There was an early trailer for "The Wild Robot" without dialogue that made it look pretty incredible. Then, a following trailer showed the cute little animals yap yap yapping, and it was a real comedown, particularly after the brilliant "Robot Dreams". Tough sell, Dreamworks!
Thankfully it’s still a good movie, but that teaser was what originally excited me, and I really do think going dialogue free would have lifted it to real greatness. Alas.

With how many movies you're seeing, plus all these great write ups, you must really be running on fumes! Amazing stuff!
Thanks! Also, I truly am deranged lol.
