My official review of The Wild Robot is that if someone had told me HAVING A CHILD would make me CRY AT MOVIES more readily, I would have STILL PROBABLY HAD THE CHILD but possibly CHOSEN TO GO TO THE MOVIES LESS.

The trailer got me, I feel like the full experience is Iron Giant + Fly Away Home? I only have so many tear ducts

I cry all the damn time after having kids. Every time the music in a movie comes to a crescendo, it's ridiculous!

Yeah I was not prepared for that. I don’t think I ever cried at a movie in my whole life before my son was born (except maybe possibly when they locked up Dumbo’s mom). After my son was born:

For a long time, having a child determined what movies I got to see. I do really regret being misled by the trailers for 'The Bridge to Terabithia' and the lowness of the age rating they put on it.

I’ve read the first two books to my kids and we are very invested in Roz so we are pumped for this but also thanks for the heads up ❤️😂
