‘The Wild Robot’ Director Says Film’s Painted Style Offers an ‘Emotional and Immersive’ Experience
DreamWorks Animation legend Chris Sanders will preview his latest film 'The Wild Robot' at Annecy Film Festival.
This year, DreamWorks Animation legend Chris Sanders(co-director of “How to Train Your Dragon” and “The Croods,” as well as Disney favorite “Lilo & Stitch”) is making the trip for the first time. That meant liberating the look from the relatively photorealistic style of previous CG toons, where everything from feathers to fur has evolved to be convincing to the eye — Sanders’ dream was to make the end result reflect the extraordinary exploratory paintings that appear in concept-art books. In the footage shown at Annecy, audiences will meet Roz (voiced by Lupita Nyong’o), a high-tech helper droid designed to improve human life that crash-lands in a remote forest, where the robot immediately tries to make itself useful.
