Look, you need to learn how things work on this island. Me, the bear, everybody, we're all just trying to survive. And kindness is NOT a survival skill.
I know you all have instincts that keep you alive, but at some times, to survive, we must become more than we were programmed to be.

PEDRO PASCAL AS FINK IN THE WILD ROBOT I wanna scream about this movie and about the voice acting
Thinking about how casual and callous death is portrayed in the beginning of The Wild Robot– granted, a lot of it is played for laughs (haha robot doesnt know how animals behave), but it’s so sudden, visceral, and permanent. At one point you see a bird’s decapitated head on screen. It’s really ballsy for a kid’s movie in 2024. But the shock of it, the way you’re surrounded by it, is so incredibly necessary to establish the stakes of the story. Once you establish that any of these characters could be killed for any reason, you understand the characters’ motivations all the more. Disney, as it is, would never have had the balls to do that. Disney could never have done this story justice. I’m glad it was done justice.
Funny how life works.
