Narrative
After a shipwreck, an intelligent robot named Roz is stranded on an uninhabited island
To survive the harsh environment, Roz bonds with the animals on the island and cares for an orphaned baby goose. Lupita Nyong’o joins writer-director Chris Sanders to discuss notable credits and their time together making The Wild Robot. According to author Peter Brown, the inspiration for “The Wild Robot” came from a sketch he made of a robot in a tree.

He then asked the question, “What would an intelligent robot do in the wild?” When the fox enters the cabin, a moose near the door grunts, but the sound effect used is a recording of a bear. Roz: [from the trailer] Sometimes, to survive, you have to become more than you were programmed to be. Paddler and Fink plant a tree together.

I saw Wild Robot when it premiered at TIFF and couldn’t stop thinking about it.
The story was so beautiful, so heartfelt and touching that I cried 3 times
It’s one of those movies that really makes an impact on you, and you leave the theater feeling completely changed. It was a beautiful tale of found family, unexpected bonds and the beauty of motherhood. I’m currently reading the book and can’t wait for the rest of the world to see this wonderful movie.
I loved this movie and can’t wait to watch it again
Not to mention the animation is so adorable, especially Brightbill, that you’ll be holding in a coo every couple of minutes. Check out our list of exciting new films from this year’s film festivals, including Venice, TIFF, the New York Film Festival, and more.
