I managed to locate a non-dubbed screening of The Wild Robot on Monday and I really liked it!
It was cliched as hell and you've seen the story played out a million times, but it was a story well told; very charming and at times quite funny (and some of the humour was edgier than I expected… the possum family's obsession with death was among my favourite bits).
The voice work was brilliant and the animation excellent. I think maybe I prefer this one to Inside Out 2, which is the only other animated film I've seen in theatres this year (and which I greatly enjoyed).

The Wild Robot comes across cliched but good nonetheless. Haven't seen it yet but will soon.

I watched Transformers One yesterday and it had no right being that good! The film worked surprisingly well and wasn't expecting it to be great since family films tend to be hit or miss.

Also I'm new to the film scene on Push Square so, Hello there!

@Hogs-of-War-General Hello there and welcome Glad to hear Transformers One delivered! It doesn't drop in my neck of the woods until October 11th, so I've still got a wee wait, but the trailer made me LOL so I'm really looking forward to it

Thanks and glad to join the discussion!

3 week delay? That's wild but I understand. I was worried about the humor based on the trailer but most of the humor works well, some is a bit elementary but that's understandable and acceptable considering the audience.

The soundtrack was great as well as the pacing and editing. The film has a lot more soul and heart than most of the films of 2024 so far.

@Hogs-of-War-General Yeah, I expect the delay is tied to when they get the dubbing done. The Wild Robot was released a bit back for TIFF, so they probably had a print early to start dubbing and get that one ready closer to the worldwide premiere date. Thankfully they only dub kids' movies, so this isn't that big a problem. Some smaller releases sometimes are held until there are gaps in the schedule, but most of the big releases hits screens
