The Wild Robot
《荒野机器人》
In a world where robots are common, a robot named ROZZUM unit 7134, or Roz for short, has an accident and ends up on an island full of wild animals. The makers built Roz to help people, so she's not sure how to help the animals. But she has decided to learn about them and find ways to help.
At first, the animals see her as a monster(怪物). Since no one needs her help, she tries to call her makers. One day, Roz finds a goose egg and she has decided to protect it. The egg hatches(孵化), and a baby goose comes out. Roz names it Brightbill.
Roz has never looked after a bird before. An experienced bird tells her that she needs to feed him, teach him to swim, and make sure he can fly before the winter migration(迁徙). With the help of a red fox named Fink, Roz works hard to take care of Brightbill and show him love.
Roz also cares for other animals on the island, saving them and keeping them warm in her place during the cold winter. They also team up to fight against the hunters and to save the island from a forest fire.
The Wild Robot comes from a children's book by Peter Brown. It's a film about robots and animals, and it's also about the love between parents and children. Although she is a robot, Roz learns how difficult and happy being a mother can be through her experiences.
