The Sound of The Wild Robot, with Writer/Director Chris Sanders |

Legendary filmmaker, animator, writer, and voice actor Chris Sanders (you may know him as “Stitch”) joins his sound team - including our first-ever guest on this podcast, Randy Thom - to talk about their stunning work on the latest animated adventure/tearjerker from DreamWorks Animation, “The Wild Robot.” A truly visual spectacle, the film has an appropriately spectacular soundtrack, which Chris and the team relished in crafting its richness and complexity for over two years.
“We didn't have any score at all for a while. So one of the really neat things about the opening [reel] is that it's all sound design. It's all sound effects, which is really, really cool. I was impressed with how much detail - and it was necessary to have that kind of detail - and because we had the opportunity of getting as deep into this as we wanted to. So it's an especially good reason to go see this movie on a big screen as the sound of this whole film is really is so spectacular.” -Chris Sanders, Writer and Director, “The Wild Robot”

I absolutely adore this movie, and this was a fascinating insight into an aspect that I struggle to fully absorb. Definitely a few things to keep my ear out for on my next viewing.
