Wild Robot
-
Animated feature by Dreamworks, distributed by Universal. I watched it with Jack. My brother is listed in the credits under technical.
I’m pretty sure no one here watches animated features, but if you do this is the one to watch! It’s spectacular! My brother describes it as “painterly” and that’s a good description. It looks like it was painted by Albert Bierstadt.

Banner evening for TV! After Jack went home we watched “Here”. Scored 37 on Rotten Tomatoes.
One of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time!

My bro the tech guy provided me this info. Not sure what it means but it sounds impressive!
“ So, for some context, wild robot peaked at 2.7 Petabytes of storage, and consumed about 300 million cpu hours of compute. (Using our water-cooled HPC cluster)”.

The book The Wild Robot is based on is excellent! For kids, obviously, but my guess is it’ll be a modern classic.
