Lupita Nyong’o, Catherine O’Hara Suggest Audiences Bring Tissues to Tear-Jerker ‘The Wild Robot’
Lupita Nyong'o, Catherine O'Hara and the cast of 'The Wild Robot' suggest bringing tissues to see their heartwarming animated film.
The movie, a sci-fi survival story about a robot that’s marooned on an uninhabited island, debuts on Sunday night at Toronto Film Festival and may prompt moviegoers to shed a few tears. As the android ROZZUM unit 7134, who goes by Roz (voiced by Nyong’o), learns to adapt to the harsh surroundings, she gradually builds relationships with other animals on the island — O’Hara voices a droll mother possum called Pinktail, Kit Connor plays an orphaned gosling named Brightbill, Mark Hamill is grumpy grizzly bear Thorn — and starts to raise Brightbill. Chris Sanders, an animation veteran known for “Lilo and Stitch” and “How to Train Your Dragon,” directed “The Wild Robot,” adapted from Peter Brown’s book of the same name.
