In The Wild Robotof Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, Dragons, The Croods), we follow the story of Roz, a robot stranded on a desert island where he learns to live with animals. Met to find out more about this lovely animated film, its creator delivered First some works and artists who nourished this project, released in cinemas this week.
He immediately cites Tyrus Wong, a famous illustrator who worked on Bambifrom Disney studios (1942), as well as Hayao Miyazaki, Sanders not hiding his passion for My Neighbor Totoroan animation classic to which The Wild Robot often echoes. He also explains to us why Roz does not have a mouth, and should not be as expressive as the iron giant, in order to respect the tradition of notable robots in cinema. Brad Bird's is an exception, most of these metal characters can't operate their mouths… if they have one!
