The Wild Robot Combines 6 Favorite Animated Movie Robots Into One

Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for The Wild Robot.The wild robot Roz (Lupita Nyong’o) is animation’s next big robot to debut on the big screen. Already incredibly popular and beloved by audiences, Roz joins the ranks of many other iconic animation robots. While there are certainly ways in which Roz is unique and distinct, it can also be argued that she serves as a dynamic hybrid of many different animated robots that have been seen in previous animated films.

In The wild robotRozzum Unit 7134 finds itself on a remote island after a storm causes it to crash while en route to the humans to whom it was to be delivered. In the absence of humans, Roz eventually learns how to communicate with the island’s diverse wildlife, while also trying to find tasks to accomplish in accordance with her primary programming. To that end, Roz begins to grow and adapt, becoming both a mother and protector with thoughts and feelings of her own, despite her robotic existence. To that end, here are six favorite animated robots who Roz is most like in The wild robot.

6 Omnidroid from The Incredibles

Adaptive learning and similar skills

Near

At Disney and Pixar The IncrediblesThe villain Syndrome creates the Omnidroid, a large superhero-killing robot that is capable of adaptive learning. A large sphere and optical apparatus on top with four large legs, the head and legs can retract into its body, allowing the Omnidroid to adopt a ball shape for faster mobility and unique tactical advantages. Eventually, he also becomes smart enough to override his commands, causing the Omnidroid to turn on Syndrome at the end of the film.

Likewise, Roz also has adaptive learning thanks to its Alpha-One Thirteen processors. In addition, The wild robot The ending sees her able to take the shape of a ball by retracting her head and limbs to protect her adopted son Bright Bill (Kit Connor). Roz also overrides her original programming as the film progresses, allowing her to develop feelings and emotions while also being a better mother. However, Roz obviously has none of the sinister programming that the Omnidroid possesses, and is much more dynamic and sophisticated with a real personality.

A113 is a classic Hollywood Easter egg used by California Institute of the Arts students and those studying character animation.

5 Eve of e-wall

Visual design and the ability to love

Roz also looks like Pixar’s Eve. e-wall. An all-white robot with glowing blue eyes tasked with exploring Earth, the discovery of a plant in Wall-E’s possession motivates the robot to deliver evidence of new life to humans as they travel the stars waiting for their world to come to one. day be cleaned and restored after centuries of contamination. However, Eve ends up developing a relationship and feelings for Wall-E throughout the animated film.

The Wild Robot presents a look at Earth’s future that highlights advances in technology but the repercussions of major ecological changes.

While I may not be able to float like Eve, The wild robot Roz shares some visual similarities with Wall-E Eve. Likewise, it also develops the capacity to care and love beyond the limits of its original programming. Roz also manages to maintain her emotional self and memories despite living with humans again, not unlike how Eve’s love and spark/kiss helped Wall-E maintain his emotional self and memories even after he It was nearly destroyed at the end of the 2008 Pixar film.

4 The Iron Giant

Protector and autonomous components

Near

Roz has a lot in common with the beloved Iron Giant. Long considered one of the best animated films of all time, 1999s. The iron giant is a story about a boy (named Hogarth) who teaches a gigantic robot from another world how to be human. Likewise, the same boy’s love for the Iron Giant helps the robot override his more destructive programming in favor of protecting the boy, and he ultimately sacrifices himself to save Hogarth’s life (although the film’s ending teases his survival). of the Iron Giant).

To that end, Roz and the Iron Giant have autonomous parts of their bodies that can move independently and come back together to reassemble themselves. In addition, The iron giant The opening scene shows a sailor in a storm mistaking the Iron Gant for a lighthouse. Similarly, Roz acts as a lighthouse during a storm for a family of otters trapped in the ocean. As such, it feels like a very clear homage, with both of their eyes serving as very strong rays of light.

Roz looks longingly into the distance at The Wild Robot. He's edited with Inside Out 2's Joy and Anger, the former of whom seems concerned. Related Yes, The Wild Robot Really Is the Best Animated Movie of 2024

There have been many amazing animated films that have been released so far in 2024, but The Wild Robot is undoubtedly the best of them all.

Additionally, Roz also evolves into a protector as powerful as the Iron Giant. She defends the island’s various animal creatures from the other Rozzum robots sent to retrieve it and bring it back to the humans for further study. Furthermore, Roz also sacrifices herself to save Bright Bill just as the Iron Giant sacrificed himself to save Hogarth. However, Roz also ends up surviving at the end of The wild robot also.

3Baymax From big hero 6

Both programmed to complete tasks and help others

Near

In big hero 6 and its spin-off series, Scott Adsit voices the incredible helper robot known as Baymax. Created by Tadashi Hamada, whose brother Hiro continued working on the robot after Tadashi’s death, Baymax is designed to help others. While his primary function was originally just medical care, Baymax is able to grow beyond this primary function in several ways, helping people overcome their various fears and insecurities while also becoming a superhero with Hiro and his friends.

It’s not difficult to see the similarities between Roz and Baymax, particularly in their visual design with predominantly white colors and round heads. Although Roz is not as soft as Baymax with her harder metal exterior, she is still just as huggable and capable of showing affection in The wild robot. Likewise, Roz was also created to help complete various tasks and also wants to receive satisfaction ratings for her service, just like Baymax after he manages care. Additionally, they also learn how to develop beyond their core programming.

2 Rodney Copperbottom Robots

See a need, meet a need

Near

Coming from a world entirely populated by free-thinking and sentient robots, 2005 Robots from Blue Sky and 20th Century Fox stars Rodney Copperbottom (Ewan McGregor) as the main protagonist, a young robot who seeks to live by the motto of his mentor known as Bigweld: “See a need, meet a need”. To that end, Rodney set out to help and repair other robots as best he could, looking for any and all ways to fix and improve the world around him.

While some robots that appear in movies have evil tendencies, there are many beloved robots that bond with humans and end up becoming heroes.

In that sense, this is very similar to what is seen with Roz in The wild robot. Roz initially struggles to find her purpose despite her desire to complete and help with tasks on the island she finds herself on. This is very similar to Rodney, who also struggled before he could find his ultimate purpose and a way to fulfill his needs.

Roz finally finds her purpose in The wild robot by becoming a mother to the young gosling Bright Bill, feeding and caring for him while also helping him learn to swim and fly before winter so he can successfully migrate south with the other geese on the island. Over time, Roz is able to protect and care for more of the island’s animals, meeting and fulfilling their needs just as Rodney does at the end of Robots.

1 charles de Meet the Robinsons

By extending her limbs, Roz develops similar anxieties

Near

Roz also shares some similarities with Carl from 2007. Meet the Robinsons. Voiced by Harland Williams, Carl appears to be as free-thinking and sensitive as any of the other human characters in the film. Built by an adult Lewis/Cornelius Robinson in the future to help the Robinson family, Carl also has more specific instructions to keep an eye on Cornelius’s son, Wilbur.

Having a golden body, Carl also has limbs that can stretch incredibly long distances. Likewise, Roz shows the same ability in The wild robot on several occasions. However, the true similarity between Carl and Roz is their shared anxiety over their desire to care for and protect their respective charges.

Carl is quite nervous in Meet the Robinsonsespecially after Wilbur’s actions in the past bring a younger Lewis into the future, an action that could have resulted in Wilbur erasing his own existence from the timeline if things went wrong. Similarly, Roz shares similar struggles and anxieties as she tries to be a mother and care for Bright Bill. At one point, she even expresses an exasperated and very motherly confession that she doesn’t know what she’s doing while worried about Bright Bill’s safety and general well-being. As such, it’s a very poignant comparison, which is also quite comical.
