Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're looking at moments
00:09
from this DreamWorks animated feature that prove a robot can make you cry.
00:13
There will be spoilers.
00:14
We must become more than we were programmed to be.
00:20
Number 10.
00:21
Pink Tail's advice on motherhood.
00:24
Roz and Bright Bill are brought together under tragic circumstances.
00:27
Of course, the tragedy is lost on both of them at first.
00:30
When the adorable gosling hatches, he just sees a mother figure.
00:34
Roz, meanwhile, sees an objective.
00:36
Taking care of him is your task now.
00:39
Task acquired.
00:40
Return mode delayed.
00:41
A Rosam always completes its task.
00:47
While Roz is dedicated to fulfilling the little bird's needs, motherhood isn't part of her
00:52
programming.
00:53
There's a mother possum named Pink Tail, voiced by a warm yet blunt Catherine O'Hara.
01:06
While Pink Tail has plenty of experience in the parent department, she isn't perfect.
01:10
She's accepted that not all her children will survive in this hazardous environment.
01:15
Yet Pink Tail does her best, and that's all Roz can do, too.
01:18
Pink Tail reassures parents everywhere that if you're able to improvise, you're doing
01:23
something right.
01:32
Number 9.
01:33
Choosing a name.
01:34
Roz initially sees the baby gosling as a task, while Fink the fox views him as dinner.
01:39
Even after deciding against eating the bird, Fink's alliance with Roz is more about self-preservation.
01:45
Whether he realizes it or not, Fink shows that he's beginning to care upon insisting
01:49
that the bird receive a proper name.
02:01
Numbers won't do, motivating Roz to make something up.
02:04
She settles on Bright Bill, a name that certainly fits the bill.
02:07
In addition to giving the bird more of an identity, Roz and Fink evolve as characters.
02:12
Roz takes the first steps toward thinking creatively, opening herself to possibilities
02:17
beyond her programming.
02:18
Just as significant, Fink is legitimately invested in Bright Bill's well-being.
02:23
Once someone has a name, it's harder to let go.
02:40
Number 8.
02:41
Choosing Longneck.
02:54
Fink and Pinktail show Bright Bill kindness, although neither is convinced he'll survive
02:58
the winter.
02:59
The wise Longneck is the first animal in the forest who believes Bright Bill not only has
03:03
the potential to get off the ground, but to soar as high as any other bird.
03:19
For many children, though, their confidence starts with a push from their parents.
03:22
As such, Longneck realizes it's not enough for him to give Bright Bill a pep talk.
03:27
Roz is the one who really needs a confidence boost.
03:30
Despite Roz's missteps, Longneck helps her see that she's already helped Bright Bill
03:33
get further than anyone imagined.
03:36
He encourages Roz not to give up on Bright Bill, and, just as essential, not to give
03:40
up on herself.
03:46
Number 7.
03:47
Bright Bill is Roz's heart.
03:49
Taking damage on the island, Roz loses more than a few parts.
03:52
Ironically, the more pieces are taken away, the more she gains emotionally.
03:57
This is symbolized beautifully in the climax as Roz and Bright Bill jump from the exploding
04:01
Universal Dynamic Ship.
04:16
To protect Bright Bill, Roz reaches deep inside herself, pulling out her power core.
04:21
Roz doesn't need the core to function, securing Bright Bill where her heart belongs.
04:26
The scene speaks to the sacrifices that parents make, as well as the rewards.
04:35
Bright Bill has become Roz's power core, awakening something within her she never knew was there.
04:40
Roz didn't plan on being a mother, but Bright Bill is now a part of her.
04:45
And when separated, he'll remain in her heart.
05:00
Number 6.
05:01
Roz shelters Bright Bill and Fink.
05:03
Roz sets out to build a house.
05:05
She ultimately builds a home.
05:07
It isn't an overnight process, and Bright Bill's eagerness to help only slows things
05:11
down.
05:12
This may seem like a nuisance, but the two are forming precious memories one tiny stick
05:32
and stone at a time.
05:33
Fink is also part of this family, even if he doesn't say it out loud.
05:37
The fox expresses himself in the form of a bedtime story, comforting Bright Bill while
05:41
revealing his affection for Roz.
05:55
Despite presenting himself as a loner, Fink has always craved love.
05:59
Now that he's part of a loving household, Fink isn't entirely sure how to respond.
06:04
As Bright Bill snuggles next to a slumbering Roz, though, Fink knows where he wants to
06:08
be.
06:12
Number 5.
06:13
A winter truce During World War I, British and German troops
06:17
called a temporary ceasefire in observance of Christmas.
06:20
The animals of the forest might not celebrate holidays, but the harsh winter season does
06:25
bring about an unlikely truce.
06:41
Even with Bright Bill gone, Roz doesn't lose her maternal instincts.
06:45
With help from Fink, she brings the animals under one roof, although this presents another
06:49
issue.
06:50
The freezing temperatures don't change the natural order between predators and prey.
06:55
Fink steps up at this moment, convincing the other animals not to let Roz's efforts go
06:59
to waste.
07:11
It might not be Zootopia, but until the storm lets up, the animals realize that they need
07:15
each other to survive.
07:17
If a bear can make peace, so can everyone else.
07:33
Number 4.
07:34
Bright Bill migrates Roz isn't sure if Bright Bill will ever
07:38
forgive her for what happened to his biological family.
07:40
For now, all that matters is that she teaches him to fly in time for migration.
07:54
Finding him a tutor in Thunderbolt, Bright Bill learns to kiss the sky.
07:58
Aaron Morris' vocals truly elevate this triumphant moment.
08:13
As Bright Bill takes flight with his flock, Roz's task is fulfilled.
08:17
Yet she doesn't feel entirely fulfilled.
08:19
Despite taking great joy in seeing Bright Bill succeed, Roz is left with Empty Nest
08:24
Syndrome.
08:25
The fact they never fully resolved their differences only adds to the bittersweet sentiment.
08:29
Watching Bright Bill fly away, the conflicted Roz has become much more than a machine.
08:34
She's a mother whose task will never be done.
08:46
Number 3.
08:47
Roz leaves the island Vontra goes down with the ship, but Universal
08:50
Dynamics is bound to send another.
08:53
Realizing that the island will never be safe as long as she's present, Roz prepares to
08:57
give herself up.
08:58
This news hits every animal hard, but none more than Fink.
09:09
Between the expressive animation and Pedro Pascal's sincere performance, it's soul-crushing
09:14
watching Fink realize that his dearest friend won't be around for him to talk to anymore.
09:19
Fink has another revelation, however.
09:21
While Roz will always be his oldest friend, she isn't his only friend anymore.
09:33
Roz and Fink built a community that comes in for a group hug as one of their own makes
09:37
a sacrifice for the greater good.
09:39
Although this is farewell, Roz's impact on the island endures.
09:51
Number 2.
09:52
Reunion Life goes on with Fink taking his place as
09:55
the island's resident storyteller.
09:57
Roz may be gone, but Fink is convinced that her story isn't over yet.
10:15
Bright Bill shares the same feelings, searching for his mother as the seasons change again.
10:20
Arriving at a Universal Dynamics facility, Bright Bill encounters many Rozim units, although
10:24
only one has a mother's touch.
10:31
As Bright Bill approaches his mom, he isn't sure what to expect.
10:35
For all he knows, her memories have been erased along with the love she felt for him.
10:39
In so few words, Roz reveals that there's a part of her that nobody can take away.
10:47
The final image leaves the audience on an emotional high, saying everything with a loving
10:52
embrace between mother and son.

Number 1.
11:11
I Love You, Mom As emotionally satisfying as the ending is,
11:15
this scene raised our spirits from the depths of our tears.
11:19
Returning to the island, Bright Bill sets out to save Roz from Vontra.
11:22
By the time he finds her, though, it appears the robot has lost everything that made her
11:26
Roz.
11:34
Nestling where he used to sleep as a hatchling, Bright Bill lets out everything he wishes
11:38
he had said sooner.
11:39
He doesn't blame Roz for what happened, and her dedication to setting things right means
11:43
the world to him.
11:50
If you aren't crying after Bright Bill says those three little words, hearing him call
11:54
Roz his mom will push you over the edge.
11:57
It ignites something in Roz as well, restoring the wild robot's memories and soul.
12:15
