From Universal Pictures and DreamWorks Animation, and directed by Lilo & Stitch creator and three-time Oscar nominee Chris Sanders, comes an epic family-friendly adventure with The Wild Robot. The film is an adaptation of bestselling author and illustrator Peter Brown's trilogy that captures the novels' playfulness and wonderment through animation and an award-winning cast, including Lupita Nyong'o as the lead, Pedro Pascal, Catherine O'Hara, Stephanie Hsu, Bill Nighy, Kit Connor, and Mark Hamill.

In addition to its stunning visuals, The Wild Robot is a story about ROZZUM unit 7134, or Roz (Nyong'o), who wakes up one day on a strange island all alone. Or at least, they think they're alone. The island is inhabited by many creatures — bears, foxes, geese, opossums, and more — and as Roz begins to adapt and learn from their surroundings, they also become the parent of an orphaned gosling (Connor).

Ahead of its theatrical release, Collider's Steve Weintraub spoke with the film's lead, Nyong'o, about the journey she and the cast and crew took to bring this story to screen. Though she says the film is "quite beautiful" and that she was living her dream at the Toronto International Film Festival world premiere, the actress also discusses why The Wild Robot wasn't an "immediate yes" for her. She talks animation, working with Sanders, and more in the full conversation.
