Okay, "The Wild Robot" and the Question of Intentionality

So, I just saw a preview for "The Wild Robot" and the visuals are STUNNING, right? Like, absolutely breathtaking. But something kept nagging at me as I watched the trailer, and it's this: how much of Roz's 'mothering' behavior is truly intentional? We see her protecting the gosling, teaching it to fly, being all fiercely protective... but she's a robot. A wild robot, sure, but still a machine. I'm getting major philosophical vibes here, folks. Are we meant to ponder the nature of artificial intelligence and its capacity for genuine empathy, or is it all just advanced programming mimicking 'nurturing' behavior? The cinematography, judging from the trailer, seems to play with this ambiguity. There are shots where Roz's face is almost completely in shadow, emphasizing her metallic nature. Then there are other shots, softer lighting, where the focus is on her interactions with the goose, making her appear almost…tender. I think the director – whoever it might be – is deliberately leaving it up to the audience to decide. My bet is that the film is going to lean heavily into the 'nature vs. nurture' debate, but with a robotic twist. Instead of a human raised by wolves, it's a robot becoming 'mother' to a goose. I'm hoping it avoids becoming overly sentimental, but honestly, the premise alone has me intrigued. Could be really thought-provoking, or it could be a visually stunning but ultimately shallow story. We'll see. Definetly on my watchlist though. Anyone else have thoughts on this? Am I totally off base? One thing I’m really curious about is how the design of Roz facilitates this reading. Is the design itself contributing to the idea of intentionality, even if it’s technically absent? Or is the animation/cinematography simply manipulating our perception? So many questions!
