Tale
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 was lucky enough to catch an early screening of ‘The Wild Robot,’ and it quickly became one of my favorite films of the year.
This beautifully animated film goes beyond being just family-friendly; it’s an emotional and thought-provoking experience
From the stunning visuals to the heartwarming story, ‘The Wild Robot’ conveys powerful messages about empathy, connection, and what it means to belong. The film effortlessly blends lighthearted moments with deeper emotional themes, making it an instant classic in my eyes. I was an emotional wreck (in the best way possible) for most of it, completely immersed in the story and the characters’ experiences.
It’s rare to find an animated film that touches you so deeply, and I can’t recommend it enough
“The Wild Robot” is a true 10/10, and I’m excited to see how it touches others the way it touched me. Check out our list of exciting new films from this year’s film festivals, including Venice, TIFF, the New York Film Festival, and more.
