In the opening scenes of The Wild Robot, a chirpy metal android with a state-of-the-art processing unit wanders around a forest asking confused animals if it can help them, offering discount codes and stickers for future customers.
Sanders didn't just nail it; he lasered it. The Wild Robot is the fish-out-of-water tale of a futuristic helper robot who ends up marooned on an island when a storm sinks its container ship.
The robot ROZZUM unit 7134, or Roz for short is voiced by Lupita Nyong'o in a spectacularly nuanced performance, sprightly robotic at first and eventually natural and wry.
The movie keeps the basic structure of the book but ups some characters... like elevating the importance of Pascal's red fox and has a tendency to go a little Hollywood, like sending a robot army after Roz and setting everything on fire.
