The Wild Robot

After a fierce storm sinks a research ship, a highly intelligent robot named Roz finds herself marooned on a lonely island. Unable to signal for help, she begins to study the rhythms of the coast, weather and wildlife. Rather than forcing a quick return, Roz adapts by building shelter, gathering food, and learning from the creatures that share her new home. When she discovers an abandoned egg and later a motherless baby goose, she makes it her mission to protect and nurture the hatchling, even as rival habitats and hidden dangers test her resolve. Through patient observation and careful care, Roz uncovers unexpected truths about life, friendship, and what it means to belong. Her bond with the goose grows quietly.

Directed by Chris Sanders, The Wild Robot brings the book to life with lush animation and a focus on survival. The project credits Heidi Jo Gilbert and Peter Brown as key creators, with a voice cast led by Lupita Nyong'o.
