  • Summary

  • When the filmmaker and animator Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon) decided to adapt Peter Brown’s kids’ book “The Wild Robot” for the screen, he threw a lot of modern animation conventions out the window. Chris decided to use hand-painted images instead of CGI and he centred the story on motherhood when mothers are mostly absent in kids’ movies. Now, “The Wild Robot” is nominated for an Oscar. Chris joins guest host Gill Deacon to tell us more about the film and how he made it.
