Kris Bowers on Scoring ‘The Wild Robot’ and Why It Made Him Reflect on Parenthood
Composer Kris Bowers on scoring "The Wild Robot" and why it struck a personal note on parenting.
Director Chris Sanders called on Bowers to write the music for the animated feature about a robot named Roz (voiced by Lupita Nyong’o) marooned on an uninhabited island. In putting the main theme together, Bowers knew it needed to encompass the idea of family, how the island represented it, and the relationship between Brightbill and Roz. This reminds me of ‘Bambi’ or ‘The Lion King’ and how they deal with death and difficult topics, it was important to handle this, not with kid gloves, but to be grounded and seriously emotional with it.”
