Quotes And Leadership Lessons From The Wild Robot
A Reel Leadership Article
The Wild Robot is a fun, exciting, and interesting computer-animated film. Based on the book series of the same name, the film made me think of the lovely animated film The Iron Giant.
In The Wild Robot, an intelligent robot, Roz (Lupita Nyong’o), is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island. Roz was programmed to serve others and complete tasks. Upon completion of those tasks, she would return home.
Since the island was uninhabited, no one was there to give her tasks.
But something interesting happened…
She discovered the animals on the island needed her help. She could complete tasks to help them and then return home. Her main task became to help a young gosling, Brightbill (Kit Connor), learn how to eat, swim, and fly. Brightbill would need these skills to survive and migrate with the other geese.
