Lupita Nyong'o is joined by writer-director Chris Sanders to talk about notable credits and their time making The Wild Robot together.. According to author Peter Brown, the inspiration for "The Wild Robot" came from a sketch he did of a robot in a tree. He then asked the question "What would an intelligent robot do in the wilderness?". When the fox enters the lodge, a moose near the doorway grunts but the sound effect used is a recording of a bear.. Roz: [from trailer] Sometimes, to survive, you must become more than you were programmed to be.. One post credit scene. Paddler and Fink plant a tree together.

Look, my expectations were already pretty high. This was one of my most anticipated films of the year ever since I saw the first teaser and then avoided the others to get spoiled. But even so, I can't believe I'm about to say this, but this might actually be the best animated feature in DreamWorks history. Seriously, seeing it is believing. This is seriously one of the most visually gorgeous looking animated movies ever made. It's simply stunning from start to finish, full of enchantment and incomparable beauty that fills the screen with color and life. It really is as if it were a Studio Ghibli animation made from Monet's paintings, and there are times when it's even hard to process everything they have to show you. It's certainly the most impactful work of animation I've seen since the first "Spider-Verse" and an evolution of what the studio did with "The Bad Guys" and "Puss in Boots: The Last Wish", and if you hesitate, it's even more beautiful than all of them. I can only imagine what a beauty like this must be like on an IMAX screen and maybe even in 3D, and I will definitely go after that experience when it officially releases, but even in a normal XD theater it was a great spectacle that took my breath away at every frame.The story itself is quite simple in concept and essence, and if there is anything that can lead to some people criticizing the film, it would probably be for that. But I don't see why anybody would do that because it executes everything it wants to do in an exquisite and irresistible way. I think people forget that even narratives as simple as this also require a lot of effort to make it work, and this film makes it seem easy because it doesn't even need to do much and it wins you over right away. It is an extremely moving journey from beginning to end and is full of very beautiful themes and captivating and lovable characters that deserve to be remembered. The pace is calm and knows how to take its time with the necessary patience, the action is measured but is electrifying when it happens, and the emotional moments hit hard but never with forced appeal, but rather because they earn them through everything they've built triumphantly. The humor and melodrama are balanced just right, although it is much more focused on the dramatic side, but it is one of those that just warms your heart in a very cozy and touching way.
