The various animal characters in the trailer are more uniquely designed, but this initial teaser downplays them and doesn’t even reveal that they talk - a little odd, since many of them are voiced by very familiar actors, from Mark Hamill to Pedro Pascal to Matt Berry. There’s scarcely an animated or CG movie robot from the past 25 years that doesn’t get a cheery little nod somewhere in Roz’s design or behavior. The trailer’s only spoken words - a voiceover proclaiming, “Sometimes, to survive, you must become more than you were programmed to be” - evoke the central message of The Iron Giant as well. It has big, goggly, sad eyes that evoke Wall-E from WALL-E a mostly featureless yet evocative face reminiscent of Baymax from Disney’s Big Hero 6, and color-shifting eyes and soulful behavior reminiscent of the title character in The Iron Giant.
