The Wild Robot with Chris Sanders | Picturehouse

The Love Of Cinema

Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to writer and director Chris Sanders about his new animated feature, The Wild Robot.

The Wild Robot follows Rozzum 7134 (“Roz” for short), a futuristic robot that washes ashore on a deserted island.

A tale of survival and discovery begins when she becomes the unexpected protector to an orphaned gosling, which she names Brightbill. Together they struggle to survive the harsh environment, but only succeed with the help of a close-knit group of misfit animals, who become first friends, then family. Ultimately Roz and company save the island from a robotic invasion by Roz’s manufacturer, looking to bring her back to civilization by any means necessary.
