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, the 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!
00:48Ah!
00:51Roz is an unrelentingly kind character.
00:55In this wild place that she was never designed to be, she 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, and they're all doing their best work.
01:11This magical combination of scope and heart.
01:14It was based on the look of the book, and with the subject matter that we were working with,
01:17DreamWorks is the perfect studio, because 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 merge together into solid areas of color.
01:46That really convinced us that it could work.
01:49The vision of the art department, combined with the comfort of the artist with the technology,
01:53all those things have built up.
01:55We wanted all those painterly touches, but we still wanted to be able to follow our characters through 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.
02:09Bright Bill was never supposed to get this far.
02:15Hello, bonjour, hijombo. I 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, and Chris boarded the whole thing himself.
02:33Ready?
02:34I guess I have to be.
02:37He 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, and it's a dream come true in every way.
02:45I think I got it!
02:50The artists here have outdone themselves in bringing a book and a story and characters to life
02:56that mean so much to me and to them, and hopefully someday to all of our audience that sees it.
03:04Hello!
03:05It's nothing like I've ever seen or experienced before. I cherish every single day.
03:10You are ordered to return home.
03:13I am already home, and I am a wild robot.
03:33I am a wild robot.
