In Chris Sanders’ The Wild Robot, Roz (Lupita Nyong’o) is a robot accidentally delivered to the middle of an island with only animals on it. Her programming compels her to figure out a way to adjust to what’s around her, which results in her learning how to communicate with all the animals and taking young goose Brightbill (Kit O’Connor) under her wing.
Awards Buzz spoke with composer Kris Bowers about doing his first-ever animated score and the challenges associated with it. Watch the video above to hear about his collaborative process with the film’s Oscar-nominated sound team and songwriter Maren Morris.
