However, among all the praise for its narrative and visuals, a peculiar observation has surfaced that the movie’s Roz’s Life theme song bears a similar resemblance to a well-known game, Assassin’s Creed 2‘s theme song Ezio’s Family. This revelation has ignited discussions, prompting fans to question whether this resemblance is merely a coincidence or not.

Music plays a very crucial role in storytelling, whether in games or films. A powerful score can enhance any scene’s emotional depth, drive the narrative forward effortlessly, and even evoke nostalgia. For many viewers and players, these auditory experiences are connected with their memories of the respective media.

Therefore, when melodies overlap occasionally, fans usually catch the familiarity very quickly. It seems that one such overlap has happened with The Wild Robot‘s Roz’s Life theme and Assassin’s Creed 2‘s Ezio’s Family theme. At normal speed, both the themes have enough differences that the similarities are not immediately noticeable.

However, the issue arises when Ezio’s Family theme is sped up, the differences slowly fade away and both of the themes sound quite familiar. The Assassin’s Creed franchise has long been celebrated for its richly composed soundtracks. With AC 2 released in 2010, there is no way it took inspiration or copied the melody.

AC2‘s Ezio’s Family is one of the memorable themes in the franchise and even carries an emotional weight that has resonated with players for over a decade. So, was it The Wild Robot‘s Kris Bowers who took ‘inspiration’? To clarify, this may be a huge coincidence, and in no way is FandomWire implying that Kris Bowers is responsible. But this familiarity has certainly sparked curiosity and speculation.

Reflecting on Creativity and Inspiration

While the similarities between Roz’s Life theme and Ezio’s Family may appear suspicious to some, it’s essential to approach the topic with an open mind. After all, music is an ever-evolving art form, and overlaps in style or melody can occur as artists draw inspiration from one another.

Coincidences in music do happen, and the world of art often involves the exploration of similar ideas in different ways. Until there’s concrete evidence of intentional borrowing, it’s best to appreciate both The Wild Robot and Assassin’s Creed 2 for their unique contributions to storytelling through music.

As both movie fans and gamers continue to explore and debate these intriguing parallels between the two themes, one thing remains certain: music will always be a powerful catalyst that connects various forms of media together, sometimes resonating with audiences in unexpected ways.

In the end, whether or not Kris Bowers was inspired by Ezio’s family remains uncertain. Nonetheless, the movie is a gem to watch, as viewers see the complex journey of Roz filled with the struggle against nature and the quest to find her own identity.
