out of all the things i've cried at, john krasinski as a robot in a fucking netflix animated movie was not one i was expecting in the slightest

WHO THE HELL GAVE THIS FILM THE RIGHT?!?!

From the promo on the homepage of Netflix I assumed this would be a mediocre Big Hero 6 rip off. Hot damn I was wrong. It hits a lot of the same beats but is surprisingly mature in its storytelling. The animation and overall aesthetic was just sublime! I love the chemistry between the lead characters as well and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't blubbing towards the end. I went in expecting a campy mess but this flick packs one hell of an emotional gut punch.

mr john krasinski as an adorable robot, sign me up

where’s my robot john krasinski???

big hero 6 at the beginning, iron giant at the middle, and age of ultron at the end LOL

this was cute but so cool and I watched it by myself because my brothers called this a “pussy movie” like girl bye

Mmm... eh.

It has a predictable plot and its tonal shifts are more jarring than they are organic, but Netflix's Next Gen is a beautifully animated sci-fi story filled with plenty of heart and charm, along with a stellar voice cast and stunning visuals.

Decent, but it has several moments that are forgettable.

siri where can I find a translator that makes my dog sounds like michael peña

This robo-buddy flick has a serious lack of emotional weight until later in this story of a unlikely bond in a seriously unoriginal world, which doesn't mean it ignores the meaningful and interesting consequences of anger and memory loss. It's all slowed down by a loading time which is caused by the clogging of characters I couldn't care about and a sense of genericness.

I loved the art and animation. Really vivid and well realized. An exceptional cast. As heartful as its counterparts over at Disney Pictures and Pixar. It also managed to be a fun little examination of our obsession with technology and how some use it to fill a void in their life.

fully wondered if this was big hero 6

10/10 would die for you, stupid robot.

"the most important parts of me are the memories of you. it hurts when i lose them." <3

If I love anything, it's movies about emotionally detached people.
