The Wild Robot
The Wild Robot
Robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time on a remote island, after the boat transporting her sinks – activated by a curious otter who presses the button on the back of her neck. She is a learning robot who has no idea what her purpose is, apart from to survive. At first, the wild animals are terrified of Roz as she’s a huge and scary looking metal robot. But things begin to change when she adopts a newly hatched gosling (after she falls on his family and crushes them all to death), and learns to become a wonderful mother and friend.
