Legends Podcast #718; Wild Robot (2024)
Episode description
In 2024, just last year, several animated films from all over the world found their way to Oscar nominations. Tonight we wonder if robots would survive better in the wild than we would. We’re talking about the animated adaptation of Peter Brown’s beloved novel. Directed and Co-Written by Chris Sanders The writer/Director behind The Croods, How to Train Your Dragon, and everything Lilo & Stitch, and featuring Lupita Nyong’o as Roz the Robot, Kit Conner as Brightbill, Pedro Pascal as Fink, as well as the voices of Catherine O’Hara, Matt Berry, Bill Nighy and Ving Raimes, this film answers the age-old question: What happens when a highly advanced piece of technology is dropped into the wilderness with zero WiFi?
We are diving into the breathtaking animation, the emotional storytelling, and whether this truly captures your heart. Did it make us laugh? Cry? Reconsider our relationships with raccoons? Let’s discuss!
So, power up, recalibrate your circuits, and let’s get wild with The Wild Robot!
