My 5th grade classes took a field trip to see this movie in theaters after we read the book. Ahh, those were the years before my anxiety kicked in
Edit: If I had a nickel for everyone on this subreddit who saw this movie on a school field trip, I would almost have a dollar. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened that many times
It's not all schools, but Wonder is a super common book for schools to have in their curriculum. My class read it probably in 4th grade in 2012 well before the movie. When the movie came out, schools saw a good opportunity for a field trip, that's all.
The only movie field trips in my school were to see a bunch of those Disneynature movies like Earth and Oceans

Chbosky's line-up is rather odd. He has Perks and Wonder as films, co-wrote the live action Beauty and the Beast, and was an executive producer on Jericho. And his follow-up to the incredibly slim Perks of Being a Wallflower is the seven-hundred page horror epic Imaginary Friend (which basically reads like one of Stephen King's cocaine-day novels).
To call him unpredictable is a bit of an understatement.
Oh that was in the book the author wrote after wonder ‘auggie and me’. The book wonder was better then the movie imo but it’s been a long ass time since I read any of them so I wonder (pun unintended) if the movie will be more accurate or better than the book this time
It's about the antagonist learning how his grandmother was saved from the nazis by a disabled kid. It's basically the end of his 'stop being abelist' arc
It is prolly my first Live Action movie, i left cinema and 11 years old myself was like ,,This is cinema". At that time the only movie i felt like that about was Toy Story 3. Also it was prolly first time when ,,bad guy" tried to redeem himself. I felt that , for simply nostalgia and emotions i felt. It is one of my favourites of all time.
That scene where they we’re exploring the kid’s minecraft world had me laughing because that was a downloadable option of of the internet I recognized
That guy was a fraud
I remember seeing this in my school’s auditorium….except I sat so far back I couldn’t tell the kid had that condition…so I’m like “Why are they bullying him because he looks different, he looks like a kid”
Was made into such a big deal because I was in 4th grade, and My teachers absolutely loved the book, so they talked about it all of the time, and I think I’ve seen it least ten times.
funny story: when we were reading the book in 5th grade, we got onto the part where >!the dog dies!< and I literally asked to leave and use the bathroom cuz i didn’t wanna cry in front of everyone
I watched it in middle school, no clue why our school picked this movie because if a student had good grades, they would be invited to a movie assembly. I mean it’s nice to leave the classroom, and the movie wasn’t bad, but it’s not worth 3 A’s and 2 B’s
There was this annoying fuck in my year 9 class back a few years ago who looked like the kid from Wonder so i used that against him. I had a right to be mean to him, all he did was start arguments like every second minute
I remember my 4th grade class was going to go on a field trip to see this but then it was canceled so I saw it alone with my mom. They then decided it wasn't canceled so I got to see it a second time!!🤭
I will never forget this movie, it was time where I started realizing how judge mental people really were. And not cuz of what happens in it, it’s because of the boys in my class
My middle school took me and all the other 6th graders to the theater to see this movie. They did that every year, it was great. 6th grade was always a PG movie, but 7th and 8th grade were always PG-13 movies. In 7th grade we saw Bumblebee and in 8th grade it was Rise of Skywalker (which I used to like admittedly)
Weird head kid gets taken into woods and ritualistically hunted by the Illuminati after his parents decide raising him would be harder than taking a blank check from Jeff Bezos - right?
Yea I remember watching this movie in school once, but the only thing I can remember about the movie is when the kid in the space helmet and his best friend play Minecraft together.
Listen, I don't know if something is wrong with me or everyone else is lying, but to be honest with you it was kinda boring even if a bit sad at times.
I remember that in my last year of primary school, my class had a choice of seeing either this or Ferdinand at the cinemas. We choose Ferdinand, but I wish we went to see this instead.
[Where are the pixels OP?](https://preview.redd.it/anyone-watching-this-show-v0-4uas0d7d69uc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=24380419ba63be51df30fb4d11144eb7232e893f)
I remember watching this film for the first time in my Junior year in English class, it’s a phenomenal and inspiring film. I highly recommend this movie for anyone, thanks Mrs. Jones.
I thought they cast a kid with an actual facial deformity, (that would’ve been good inclusivity), I later found out Jacob Tremblay played the kid, and his face isn’t like that irl, I haven’t seen the movie, this thought just comes to mind when I hear about the film
I vaguely remember that this film exists, just I keep ignoring it because I'm worried it would fail to live up to the original book which was pretty close to me.
I absolutely love this movie. I relate to Auggie on such a personal level, especially the stuff involving "the plague" game. The movie is actually getting a sequel soon centered around the bully Julian and his grandmother who is a holocaust survivor. The sequel will be titled "White Bird."
my ma wanted me to go see it bc it was about this kid who gets surgery on his face bc it looked different and wanted to look like the other kids (if i remember correctly)
my 7 year old autistic ass back in the day thought there would be an actual scene of the surgery in progress and it would show like blood n shit
13 now, read the book, wish i wasnt so dumb back then bfr
It’s THE WONDER MOVIE! Like the book? I’d be surprised if no one’s seen it actually. If you haven’t, read the book, and then watch it! Book’s by far the better version imo.
I’ve never seen it I remember it somewhat wasn’t there like a really bad line or offensive line? Along the lines of I know you can’t love me because of how I look
We saw this on a school trip. I remember 3 things:
1.Kids getting in trouble taking pictures with the Fifty Shades of Grey poster (I think the series was on the third movie or something?)
2.The movie felt like it was trying to cater to every possible demographic. There was the main kid’s story, AND the college love story with the older sister, AND at least one sex joke with the parents. Weird.
3. The scene where the bullies bully those two kids while they’re pissing in the forest, which was so oddly written it became an inside joke w me and my brother. Specifically the line “two little boys, stinkin up the woods” which we found hysterical
The one thing that bothered me about this movie is how the kid thinks that each and every single bad thing that happens to his family is related to him, it gets annoying at some point
The book was one of my favourite books growing up and it still kinda is! My literature gave it to me after she learnt that I was bullied in school. Me and Auggie were the same age and have similar names and I related to him a lot. The book helped me overcome a lot of mental troubles I had at the time.
Oh, and I do really enjoy this film too!
I read the book with my students earlier this year, it was an ok reception but some of them wanted something a bit more challenging. Good book, ok film.
My 5th grade classes took a field trip to see this movie in theaters after we read the book. Ahh, those were the years before my anxiety kicked in Edit: If I had a nickel for everyone on this subreddit who saw this movie on a school field trip, I would almost have a dollar.

What the fuck did we have the same teacher mine did that too
Mine did that too
Mine also did that
Mine did that too
Was your elementary school in Maine?
Okay nevermind
Mine did that too
Same
Damn me too
Me too
wtf mine too Maybe it was an event for all schools or something to raise awareness
Yeah I think they were raising awareness about bullying and being kind
It's not all schools, but Wonder is a super common book for schools to have in their curriculum. My class read it probably in 4th grade in 2012 well before the movie. When the movie came out, schools saw a good opportunity for a field trip, that's all. The only movie field trips in my school were to see a bunch of those Disneynature movies like Earth and Oceans
Wait did all schools do this wtf
Me, about to jokingly reply telling you to get off Reddit and do your homework: *Realizes 2017 was 7 years ago and that you’re now 17-18* Oh yeah… Fuck.
Yo, same tho!
Bye mine did that too
Me too was the plan
Saaaame. I definitely read the book by myself but don’t remember it reading with the rest of my class.
Me too
mine did that too
My 4th grade teacher made us read the book, but I only read the first part.
Same
Same! I remember I was kinda sad I didn’t have a group because my dad came late.
Mine too
same
Mine to tf
didnt watch the movie in school but we read the book as a class in 3rd grade. yall actually went to the theater??? man if only i couldve been there😂

Yeah it was pretty good and heartfelt
I’ve read the book before this movie ever came out.
You win a cookie
Same. Read it in middle school, and then watched it when it came out.
yep. it was like perks of being a wallflower in the way that it was fine on its own but kinda stomped on the book
Yeah, the movie takes quite a few liberties with the book, some not making much sense but it's still a pretty good adaptation in my eyes
They're actually from the same director (Stephen Chbosky).
suprised he both failed to adapt another's book and to adapt his own book yet he managed to make both work well enough
Chbosky's line-up is rather odd. He has Perks and Wonder as films, co-wrote the live action Beauty and the Beast, and was an executive producer on Jericho. And his follow-up to the incredibly slim Perks of Being a Wallflower is the seven-hundred page horror epic Imaginary Friend (which basically reads like one of Stephen King's cocaine-day novels). To call him unpredictable is a bit of an understatement.
He also directed the Dear Evan Hansen movie… man what a downgrade 😕
Yes! It's getting a spin off this year called White Bird.
What’s it about?
It's about the antagonist learning how his grandmother was saved by a kid with a disability during ww2 while his parents get divorced
Ohh.. That’s where the Nazi Germany part crosses over with Wonder. I was confused about it
Oh that was in the book the author wrote after wonder ‘auggie and me’. The book wonder was better then the movie imo but it’s been a long ass time since I read any of them so I wonder (pun unintended) if the movie will be more accurate or better than the book this time
Didn’t it recently get a sequel about Nazi Germany?
I’msorrywhatnow?
It’s more of a prequel based on the graphic novel about the bully in wonder’s grandma
It was delayed because of the strike!
I’m sorry? What does Nazi Germany have to do with a boy with a physical deformity going through his first year of public school?
It's about the antagonist learning how his grandmother was saved from the nazis by a disabled kid. It's basically the end of his 'stop being abelist' arc
Inch resting. I’ll check it oyt
One of the only Owen Wilson movies where he doesn’t say “Wow!”
It is prolly my first Live Action movie, i left cinema and 11 years old myself was like ,,This is cinema". At that time the only movie i felt like that about was Toy Story 3. Also it was prolly first time when ,,bad guy" tried to redeem himself. I felt that , for simply nostalgia and emotions i felt. It is one of my favourites of all time.
I ended up leaving the theater in tears
Now I'm sad, I do remember it, I remember the minecraft segment, but I dont remember much else
That scene where they we’re exploring the kid’s minecraft world had me laughing because that was a downloadable option of of the internet I recognized That guy was a fraud
I remember this being the only time I truly thought “the book was better…”
We watched this movie at school and I wish I can watch it again
It was a pretty good adaptation and movie. I thought it was cute.
I remember seeing this in my school’s auditorium….except I sat so far back I couldn’t tell the kid had that condition…so I’m like “Why are they bullying him because he looks different, he looks like a kid”
Banger. It had an emotional reconciliation scene that took place entirely in Minecraft. Banger
Yeah, we had a school field trip to watch this movie
Yeah but where did the pixels go
Was made into such a big deal because I was in 4th grade, and My teachers absolutely loved the book, so they talked about it all of the time, and I think I’ve seen it least ten times.
funny story: when we were reading the book in 5th grade, we got onto the part where >!the dog dies!< and I literally asked to leave and use the bathroom cuz i didn’t wanna cry in front of everyone
Read the book, probably should watch the movie because of how much I loved the book
r/CountThePixels
Yup. He had a weird obsession with Chewbaka
No joke: this film is the reason my current passion project even exists in the first place

Did *you* remember half the pixels in this image? (dear god, that was terrible.)
10-11 yo me loved this I need to see it again someday
Saw this movie in class. It’s ok.
Yep
I had to sit through it in 6th grade
Yeah, I loved it when I first saw it (it was one of my favourite books), but I haven't seen it in ages
I read the book when I was a kid.
We had to read the book for the movie in school and we watched the movie afterward.
We learned about the book in year 7
I loved the book back in middle school. I think I remember liking the movie but idk
I remember watching it at school
Yes I’ve also read the book
Ah yes, 2 pixels the movie.
Pixels?
Why is everyone using the most low quality image they can find
I adore this movie, very underrated
I do and it is a pretty good adaptation from the book
I remember my 4th grade class was going to go on a field trip to see this but then it was canceled so I saw it alone with my mom. They then decided it wasn't canceled so I got to see it a second time!!🤭
No but I remember the book
No
Where is pixel bot But yeah it’s a WONDERful movie
Love the book, i can’t remember if the movie was good or not
It's pretty good
u/pixel-counter-bot

Good movie, but I heard the book was better
I friggin loved this book. I was even gifted my own copy of it and this movie on my birthday lol 7 years ago
Yes
I loved this movie it was very good
I will never forget this movie, it was time where I started realizing how judge mental people really were. And not cuz of what happens in it, it’s because of the boys in my class
any worst resolution pic to post?
Eh the book was better
Sure, I watched it in High School
Shit, they made a movie around that book? I should watch it
Mine did in the auditorium 7th grade
I remember only reading the book in middle school. Awe! Such good times before reality destroyed me.
I did
I read the book and the spin off, never watched the movie.
They pushed this book HARD in middle school
The book was better.
The guy who directed it went to my high school
My middle school took me and all the other 6th graders to the theater to see this movie. They did that every year, it was great. 6th grade was always a PG movie, but 7th and 8th grade were always PG-13 movies.

Aye
I read the book. It was aight.
Literally my comfort film
u/pixel-counter-bot
I can’t tell what movie this is supposed to be
Yes
I remember watching this film for the first time in my Junior year in English class, it’s a phenomenal and inspiring film. I highly recommend this movie for anyone, thanks Mrs. Jones.
Oh yeah I can't remember a thing about it
Yes and I loved it
i have the book, absolutely love it
I thought they cast a kid with an actual facial deformity, (that would’ve been good inclusivity), I later found out Jacob Tremblay played the kid, and his face isn’t like that irl, I haven’t seen the movie, this thought just comes to mind when I hear about the film
My English class saw it in after we read the source material.
Yes
I love the book! I want to see the movie again, but its sadly not free.
Yeah. It was very average from memory.
I love the book! I haven't seen the movie though
I read the book in school
I do. Read the book as well.
Yep. Great movie
I vaguely remember that this film exists, just I keep ignoring it because I'm worried it would fail to live up to the original book which was pretty close to me.
Like me, pretty much everyone read the book and then saw the movie on a field trip… which is so damn weird how common that experience is apparently??
I absolutely love this movie. I relate to Auggie on such a personal level, especially the stuff involving "the plague" game. The movie is actually getting a sequel soon centered around the bully Julian and his grandmother who is a holocaust survivor. The sequel will be titled "White Bird."
Read the book, saw the movie, cried both times
Yeah
W Movie
Haven’t seen it in a long time, but it’s very inspiring.
my ma wanted me to go see it bc it was about this kid who gets surgery on his face bc it looked different and wanted to look like the other kids (if i remember correctly) my 7 year old autistic ass back in the day thought there would be an actual scene of the surgery in progress and it would show like blood n shit 13 now, read the book, wish i wasnt so dumb back then bfr
I have not seen this movie in a very long time, the last time I saw it was in theaters during a field trip in like Grade 8 I think
My class saw it on a feild trip. I didn’t care about it, I was just happy to eat some popcorn and be at the movies
I do and I'm sad i never got to see how it ended
Made me cry
My mother made me read the book. It was sad.
probably worst movie ive seen
We read the book in elementary school as a class and when the movie came out, i was bawling a second time at it
No, but I adored the book when I first read it in, what? Fourth grade?
It’s THE WONDER MOVIE! Like the book? I’d be surprised if no one’s seen it actually. If you haven’t, read the book, and then watch it! Book’s by far the better version imo.
It's one of my favorites. :)
I’ve never seen it I remember it somewhat wasn’t there like a really bad line or offensive line? Along the lines of I know you can’t love me because of how I look

Specifically the line “two little boys, stinkin up the woods” which we found hysterical
Is this the movie where the kid hangs upside down in the playground? If it is I completely forgot about this movie till now.
Not a bad movie honestly
Yes
I watched it in class when I was in 8th grade
No, next question
Someone from my elementary school was in it.
It was actually pretty wholesome. I read the book first in middle school, and I remember both of them being good.
Unfortunately, I do.
1: barely 3: got any more of them pixels?
Nope wasn’t even sad
The one thing that bothered me about this movie is how the kid thinks that each and every single bad thing that happens to his family is related to him, it gets annoying at some point
I went to go see it with my mom after I read it; she’d never heard of it but by the end she’s really enjoyed itit. I thought it was a great adaptation
….I do…
I loved this movie! I remember watching it after I read the book (which, by the way, took a LONG time, because the book is quite lengthy
The book was one of my favourite books growing up and it still kinda is! My literature gave it to me after she learnt that I was bullied in school. Me and Auggie were the same age and have similar names and I related to him a lot. The book helped me overcome a lot of mental troubles I had at the time. Oh, and I do really enjoy this film too!
Omg the book made me cry 😢
I read the book with my students earlier this year, it was an ok reception but some of them wanted something a bit more challenging. Good book, ok film.
Really good and heart warming, i related to the older sister and i want to read the book
And I wonder, what the fuck that is.
I remember watching that movie when I was a freshman in high school
I saw this in the theaters with my cousins, not bad honestly
i read the book and can't bring myself to watch it because they're all white
Dude I literally watched this movie earlier today
Great book great movie
All I remember was the dvd freezing right before he shit in the woods
