I pulled the trigger today and sent my first feature screenplay out for review. I should get some pages of notes back, and I have no idea if i'll get a "what the hell is this crap?" or a "this is kind neat" so i'll just be sitting here anxious for 3-5 days then.

jpAnimation keeps trying to have it both ways: scientific realism + talking-animal emotion—and the seams are showing. The Wild Robot wants believable tech but handwaves biology.
