LACMA members are invited to join FILM at LACMA for a special screening of The Wild Robot, followed by a conversation with Writer and Director Chris Sanders, Composer Kris Bowers, Film Editor Mary Blee and Production Designer Raymond Zibach.
From DreamWorks Animation comes The Wild Robot, written and directed by three-time Oscar® nominee Chris Sanders—the writer and director of How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods, and Lilo & Stitch.
The cinematic adaptation of Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, the epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, “Roz” for short—that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.
The Wild Robot stars Academy Award® winner Lupita Nyong’o (12 Years a Slave, Us) as robot Roz; Emmy and Golden Globe® nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) as fox Fink; Emmy® winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek, Best in Show) as opossum Pinktail; Oscar® nominee Bill Nighy (Living, Love Actually) as goose Longneck; Kit Connor (Heartstopper, Rocketman) as gosling Brightbill and Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once) as Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island.
The Wild Robot has received four Golden Globe nominations (Best Animated Film, Best Score for Kris Bowers, Best Song for “Kiss the Sky,” and Box Office Achievement) and three Critics Choice Award nominations f(Best Animated Film, Best Score for Kris Bowers, and Best Song for “Kiss the Sky”)
