Chronology
After a shipwreck, an intelligent robot named Roz is stranded on an uninhabited island
In order to survive the harsh environment, Roz bonds with the island’s animals and takes care of an orphaned goose. Lupita Nyong’o sits down with writer-director Chris Sanders to discuss their significant credits and time together making Wild Robot. According to author Peter Brown, the inspiration for “Wild Robot” came from a sketch he made of a robot on a tree. He then asked the question “What would an intelligent robot do in the desert?” When the fox enters the cabin, the moose growls by the door, but the sound effect used is a recording of a bear.
