““We all screamed when we heard that score was nominated, and so deservedly. The lack of dialogue meant that one of the biggest voices in this film is the music and that was going to be handled by Kris Bowers."

While most people woke up very early for the Oscar nomination announcements this morning, Chris Sanders watched the feed from Tokyo, Japan. As the last stop on his tour of premiering The Wild Robot, being nominated for Best Animated Feature was a perfect bookend to the trip.
“[On Monday] we were screening the film and introducing it to the very first audience here, and now to get this nomination has been amazing,” says Sanders. “Three nominations, it’s incredible.”
In addition to Best Animated Feature, The Wild Robot is also nominated for both score and sound. “We all screamed when we heard that score was nominated, and so deservedly. The lack of dialogue meant that one of the biggest voices in this film is the music and that was going to be handled by Kris Bowers. He had a massive job, just the scale of it, but the nuance, the beauty, the sensitivity and the strength of what he did is nothing I’ve ever heard before.”
