Lupita Nyong’o had years to perfect her voice as Roz in “The Wild Robot” and she used every bit of it.
The animated film, which hit the Toronto International Film Festival this past weekend, is an adaptation of the Peter Brown book and tells the story of a shipwrecked robot on an uninhabited island who bonds with the animals and begins caring for an orphaned baby goose.
Sitting down at TheWrap’s 2024 TIFF Studio sponsored by Moët & Chandon and Boss Design, Nyong’o explained how she worked with director Chris Sanders on the process of voicing Roz.
“I came in with some ideas and I shared them with him … the good thing about working on an animation is that it takes years, so you have a lot of time to try things out and then throw out what doesn’t work and try something else,” she said.
