Synopsis: An adaptation of Peter Brown’s award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot is an epic adventure staring Academy Award® winner Lupita Nyong’o as Roz, a robot that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must adapt to the harsh surroundings. Gradually Roz starts building relationships with the animals on the island, including a clever fox voiced by Pedro Pascal, and becomes the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling named Brightbill voiced by Kit Connor.
