The Wild Robot (Featuring Toby Cochran)
On the 428th episode of Piecing It Together, Toby Cochran joins me to talk about The Wild Robot, which has just been re-released in theaters. This beautiful animated film is one of 2024's best. We also discuss my guest's animated film about a robot, LUKI & The Lights. Puzzle pieces include Isle of Dogs, Bambi, Life of Pi and The Iron Giant.
As always, SPOILER ALERT for The Wild Robot and the movies we discuss!
