As time went on, his skills at designing robots improved, and while his first model, affectionately dubbed Wu No. 1 could barely shuffle along with small steps, Wu No. 25 is actually capable of pulling Wu around in a rickshaw for up to 6 hours on a single charge.

In fact Nail asked Selick if he would like to adapt and direct the story before it was even released as a book.
