who ever made the subtitles for the furby scene, NO. WHOEVER THOUGHT OF THAT ENTIRE SCENE NEEDS A RAISE.

12:58 You missed a detail: The Robots are starting to feel emotion and they become closer to humans than to the other robots throught the movie. And in this scene you can see them hold hands after seeing the giant spaceship.

Fun detail: Every time Katie adds a rainbow to something, instead of it being a normal rainbow it's a 'family' rainbow with the 4 colors that represent them. Also those drawings are more frequent and noticable when she's feeling strong emotions

I love that this movie doesn't just villainize the dad. He has a point sometimes and he's shown as genuinely loving and trying to both understand his daughter as well as pass on some lessons and real world skills. Neither side of the age gap is wrong in this case. They both learn from each other.

Aaron's search history includes:

"abbey Posey"

"abbi Posey"

"how is abbey Poseys name spelled tell me pls"

"what islove"

"do dinosaurs kiss"

"ate soda and pop rocks am i gonna die"

YOU FORGOT THE "GOT KICKED OUT OF AN OLIVE GARDEN FOR SMUGGLING A BREADSTICKS IN HER PURSE"

OKAY SO you didn't mention this, but one thing that made Katie 100% more relatable to me, an ADHD teen raised on technology, is how often we get to see her little fidgets when she isn't on her phone. Playing with and chewing on her hoodie strings, fussing with the zipper, etc. AND whenever she's overwhelmed by stuff, specifically emotions, she retreats to a secluded area with her back against a wall or similar hard surface. That's literally exactly what I do, down to her camped out in her closet at the beginning when Rick broke her laptop. I'm not exaggerating in the slightest.

"PRANCER BELONGS TO THE CANYON NOW!" is my favorite line from that entire movie

Still that moment when you can almost hear the writers and animators saying "we can be as violent as we want with this scene because it robots, and it's not blood so it's completely fine with the publishers if we put this in." Is one of the best moments in the movie just yes.

The fact that Linda's fight scene is actually super brutal and graphic, but technically not because they're robots, made me laugh for an hour

Like when the oil sprays on her blood-lusted face LMAO

After Eric and Deborah were leaving the mall, they hit each other on the head and patted each others shoulders, like they were imitating when they saw Katie and Aaron hit each other when the kill code was entered, to show excitement, I just thought I should point that out to my fellow Eric and Deborah stans (bc I’m one of them too and I died when I realized this)

That pug has the biggest kill count in the entire movie.

The actual sin is that this film was not in the movie theaters. I needed to see this in IMAX 3D 4DX, with shaking chairs, smoke, water squirting in my face, the whole deal. Excellent

He missed when the robots where basically calling the warriors robots simps

I loved this movie so much and I'm glad that they never even pretended to go for the "Phone bad/How do I click the book?" stance it could have. It celebrates the Katie's digital culture while also having her, without any real pushing, engaging with her family on their terms when she wanted to. Within moments of being into the road trip she's accepted it and doing things with her family instead of being sulky for half the film.

I think what feels so incredibly familiar about this movie is the fact that Katie and Aaron are so, so nuerodivergent coded? Both my sister and I are neurodivergent and grew up with that same closeness they present. My sister may only be a couple of years younger, but their relationship with each other, with their parents, and with the world is so clearly a match to what I grew up with. And I never saw that in movie siblings as a kid.   Man. I need to go call my sister.

i just really like the fact that the collar of aarons shirt is stretched because he chews on it when hes nervous

imagine ignoring the furby scene where they say "summon the elder"

thats a REALLY obscure reference that shows how much work went into this movie that they knew that obscure fact

The little "no!" and hand wave when Linda was in the massage chair sold me on this movie. It felt all too real.

fun fact: I did my research and this movie is historically accurate, Live Your Life (that one Rihanna song) came out in September 2008, and the recording in the movie that first showed that song had the date October 2008, I love when movies are historically accurate about the most miniscule things
