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 goose. Lupita Nyong’o is joined by writer-director Chris Sanders to discuss her major credits and their time together making The Wild Robot. author Peter Brown, the inspiration for “The Wild Robot” came from a sketch he did 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.

I loved this movie
Kiss the Sky (from ‘The Wild Robot’) Written by Delacey, Jordan Johnson, Stefan Johnson, Maren Morris, Michael Pollack, Ali Tamposi Performed by Maren Morris Produced by The Monsters & Strangerz & Orchestral arrangement by Isaiah Tejada by Kris Bowers Maren Morris appears courtesy of Columbia Records by arrangement with Sony Music Entertainment. It has a wonderful message of tolerance and unity. The voice acting is charming. The animation is very good, sometimes surprising.
But it’s nice to dream
I enjoyed the story, although I can see some people thinking it was too corny or corny. In a world so divided and a country seemingly irreparably divided, it is very refreshing to experience a story of characters coming together, being able to. embrace their differences and build a community. Unfortunately, that is also what makes it fiction.
I loved this movie
The fact that the title character, and the character who inspires all the change, is the ultimate “other.” just serves to make the point more elegantly. I suppose some people will think it is manipulative and tugs at the audience’s heartstrings unnecessarily. But for me, that is part of the beauty.
