THE WILD ROBOT is the story of an unlikely bond between a robot and a bird. A robot named Rozzum 7134 aka Roz (Lupita Nyong’o) washes ashore on a remote island. An amphibious animal accidentally activates her. Roz is designed to be an all-purpose robot and starts promoting her service… to the animals. The animals, however, get scared and run away on seeing her. One animal attacks Roz and while running, she unintentionally crushes a goose nest. All but one egg survives. The egg hatches and the baby goose sees Roz. The baby assumes Roz is his mother and starts following her. Pinktail (Catherine O’Hara), a mother opossum, instructs Roz to feed the goose and teach her how to swim and fly before the migration begins. Roz considers this as her task, and she dedicatedly tries to fulfil it. She falters and gets help from Fink (Pedro Pascal), a shrewd fox. Roz and Fink name the goose Brightbill (Kit Connor). The trio form a great team, but Brightbill soon realizes that he’s a misfit among the other birds due to the upbringing given by Roz. What happens next forms the rest of the film.
