The VOD release date for The Wild Robot has been revealed. The film will be available to buy or rent on digital platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, iTunes, Vudu, and Google Play Movies & TV on October 15, 2024.
From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of 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—who is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh environment. Gradually, Roz builds relationships with the island’s animals and becomes the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.
The Wild Robot stars Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o (Us, The Black Panther franchise) as the robot Roz; Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) as the fox Fink; Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek, Best in Show) as the opossum Pinktail; Oscar® nominee Bill Nighy (Living, Love Actually) as the goose Longneck; Kit Connor (Heartstopper, Rocketman) as the gosling Brightbill; and Oscar® nominee Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once, this summer’s The Fall Guy) as Vontra, a robot who intersects 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 self-discovery, The Wild Robot is 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 includes The Wild Robot Escapes and The Wild Robot Protects. Brown’s work on the Wild Robot series and his other bestselling books has 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.
The Wild Robot was released in the United States on September 27 and has grossed $107.6 million worldwide against a production budget of $78 million.
