Chris Sanders, the long-time partner of How To Train Your Dragon‘s Dean DeBlois, has just premiered his solo DreamWorks movie, The Wild Robot, at Toronto International Film Festival. The new animated movie is an adaptation of Peter Brown’s #1 New York Times bestselling novel, following a robot named Roz who crash-lands on a remote island and befriends the local wildlife, including an orphaned gosling. Aside from his talent in both writing and directing, Sanders also boasts an all-star cast that includes Lupita Nyong’o (A Quiet Place: Day One), Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us), Kit Connor (Heartstopper), and Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at One).
