Chris Sanders, animation legend, joins Popcorn Podcast to discuss his new film The Wild Robot, featuring the voice talents of Lupita Nyong'o and Kit Connor. The DreamWorks adaptation of Peter Brown's beloved novel about a Robot shipwrecked on an uninhabited island was an ambitious undertaking, and Sanders set out to celebrate the story’s bold, distinctive qualities; to push the visual boundaries; and to highlight the intricate emotions and themes interwoven throughout the narrative. In a wide-ranging Popcorn Podcast interview, Sanders shares what he is most proud of about the film; how The Wild Robot's unique style aligned to the DreamWorks “look and feel”; the non-negotiable elements of Peter Brown's story; and what there is to learn from the beauty of ignorance.
