Get ready for an adventure of survival, friendship, and self-discovery as DreamWorks Animation brings Peter Brown’s beloved children’s book, The Wild Robot, to the big screen! Releasing on September 27, 2024, this animated feature follows Roz, a robot who finds herself stranded on a remote island and must adapt to survive in the wild. With its star-studded cast and heartwarming story, The Wild Robot will be a cinematic delight for audiences of all ages.
Lupita Nyong’o Leads as Roz the Robot
At the heart of The Wild Robot is Lupita Nyong’o, lending her voice to Roz, the robot who learns to navigate the unpredictable wilderness. Known for films like 12 Years a Slave and Black Panther, Nyong’o brings depth and emotion to this unique role. We think she’s perfect for showing Roz’s journey from a machine to a caring guardian for an orphaned gosling.
A Star-Studded Cast Joins the Adventure
Joining Nyong’o is a remarkable ensemble cast that adds even more excitement to the film. Pedro Pascal (The Mandalorian, Game of Thrones) voices Fink, a crafty fox who challenges Roz’s wits. Kit Connor from Heartstopper plays Brightbill, the innocent gosling Roz adopts. Comedy legend Catherine O’Hara brings humor to the role of Pinktail, an opossum. Finally, Star Wars icon Mark Hamill lends his voice to the mysterious Thorn. Bill Nighy and Matt Berry round out the cast with their distinct vocal talents, making this adventure even better.
Why The Wild Robot Is a Must-Watch
Directed by Chris Sanders (How to Train Your Dragon), The Wild Robot explores themes of adaptation, connection, and what it truly means to be alive. As Roz interacts with the creatures around her, the story dives into questions of identity and belonging, while showcasing stunning visuals and a Kris Bowers score. The emotional storytelling, creative animation, and fantastic voice cast make The Wild Robot an animated treat for all.
Mark Your Calendar!
The Wild Robot‘s heartfelt story, unique characters, and all-star cast make it one of 2024’s most exciting animated releases. Catch it in theaters this fall for an emotional, fun-filled journey with Roz and her wild companions!
