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 Sanders about his own previous experience with animated films and how that shaped his approach to this one. Watch the video above to hear about the very specific details of Roz’s appearance that mattered to him and how he worked to achieve them.
The Wild Robot is streaming on Peacock.
