Based on the children’s novel of the same name written by Peter Brown, wild robotfrom DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures, opens this Friday October 11 after having awakened the curiosity of viewers first with its powerful visual style, which makes it look like a moving painting, and second with its theme, full of improvement, instinct and respect for nature.
Chris Sanders, known for his work in films such as Lilo & Stitch y How to train your dragondirects and writes this adaptation, and we already tell you that he has known capture the essence of the original bookadding to the mix everything he learned in his years of career, achieving a remarkable result that it only falters in some pointsmore in Spanish than in the original version.
A new reference in the artistic and visual
wild robot It is to see in the cinema, let’s start from there, and that is especially true for some images that look hand painted and that at any moment it seems that they are going to leave the screen, demonstrating that computer animation in general and DreamWorks in particular still they have a lot to say.
Once we have reached a certain level of visual quality like we reached years ago (there we have Frozen II o Toy Story 4 among many others as an example) it is time to focus on different artistic stylesy wild robot It is, today, one of the best exponents. Of course throughout his 102 minutes long (just enough) we will get used to what is shown to us on the screen, but that does not mean that we are facing a film that is best experienced on a big screen and with the most powerful and immersive sound possible.
Sonically one of lime and one of sand
It won’t be because of their voices, with the unfortunate decision to hire non-professional voice actors for it. Macarena García, who already dubbed Mavis in Hotel Transylvaniadoes it here undoubtedly better than in the 2012 film and later, being accompanied by Álvaro Morte (The Money Heist) which does not do particularly badly, but none is on par with the rest of a cast that has among its cast names like those of Miguel Ángel Jenner.
Yes for his music. We were going to say that it didn’t matter what language we saw it in here, but that’s not true, and although Chiara Oliver gives her best in a beautiful song, this one, mid-projectionis so isolated from the rest of the compositions that we will hear before and especially after the tearful moment in which it arrives that, far from standing out for the better, will do so to prove us even more right in that at times wild robot it’s too nerdy.
Do androids dream of electric moms?
In fact, this is by far the biggest fault we can give to a film that At first it seems to be about wildlife and how the natural environment is relentless and may seem unfair but it won’t take long to come back especially pastel with a story of improvement that we all know how it will end but luckily and after a central segment where this is extremely noticeable takes flight like a goose in winter.
Because we haven’t talked yet what’s going on wild robota film that in an absolutely hilarious way at the beginning tells how a robot model ROZZUM 7134, or Roz to friends, will take care of a goose chick with growth problems and help him before the time of migration.
It could have been a new masterpiece
Luckily you will not be alone because you will have the help of Rascal, a very mischievous but marginalized fox by the rest of the animals on the island and who at first seems to have double intentions. However, wild robot it doesn’t take long forget about that mischief of Bribón and that fun is not incompatible with emotion and teaching values (the first 15 minutes are non stop laughing), and which could have been the new one Wall-E It is hopelessly blurred to focus on its most sensitive side.
If you are of an age, you will also identify with the mother opossum
A path that will not abandon for a long time where also will betray its initial values where wildlife is precisely that and not a mere sweet fable for children which is what it becomes. However, except towards its equator, its rhythm never falters and ends up convincing.
In fact, its ending is full of action and the musical themes are filled with percussion, strings (especially violin) and brass instruments, giving us back the good flavor of the opening minutes, at least in part.
