Sea bunnies.
Go look 'em up if you haven't seen one before. They look nothing like this but they're still pretty cute. (Depends on what you find cute? I guess??)
I feel like I should do more Night In the Woods fanart... I guess we'll have to wait and see :)

Bruh I thought I was gonna get her out of there not straight up kill her
...Jeez. I'm not sure whether to feel guilty, horrified or... Something else...
(Also; yay, more Nightmares! This is definitely going to end well for me..)
Made a review for The Wild Robot forever ago and will post here just cause why not
I have a lot to say about this movie. The animation, first off, was gorgeous. It looks like it resembles a painting of sorts (no doubt inspired by Puss In Boots: The Last Wish), which you can mostly see through the environment and the animal's fur textures.
Speaking of the animation, during Fink's story, the animation changes to a 2D-like style and the frame rate drops pretty noticeably. Not sure how to feel about it, but it's utilised well enough and the film doesn't overuse it. The lighting in the movie, as well, was very nice, the red of the flames and the blue of the sky contrasts very well. This along with the robots self-destructing, the entirety of the forest's day/night scenes, and the bright white of the city are very well done IMO.
The soundtrack, from what I could hear during watching, seemed to be pretty limited with its use of an orchestra and motif. Despite the repetitiveness, it serves its purpose well as the film's main soundtrack.
The characters are interesting. Roz is definitely the most interesting out of all the main cast, though (except for maybe Brightbill).
Alright, so, Roz is a sentient robot that learned everything she knew from the environment around her. That's the entire reason we see her occasionally "act" like some of the animals later on in the movie. Something cool I noticed while watching was that as she was setting up another Rozzium to talk to, as soon as she started speaking to it and changed its name, I could feel that she had a bit more emotion in her voice and that she sounded uncertain and more...human. It's a pretty nice and subtle way of of conveying the fact that Roz gained sentience without the movie outright saying it. She tried her best to take care of Brightbill, doing as well as a robot could (even with her "learning mode"). Speaking of Roz's learning mode, IMO it was a really cool way for Roz to understand the world around her and allow her to communicate with the island's animals. Seeing Roz learn about the island and how to take care of herself and Brightbill was pretty interesting to watch. Her lack of sentience and understanding of living things early on in the movie is nice to see change once she begins to understand what being a mother and your own "self" is.
Now, onto Fink! He's a bit more "typical" of a character; a cunning fox taking advantage of someone who doesn't know better so he could get food easier. Sounds kinda like the fox from The Plague Dogs tbh. Anyway, Fink starts off as a typical fox character, right? But over time, he shows that he does care, at least a little about Roz, Brightbill and the other animals. Hell, he even bothered to help Roz find the other animals and bring them to their shelter despite him not wanting to. Also, thinking about it now, maybe Fink's occasional mention about how nobody likes him and how he doesn't have friends, maybe he's just saying that because he wants friends. Eh, it was probably obvious but I sort of thought about it while I was typing this.
Okay okay. Brightbill. This freaking goose. I love the attention to detail in this movie in general, but the way Brightbill gets attached to Roz and even adopts her mannerisms?? Beautiful storytelling right there. It's probably a bit of a "no duh" moment but I thought it was nice. Anyway, he and Roz have probably the best (and some of the only) arcs in the whole movie. Like Roz, he had a bit of a steep learning curve considering the fact that he grew up learning from a non-living being that probably didn't understand how life worked at the time. Despite that, though, Brightbill was able to overcome what weaknesses he had and learn to fly and (kind of) swim.
The rest of the animals didn't really do too much until the second half of the movie. During the first half, though, we see their fear of Roz and how it impacts the characters and story once Roz begins to understand them and when Brightbill comes into the picture. Honestly, I'd say their fear is at least somewhat justified. A strange giant metal creature essentially causing havoc and potentially harming other animals makes Roz seem pretty terrifying if you don't know what's up (though their treatment of Brightbill was a bit fucked up. Like, why the hell would you shove the kid underwater when he doesn't know how to swim?? Those geese were just straight up bullies).
Next, the story itself. The first half of the story, up until the geese arrive at the city, is very good. There's not much I have to say about this, although I feel like the spend a bit too long on Roz, Brightbill and Fink. But that's just my opinion. Anyway, the second half of the movie kinda felt....underwhelming. Like, it was good, but I wish they had more time to expand a bit more on the villain whose name eludes me (It's Vantra, apparently). She didn't quite feel like the main villain of the movie. Yeah, she was following orders and trying to take Roz away and wipe her memories, sending out other robots to capture her and self-destructing them and causing a massive fire, but she didn't do much (besides the last few points) that felt entirely villainous. She was just following orders for the most part. Still, even if she outright claimed to be a morally ambiguous character (what was the reason for staying that, anyway? Was it just for the audience or something?), she still did some kinda shitty stuff in the movie. But, considering the city's way of handling the geese in the greenhouse, yeah I feel like it makes sense that she'd do what she did. Another thing about the second act is that Roz's whole "I was shut off but I could still hear you" thing kind of felt a bit cheesy to me. It didn't make much sense logic-wise either, but the movie was only an hour and 40 minutes, so they probably had to come up with a good, quick way to end the story.
The second half of the movie overall, I feel like they could have done way more with it, but I'm okay with what we got, albeit somewhat disappointed. If they make a sequel, I hope they show more of the city and how it works, because it seems like it has some potential going for it. A random theory I have about the city is that, judging by the robot's behaviour in the second half of the movie, the city's one of those fake utopia's that's really fucked up under the surface. We'll see, though.
Okay, so I have a bit more to say about the movie, but it's mostly just random other stuff. You can scroll to the bottom if you're not interested :)
The voice actors did pretty good. The only one I thought was not as good was Mark Hamil. I'm just not a fan of the voice he did for the bear.
For the people who know, have you noticed that Roz's and Brightbill's part of the story seems a lot like the plot of Leafie: A Hen Into the Wild? For those who don't know, Leafie is a Korean animated film that's about a hen named Leafie taking care of a baby duck she names Greenie after his parents die. Go watch it if you haven't! It has a wonderful story and animation.
The Wild Robot is kind of intense for a kid's movie tbh. It was good though, it just kind of surprised me while I was watching.
I really like the realistic way the movie handles the animals (someone finally uses the right call for a hawk. Which is commonly used as an eagle's screech because the eagle does not sound as scary as it looks). The inclusion of migration and the threat of death and whatnot was a nice addition.
Thanks to everyone who bothered to read my essay of a post! I hope whatever I've said throughout made sense. I'm not all that great at explaining things lol
Sorry if there's any formatting issues btw, I tried my best to make it somewhat readable :’)
Been doing things on Fallen London after forever of not playing and it's honestly been really fun lol
Before and after. I didn't really like the first one so I remade it
Thoughts?
