Movies Does The Wild Robot win an Oscar for best picture this cycle?

[Islam Imamate]

It has great numbers. $324M box office for a $78M budget.

Rule of thumb is that a movie has to make twice its budget to break even so a box office of ~4x the budget is a comfortable profit.

It's more impressive in this case than it would be for a typical movie. Look at the production value. It's clear not much of the budget went for promotion.

It's returning to theaters on January 17

While "The Wild Robot" is widely considered a strong contender for the "Best Animated Feature" Oscar, its chances of being nominated for "Best Picture" are considered slim, as the Academy often has a bias against animated films, even when critically acclaimed; however, some critics believe its high quality could potentially break that barrier and earn a Best Picture nomination, particularly given its positive reception and strong critical reviews.

Key points about "The Wild Robot" and Best Picture:

• • Strong contender for Best Animated Feature:
    Most predictions see "The Wild Robot" as a frontrunner for the Best Animated Feature Oscar.
    
  • Potential barrier to Best Picture:
    Historically, animated films rarely receive Best Picture nominations, despite critical acclaim.
    
  • Critical acclaim and buzz:
    The film has garnered significant positive reviews, potentially boosting its chances for wider recognition.
    
  • DreamWorks' reputation:
    As a DreamWorks production, "The Wild Robot" could benefit from the studio's track record of quality animation.

The fact it’s getting a rerelease right before the Oscar’s further boosts its chances for Best Picture overall imo. Perhaps that’s another way of making movies work without a huge marketing push. Release the movie twice and let the buzz develop from the first release. Brilliant strategy

The plot is somewhat original and the best way for me to describe it is Ex Machina meets Charlottes Web. The character development in this film is better than anything put out in 2024 imho.

I got blazed before watching this w the kids not anticipating the depth of the film. I actually found myself getting emotional on several occasions….the animation is next level and aesthetically pleasing

I highly recommend the film even for those who dislike cartoon movies

[Loiosh]

it’s not gonna get nominated for best picture.

And it really shouldn't.

 

[Ezekiel 25:17]

It might, considering how shitty actual movies have gotten..

Colorado director’s “The Wild Robot” just became one of the most nominated movies in Golden Globes history

Colorado Springs-born Chris Sanders also has a “Lilo and Stitch” live-action movie in the works.

The only other animated films to get as many Golden Globes nominations are “Beauty and the Beast,” with four, and “Aladdin,” which got 6, but those were both before the category was added in 2007. (And many were for the songs.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

It was a solid movie, no complaints here.

LoL this piece of crab couldnt even win Best Animated Film at the frickin Golden Globes, it lost out to something called Flow which I never even heard of, and you want it to take the big prize at the Oscars

Flow looks great. been waiting for a high quality torrent (last time i checked the screenshots left a lot to be desired)

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

Highly unlikely, it couldn't even win the Golden Globe for animation.

I doubt it will even get nominated for best picture.

 

[davidlemonparty]

The Brutalist will win best picture so it's a moot point.

Has an animated film ever even been nominated, let alone won?
