Briefly

Lupita Nyong'o's approach to voicing "Roz" was deeply immersive, as she took the time to understand the character's essence, making the vocal portrayal both emotional and robotic.
The recording sessions for "The Wild Robot" were intensive, leading to Nyong'o straining her vocal cords to the point of forming a polyp, which ultimately halted production.
