“The film is an epic adventure following Roz, a robot that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must adapt to the harsh surroundings,” reads the synopsis. “Gradually Roz starts building relationships with the animals on the island, including a clever fox, and becomes the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling named Brightbill. THE WILD ROBOT is a powerful story about self-discovery, 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 was written and directed by acclaimed animated filmmaker Chris Sanders, best known for his work on iconic movies such as The Croods, How to Train Your Dragon, and Lilo & Stitch. It was based on Peter Brown’s 2016 novel. During its theatrical run, it grossed over $320 million at the global box office. Because of this, DreamWorks Animation is now developing its sequel, titled The Wild Robot Escapes.
