoever. A common theme in this society of mere superficial beauty.
yeah I feel the exact same way especially about all of Illumination's stuff. It's technically proficient but sterile and boring.
You're comparing two films that have been out for years with a trailer that's only goal is to set the tone of the film.
>anon judges a literal teaser from complete movies
The only cg films I think match what you describe would be Tintin and Rango.
Tintin has a CG film?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventures_of_Tintin_(film)
Oh frick I wanted to forget this existed.
It was great though
It's probably a good film but it's the complete opposite of
and looked ugly as faaaaaark.
Finally CGI is at a standard that it genuinely looks ok.
Though Wall-E was 2008 and it looked amazing too AND had interesting emotive characteristics with the characters. The scenery is in the background. You focus on Wall-E, not the scenery.
Get my point with OP's trailer?
It's just not doing the same that Wall-E dis literally 16 years ago.
Pull the dick out of your ass and get over your gay little "opinions".
It was pretty good although not very true to the spirit of the Tintin comics
Rango was beautifully ugly.
Rango is the gift that keeps on giving. Everytime I think about all the crap we have to put up with these days, I think about how Rango was able to get made in spite of everything. We might have to wafe through an ocean of crap, but the gems we find make it all worthwhile.
you fricking idiot. Hercules disney is a fricking insult to the original epic removing all it's grit to appeal to children, they even westernized hades to fitt into christian cosmology.
You wiener sucker have no idea what you even want.
stfu coomer
stfu castrato pleb.
You sound like an extremely boring person and I hope you never reproduce.
I think it looks very promising. I'll try to watch it at launch.
Western Hand-Drawn Animation collapsed for film outside the rarer stuff due to being pushed to being TV only for hand drawn animation, and Disney is to blame for a lot of it when they stopped marketing certain films so they could bomb.
Least deranged tr/a/nny.
Dude just look at porn of the robot when that happens
>Waaaah, I don't like movies that are cute and idealic because it reminds me what I can't have
This is why Japan is clapping the West in terms of animation
Shut up Meg
DREAMWORKS WON
PIXARSISTERS AND DISNEYGGERS ON SUICIDE WATCH
Ok sure, but DW having a couple of decent movies in a row is kinda surprising. They're on a pretty good run
It looks neat, but the premise seems better for a short film. Doesn't seem like there's gonna be a lot of plot
And so what? A lot of great films are plotless. Film allows you to do so much more than basic storytelling.
But that's what interesting about it, a calmer film rather than a bombastic action one. It's worth exploring how good it can be as a film. We already had the Bastion short for a short film of that idea, this is the chance to make a full film babout that
Huh, so they're turning Bastion Overwatch's promo short into a full movie. I get Blizzard's getting desperate, but still.
This is just the dolittle trailer music
?si=HvabYkwkmTuorxY6
Well, yeah, it's a cover of Louis Armstrong's What A Wonderful World. What were you expecting?
>pozzed environmentalist bullshit
I sleep
It's not even the problem here because from memory Wall-E did this and it was FAR more effective with ancient CGI techniques.
It's more to do with character animation and body movements to make the characters engage with other characters and with which the audience can empathise and sympathise with. It's just not engaging me as well as a 16 year old CGI film.
So something's gone wrong somewhere. I've noticed non-CGI animation doing the same too to the point that slop like Hazbin is doing a better job with engaging the audience with it's interpersonal engagement (what a bland inhuman way of putting that kek).
>FAR more effective
Nah, It was the worst part about the movie. The core of Wall-E was the romance, so the environmentalism/humans bogged it down. With this film it looks to be the robots connection with the animals so the environmentalism makes sense.
As long as it's not preachy, I could care less.
If it's bullshit like: "ur killing the environment by using electricity, wasting water, not recycling properly, driving a car or riding a motorbike that belches exhaust fumes in the atmosphere, barbequing" etc. Then it's shit.
Ghibli did it
Ghibli doesn't own robots
NTA, but as soon as I saw the robot design my first thought was also Castle in the Sky. It's not a direct copy, but its similar enough that inspiration seems likely.
Gulliver's travels?
flower accept?
lol they're implying the dragon movies were good
the first one is decent
First one is good and beloved by millions, spawned a huge ass franchise.
oink oink
I like that they actually chose a fitting film to advertise The Wild Robot instead of just choosing any random DreamWorks film. Chris Sanders was actually one of the main guys behind HTTYD, so that slogan is accurate.
>Chris Sanders
Literally the only reason I'm even mildly interested in this movie. But it still feels lame to see him only doing adaptations now. Lilo & Stitch was a totally original idea and felt so fresh because of it.
Did ANYONE watch his Call of the Wild movie with Harrison Ford? And it came out BEFORE the pandemic
soulless
I am getting sick of Pascal
>From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation, Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot.
what a meaningless accolade
also can't they come up with an original IP?
>also can't they come up with an original IP?
?si=YQhVvnLJJqEqzCdq
We saw this concept before.
Even then it's a tamer Iron Giant.
looks like the kind of meme movie that's taylor-made for reddit
>animals together hugging the robot
That's silly, some of them eat each other
some times animals that eat each other can hug, specially if they just ate and are full
anon...
As real as suicidal lemmings
Cope
It's the power of love
This is the kind of risky stuff it seems every studio is trying except for Disney it seems.
Looks pretty gay
Just so you know-
The animals are supposed to talk in this.
If you’re expecting a masterwork of otherwise silent-dialogue storytelling, tamper your expectations.
Words cannot describe how pissed I was when I first learned that bullshit.
You can look up short movies on YouTube if you want silent cartoons.
Just watch Last Bastion from Overwatch game, silent, short and has same theme.
I know it's only a teaser and all, but it still feels like false advertising. Before reading the synopsis, I was thinking it seemed more like a short film. Guess I'm the fool for thinking a big Hollywood studio would ever be bold enough to make a silent feature film again.
>Guess I'm the fool for thinking a big Hollywood studio would ever be bold enough to make a silent feature film again.
To be fair, as another Anon pointed out, the animals talked in the original book - it wasn't Hollywood just pushing talking animals.
Just watch Away
Disney’s Dinosaur moment
This is DreamWorks’ Oscar-bait movie of the year, right?
yeah prolly
Will it include the dramatic climax where the animals save the robot from being taken away by other robots by catching it off guard by showing they know how to work a gun
artstyle reminds me of the last wish, especially with the water
>Film with a cool robot as the protagonist
I am absolutely watching this, the visuals look amazing
this is going to be another movie that could be a 10/10 if was 100% without voices just the soundtrack and a mute robot explore nature, basic PRIMAL for kids
, but will be ruined be the uncessary talking characters
To be fair test audiences didn’t understand that the lyrics to all the songs in Spirit were describing the horse’s feelings so they had to add a voice over to reiterate before anyone could understand what the movie was about
to be fair dumb people shouldn't be allowed access to art
Finally, a new Bionicle movie!
looks great but im pretty much done with technology/human bad, nature good type of media.
would be REALLY cool if they show that the majority of people are not hitler level evil and tech can actually work in tandem with nature.
you just know this is going to flop
Without a doubt. People won't be interested or Dreamworks will totally bungle the marketing.
Sucks for the people who were begging for new properties and actually buy a ticket.
>new properties
is based on a book
As in not a sequel to something else, lol.
Honestly I am just confused where did this beautiful movie came from. It looks honestly amazing by one of the directors that made some of my favorite animated movies. Where did this come from?
No idea. They must've been working on it for at least a year or two now, right? It's honestly surprising that nothing has leaked. The name "Chris Sanders" has meaning for a lot of people.
I hope it's a cool movie for your sakes, then.
They really must have kept it tight with this movie. It does give me great hopes. This seems like the movie they do care about and those usually turn out great. And it looks like the Last Wish kind of animation will now be staple of the movies they genuinely care about.
it's amazing how hard they wasted the pussy boost, you have to actually try to look worse than modern pixar.
I have only two problems with this trailer.
One, they absolutely did not need to do the 'MADE BY THE SAME COMPANY THAT BROUGHT YOU X AND Y' shit.
Second, the blatant celebrity voice pandering did not need to be shoehorned into the trailer, that shit has been trite for years. I don't care if you have mark hamill or bill nighy or any other celebrity voicing your animated characters, frick right off.
To be fair. One; the "Company that brought you X" is a little more justified, because it is the same team that did HTYD 1, Chris Sanders is directing this.
Two. At least half of those people are expirenced in voice acting, most of Mark Hamil's best and well beloved roles outside of SW are from voice acting.
>the blatant celebrity voice pandering did not need to be shoehorned into the trailer, that shit has been trite for years.
I agree but I saw several people who said "PEDRO PASCAL IS IN IT? WE WILL BE WATCHING"
Sadly, celebrities still bring people to the movie. Chances are if they made an entirely mute movie it'd be a bomb at the box office, regardless of how good it is.
Best way to enjoy DreamWorks? Ignore the money spinning sequels. Focus on their original works. They're at their most competent when creating a new work, instead of when trying to easily squeeze money with a sequel.
>They're at their most competent when creating a new work, instead of when trying to easily squeeze money with a sequel.
The Last Wish is the sequel of a spin-off of a sequel of an adaptation, and it turned out to be one of the best films of the last 15 years.
My disappointment at the list of actors at the end was immeasurable, I spent the whole trailer thinking "wow are they going to out-do WALL-E for dialog-free storytelling?"
"I don't like dreamworks I just want Disney to suffer" that's you.
The sheer amount of seething and concern trolling by mousecucks over this, maybe it really will do a surprise billion lmao
I already know this is going to flop and be a boring as hell "watch for the vibes" movie.
This is my 8 year oldest favorite book so I'm pretty stoked to take him to see it.
Damn that’s awesome to hear. I hope you both enjoy it
>I hope you both enjoy it
Thanks, I have a feeling I'll at least like it more than Trolls 3. I know he'll like it. He was already tearing up at the moment where ROZ saw Brightbill off. When he read the book, he bawled when they said goodbye.
>I hope it's a cool movie for your sakes, then.
I think he'll be satisfied no matter what. He was impressed with how many of the moments from the book were in the trailer. He is the type of kid who will pick out all the differences. When we watched The Phantom Tollbooth, he spent 20 minutes telling his grandma how different it was.
>he spent 20 minutes telling his grandma how different it was
Oh he is going to be that kind of nerd
based
>instead of moving on and enjoying fatherhood he still browses this site
Holy shit. This looks awesome. I have not felt this happy seeing a trailer for a movie in a long time.
Apparently this is the last movie Dreamworks will make fully in house, I heard that apparently to cut cost they will be outsourcing the rest of the movies they make to Canadian Sony Pictures Animation as the Glendale studio is shut down. This is sad. But maybe they will go out on a high note.
Christ this is sad. I hope that the movie quality doesn't drop (or the quality ceiling at least, we are talking about DreamWorks here).
I mean, it's sad, but Sony is a cool studio now after Spiderverse and Mitchells, so I believe there'll be cool stuff coming from them with this collaboration. Bad Guys 2 is gonna look insane if its made by Sony (they clarified Sony's doing a 2025 movie and bad guys 2 got leaked for a 2025 release)
gets murdered by Inside Out 2
>A pixar film not being mid or shit in the past 3 years
Good joke mate
WE ARE SO BACK, WESTERN ANIMATED FILMS ARE GOOD AGAIN!!!
Robots are almost always based, it takes an extreme super mega homosexual to frick them up
Examples where they messed up?
So we know what to look for.
Robots by Blue Sky. It was meh.
that person forgot his namehomosexualry
Books in my country present the robot as female for some reason
That's because she identifies as female after becoming a mother to a goose.
Well, that's makes more sense now.
>trailer shows the goose flying away at the end
Absolute kino
Oh, so they finally turned the Bastion short into a full movie
>transformers one vs the wild robot
Which wins?
>gay robot frickers have Robot Dreams
>straight or lesbian robot frickers have The Wild Robot
robotgays are doing pretty good this year
and really enjoyed reading the book to my nephew
will definitely take him to go see it later this year
I can smell the 'Humanity Bad' wafting off of this like reek of a NEET's ass.
I'm willing to bet the lights in the sky are either Humans or a drone sent by them and that the robot and animals are going to fight them off.
anon it's based on a children's book
You think that somehow refutes my point?
Yes anon? Think of any children's product that go "humanity bad".
Humanity should stop being bad then, aliens and robots are ten times better and no humanity frick yeah subreddit cope is gonna beat that lmao
>The Bad Guys
>Puss in Boots: The Last Wish
>Orion and the Dark

D-dreamworks bros... are we back?
Orion was only half of a good movie
Dunno what's wrong with it. Seems fine to me. Even my niece loves it.
We were always back
Didn't Kung Fu Panda 4 suck ass?
It's not even out yet!
Also, no. It's alright. Good even.
Looks alright
>Directed and Written by Chris Sanders
Looks kino.
I don't expect DreamWorks's Wall-e, just don't make the animals annoying.
This NEEDS to have no dialog to be perfect
Why?
Depends on the story they're telling.
>What was wrong with this fox's face?
>Oh, it carries an egg in its muzzle.
Time to stop watching things on small screens. What the fox got in return? Fish?
I really like how it's painterly while at the same time not just brainlessly aping Spider-verse
Seems more in line with Last Wish given how the bears look
ok
i appreciate the effort that went into this, but why?
i just don't find stories about robots enjoyable
is anyone else sick of robot stories? they're just not appealing ... it's like literally a story about something without a soul, and we're supposed to feel empathy for it, as if the movie is training society to feel feelings for our eventual AI robot overlords in our doomed terminator world-end route
honestly, every time there's a movie that's pretending a robot needs to be 'saved', i'm always on the side that's chanting "KILL IT!! KILL THE ROBOTS" because yeah they're just fricking machines that pretend to have personalities it needs to be destroyed
Robutts movies are great, especially the ones that don't have human protagonists
...you never saw Short Circuit, did you?
No. I'll check out what it's about.
some "robot you are supposed to feel empathy for" movies I can remember pissing me off are:
AI artifical intelligence, ex machina, prometheus, Chappie.
It's hard to not feel SOME empathy due to the human actors, but honestly if any of these were IRL I'd 100% vote to just destroy all the robots. They are machines. They do not have real feelings or souls, and the people who treat them as such have low IQ and need to stop being catered to. It's literal code made to manipulate you; it's a blight on society and needs to be eradicated.
just saw the trailer and:
-this movie will 100% piss me off
-CUTE actress though from Breakfast Club!
AI generated posts.
I don't get it where are the waifus how am I supposed to enjoy this movie
This movie looks great, but I’m a bit bummed out that it’s the last film they’re making in-house. I know Dreamworks tends to partner up with other companies but I hope this doesn’t bring down the uptick in quality they’ve been having lately.
Hey this actually looks dece-
>the animals have celebrity voice actors
I swear I’ve heard that version of the song in a trailer before. 0/10. Won’t watch. Clearly unimaginative crap.
