Part 2/10:
Produced by DreamWorks, The Wild Robot has emerged as a surprising cinematic hit, earning an impressive $35 million during its opening weekend. Unlike typical blockbusters driven by massive IP or franchise hype, this film operates on a more straightforward premise—an authentic family film that emphasizes old-fashioned storytelling without the woke or "Dei" (diversity, equity, inclusion) overload that some critics argue has bogged down Disney's recent offerings.
What’s particularly noteworthy is the film's star power. Lupita Nyong'o, known for her roles in blockbuster Marvel movies like Black Panther and Wakanda Forever, lends her voice to the film, hinting at the caliber of talent attracted to projects that prioritize substance over spectacle.
