Hey, it's Hannah again.
So, last year, we did an episode with the sound designer behind the Zone of Interest,
which ended up winning the Oscar for best sound.
We thought we'd do a similar episode with one of this year's nominated films,
which is the bonus episode you're about to hear.
Enjoy.
Hello.
Bonjour.
Guten tas o jambo.
Hola.
Congratulations on your purchase of a Universal Dynamics robot.
That is the voice of Raz from the animated film the Wild Robot,
up for three Oscars this weekend, including for best Sound.
Ra's, who's voiced by Lupita Nwongo, is a helper robot, a kind of turbocharged Siri,
who gets stranded on a deserted island and learns to communicate with the animals that live there.
