Three-time Oscar nominee and creator of Lilo & StitchChris Sanders hasn't directed since The Call of the Wild . Finally, the filmmaker found his next project in Universal Pictures and DreamWorks' The Wild Robot. This animated feat celebrated its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival and is currently sitting at a near-perfect 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.

SANDERS: The characters in the story that Peter put into his book. 100%. There were so many things about this that I thought were right for me as a filmmaker to work in.

One of the parts of the film that had the most iterations and was the last part of the film to go into production was the very beginning.
