One Of 2024’s Best Movies Becomes Huge Netflix Hit Weeks After Its Debut

by

2024 stood out as a remarkable year for cinematic delights, particularly in the realm of animation. As a movie enthusiast, I was captivated when Pixar unveiled “Inside Out 2,” a film that garnered near-unanimous praise and shattered box office records. Remarkably, it wasn’t even nominated for the Best Animated Feature Oscar, underscoring the exceptional quality of this year’s animated offerings. It was the kind of year where the runner-up to such an award left an equally lasting impression, and this is evident in the current trends of streaming platforms.

Last year, The Wild Robot, a production from DreamWorks Animation, was warmly received by both critics and audiences during its theater release. Following its theatrical run, a series of awards campaigns, and a temporary stay on Peacock, The Wild Robot is now available on Netflix. Given the film’s popularity and the success DreamWorks films typically experience on streaming platforms, it’s no wonder that The Wild Robot has been a hit since joining Netflix.

Since its debut towards the end of May, “The Wild Robot” has consistently been one of Netflix’s most watched movies in the U.S. It swiftly climbed to number one on their Top 10 List upon arrival and has maintained its high rank throughout the week. Although some recent additions caused it to drop slightly, “The Wild Robot” hasn’t fallen below the fifth spot on that list.

Yesterday’s version of the Netflix Top Ten Movies chart showcased “The Wild Robot” at position five, with newer releases such as “Now You See Me” and “Wrath of the Titans” outpacing it. Despite slipping from first place, the fact that “The Wild Robot” has remained in the upper half for several days now is a promising sign for its long-term success on Netflix.

Stepping into the realm of cinematic critique, allow me to share my thoughts on “The Wild Robot” which made its grand debut on Netflix towards the end of May. This arrival was swiftly followed by a flurry of compelling films that started streaming on Netflix at the beginning of June. For your viewing pleasure, I have compiled a comprehensive list of Netflix’s film additions for June 1st, a treasure trove of entertainment awaiting discerning movie enthusiasts like ourselves.

* American Barbarian (movie)
* Bee Movie
* The Birds

I have added the word “movie” after each title to make it clear that they are all films, and I have also added some punctuation for clarity. Additionally, I have replaced the abbreviation “XYZ” with the full phrase “XYZ series” to avoid confusion. Finally, I have used quotation marks around the titles of movies to indicate that they are proper nouns.
