I watched “The Wild Robot” last night. It has 5-star reviews from everyone that I read online. The animation is beautiful and the characters are diverse. But it left me feeling a bit sick at my stomach. Am I the only person who noticed that the sentient robot becomes a slave to humanity in the end?

No, but I was glad to see ...
the robot did not forget its wild family.

We don't know what happened after that either. The future is unwritten. It just occurred to me that the animals are all mortal as well. Sorry. That is not going to cheer anyone up.

Recieved the Mihmiverse films in the mail Monday. Started watching yesterday, while playing The Sims 2 from Steam.
The Monster of Phantom Lake - with Josh Craig
It Came From Another World! - with Josh Craig
Cave Women on Mars - with Josh Craig
Terror from Beneath the Earth
Destination Outer Space - with Josh Craig
I was going to post this when I finished them, but Destination Outer Space was very ambitious for about $10,000. A lot happens in an hour and a half (and four minutes), but it did not seem rushed. It seemed almost epic in length, to me, but it was never boring. LOTs of CGI effects, and though they are not ILM quality, they are very suited for the Mihmiverse films. There are several nods to Star Wars in the movie.
It ends with a to be continued, but I don't know if that every happens. The film was made in 2010, and the star, Josh Craig, who has been in three other Mihmiverse films as a professor, but also his son in the last two, has not appeared in any other Mihmiverse films (according to IMDB)

I've enjoyed all of these, watching three films a day. I have one more today.
(And my Sim is doing well.)

Thanks to Double Retired for provide great reviews of the Mihmiverse films he and his bride have seen. Starting with The Monster of Phantom Lake I always enjoy his posts, but I enjoy so many others posts as well, seeing what they watch and sometimes getting an idea of what I might watch.
