Starring: Lupita Nyong’o, Pedro Pascal, Catherine O’Hara, Bill Nighy, Kit Connor and Stephanie Hsu, with Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames
Based on: The Wild Robot novel by Peter Brown
Written and directed by: Chris Sanders
Producer: Jeff Hermann

From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation, Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot. The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, “Roz” for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling. The Wild Robot stars Academy Award ® winner Lupita Nyong’o (Us, The Black Panther franchise) as robot Roz; Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) as fox Fink; Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek, Best in Show) as opossum Pinktail; Oscar ® nominee Bill Nighy (Living, Love Actually) as goose Longneck; Kit Connor (Heartstopper, Rocketman) as gosling Brightbill and Oscar ® nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once, this summer’s The Fall Guy) as Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island. The film also features the voice talents of Emmy winning pop-culture icon Mark Hamill (Star Wars franchise, The Boy and the Heron), Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows, The SpongeBob Movie franchise) and Golden Globe winner and Emmy nominee Ving Rhames (Mission: Impossible films, Pulp Fiction).

A powerful story about the discovery of self, a thrilling examination of the bridge between technology and nature and a moving exploration of what it means to be alive and connected to all living things, The Wild Robot is written and directed by three-time Oscar ® nominee Chris Sanders—the writer-director of DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods, and Disney’s Lilo & Stitch—and is produced by Jeff Hermann (DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby 2: Family Business; co-producer, Kung Fu Panda franchise). Peter Brown’s The Wild Robot, an illustrated middle-grade novel first published in 2016, became a phenomenon, rocketing to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. The book has since inspired a trilogy that now includes The Wild Robot Escapes and The Wild Robot Protects. Brown’s work on the Wild Robot series and his other bestselling books have earned him a Caldecott Honor, a Horn Book Award, two E.B. White Awards, two E.B. White Honors, a Children’s Choice Award for Illustrator of the Year, two Irma Black Honors, a Golden Kite Award and a New York Times Best Illustrated Book Award.

Back Lot Music will be releasing DreamWorks Animation's The Wild Robot Original Motion Picture Soundtrack on September 27th along with the film, with music by Emmy and Grammy nominated composer Kris Bowers. The soundtrack also features two original songs by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and music sensation Maren Morris: "Kiss the Sky" released today along with the music video and "Even When I'm Not" will be released along with the rest of the album. Both songs represent a collaborative effort, co-written by Morris along with Ali Tamposi, Michael Pollack, Delacey, Jordan Johnson and Stefan Johnson, with Isaiah Tejada contributing additional writing to “Even When I'm Not.” The production duo The Monsters & Strangerz (Jordan & Stefan Johnson) produced both tracks alongside Tejada.

I ugly cried through the entire movie from start to finish. It was the best animated movie I have seen.

[xavierallyciamingzeloi]

For people who haven’t saw the movie.. I very recommend to watch it it’s a

[raineob]

They weren’t lying when the review said it was possibly Dreamworks’ best film ever. It is THAT good.

[edwinbartolome]

For me, “The Wild Robot” has simply been the best family movie of 2024 so far. The migration scene perfectly captured the dual emotions of a parent somewhat reluctantly letting his child go off into the world but at the same time wishing for him to experience all the best that life has to offer.

GLAD TO KNOW THAT I WASNT THE ONLY ONE WHO CRIED WATCHING THIS MOVIE. IT WAS SO

[regem]

when Ross runs with her arms spread and shows Brightbill how to flight, , , , its sooo sentimental, ,,deep emotional

[vincentliang]

Not gonna lie, this do gave me some "How to Train Your Dragon" vibe...which brought tears to my eyes.

[andrewabraham]

This better get nominated for best original song at the Oscars; we already know the movie will get nominated for best animated feature, no questions asked

[Jason-..-]

Saw it twice, wow what a film. What an emotional rollercoaster...

[lapetitechouette]

Who says animation is just for kids? I'm 24 and I will always still watch cartoons and animations because it heals my inner child. I will definitely watch this agai.

[DVR]

Well done Maren. Your "Kiss The Sky" just gave me an idea: you could sing that song at the 97th Academy Awards.

[Chario_]

Had the stupidest smile on my face during the entire sequence where this song played. Such an amazing movie

[itchard]

“Fly like you, not like them” this message really is heart-warming

[JRA]

This movie broke my heart into a million pieces and then lovingly put it all back together again.

[gajahshinchan]

[cdohutia]

What an amazing movie...we need more of these..

[evanf]

I just saw this movie and I was overblown by it, I can understand the hype behind it. Dreamworks sure went hard on it, and there were a few points when watching the film I was shocked they made this. Well done Dreamworks, you guys did a marvelous job with this movie as well as Maren Morris with this song.

[Mr.Feather]

This film and this song better be nominated at the academy awards of next year!
