DreamWorks schedules ‘The Wild Robot’ for release in September 2024

DreamWorks Animation, led by the acclaimed three-time Oscar nominee Chris Sanders, has marked September 20, 2024, on the release calendar for its highly anticipated adaptation, “The Wild Robot.” Based on Peter Brown’s 2016 illustrated middle-grade novel, which secured a Caldecott Honor and claimed the No. 1 spot on the New York Times bestseller list, the film promises to captivate audiences with its unique narrative and captivating visuals.

The storyline of “The Wild Robot” introduces us to Rozzum 7134, affectionately known as “Roz,” a robot designed for a futuristic urban environment. However, the unexpected transpires when Roz finds herself washed ashore on a deserted island. This marks the commencement of a riveting tale of survival and discovery as she becomes an unlikely protector to an orphaned gosling named Brightbill. Together, Roz and Brightbill navigate the challenges of the harsh environment, forming an unbreakable bond that transcends the boundaries of their mechanical and avian origins.

The narrative takes an intriguing turn as Roz and Brightbill find themselves in the company of a close-knit group of misfit animals. What begins as an alliance for survival transforms into a genuine family, highlighting the film’s thematic emphasis on the power of unity and cooperation. This newfound family faces a formidable challenge when the island is threatened by a robotic invasion orchestrated by Roz’s manufacturer, who is determined to bring her back to civilization by any means necessary.

“The Wild Robot” delves into profound themes, including the defiance of pre-programmed destiny, the embrace of life and parenthood, and the pivotal role of cooperation in navigating a harsh and unpredictable world. The film, at its core, celebrates the essence of being wild and alive, portraying the transformative journey of Roz from a mere programmed entity to a dynamic force embodying the spirit of a ‘wild robot.’

Chris Sanders, known for his directorial prowess in acclaimed films like “How to Train Your Dragon,” “The Croods,” and “Lilo & Stitch,” takes the helm of the project. Sanders not only directs the film but also lends his creative touch to the screenplay, adapting it from Peter Brown’s beloved book. The reunion with Dean DeBlois, a collaborator from “How to Train Your Dragon” and “Lilo & Stitch,” and the collaboration with producer Jeff Hermann, known for his work on “The Boss Baby: Family Business” and “Kung Fu Panda 3,” adds a layer of experience and expertise to the film’s production.

The core creative team assembled for “The Wild Robot” includes production designer Raymond Zibach, renowned for his work on “Kung Fu Panda 1, 2, and 3.” Head of story Heidi Jo Gilbert, known for her contributions to “Puss in Boots: The Last Wish” and “The Croods: A New Age,” brings her storytelling expertise to the project. The editing is masterfully handled by Mary Blee, whose credits include “The Boss Baby: Family Business” and “How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World.”

As anticipation builds for the release of “The Wild Robot,” audiences can expect a visually stunning and emotionally resonant cinematic experience. The film’s exploration of humanity, resilience, and the bonds that transcend artificial and biological origins promises to leave a lasting impact on viewers of all ages. With a stellar cast of characters, an accomplished creative team, and a compelling narrative, “The Wild Robot” is poised to make a significant mark on the world of animated cinema.
