00:00I see trees of green and clouds of white, bright, blessed day, dark, sacred night.

00:19What a wonderful world.

00:25I love adventures, I love stories with heroes and villains and all that kind of stuff,

00:30but the stuff I always connect with is the smaller, more intimate things,

00:34the feelings that these characters are feeling.

00:36That's the stuff that I hold on to.

00:38You're his mother now.

00:39I do not have the programming.

00:41He needs to swim and fly.

00:43Swimming's easy. I can teach him the way my mom taught me.

00:47Swim!

00:51Roz is an unrelentingly kind character.

00:55In this wild place that she was never designed to be,

00:58she learns kindness can be a survival skill.

01:01Did you perhaps order a Rozum helper robot?

01:04Where do you think you're going?

01:07Everyone on Wild Robot had such a great passion,

01:09and they're all doing their best work.

01:11This magical combination of scope and heart.

01:14Based on the look of the book, and with the subject matter that we were working with,

01:17Dreamworks is the perfect studio,

01:19because the animators had already been developing this amazing illustrative style.

01:25Wow!

01:28You need to learn how things work on this island.

01:31Do you need assistance?

01:34We're really pushing the look further than what we had started on Puss in Boots, The Last Wish.

01:38It takes a lot of work, so...

01:40We did a little sample, trying to make the leaves and grass on the ground

01:44merge together into solid areas of color.

01:46That really convinced us that it could work.

01:48The vision of the art department,

01:50combined with the comfort of the artist with the technology,

01:53all those things have built up.

01:55We wanted all those painterly touches,

01:57but we still wanted to be able to follow our characters

01:59through a believable dimensional world.

02:01They've really paid attention to every single detail.

02:04Every frame of this film creates spaces where it wants you to look.

02:09Brightville was never supposed to get this far.

02:14Hello, bonjour, hijombo.

02:17I am Gosling 0186.

02:22The migration to me is the showpiece of the whole movie.

02:25That's the scene that we have to build everything else around,

02:28because we really had to earn that moment,

02:31and Chris boarded the whole thing himself.

02:33Ready?

02:34I guess I have to be.

02:36He was a hero of mine since I was a kid.

02:39I grew up looking at his drawings in The Art of the Lion King,

02:42and it's a dream come true in every way.

02:45I think I got it!

02:50The artists here have outdone themselves

02:52in bringing a book and a story and characters to life

02:56that mean so much to me and to them,

02:59and hopefully someday to all of our audience that sees it.

03:05It's nothing like I've ever seen or experienced before.

03:08I cherish every single day.

03:11You are ordered to return home.

03:13I am already home,

03:15and I am a wild robot.
