The Wild Robot is a 2024 American animated science fiction survival film produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures. Based on the 2016 novel of the same name by Peter Brown, it was written for the screen and directed by Chris Sanders and features the voices of Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor, Bill Nighy, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, Catherine O'Hara, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames. The film follows Roz (Nyong'o), a service robot shipwrecked on an uninhabited island who must adapt to her surroundings, build relationships with the local wildlife, and become the adoptive mother of an orphaned goose, Brightbill (Connor).

Sanders first encountered the original book through his daughter and years later was offered an opportunity to direct a film adaptation at DreamWorks. The film uses a hand-painted aesthetic, inspired by classic Disney animated films and the works of Hayao Miyazaki. It was the final film to be animated entirely in-house at DreamWorks, as the studio will begin relying heavily on outside vendors for future films. Kris Bowers composed the score, marking his first score for an animated film.

The Wild Robot premiered at the 49th Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2024, and was released in the United States on September 27. The film received acclaim and has grossed $155.4 million worldwide against a production budget of $78 million. A sequel is in development.

Plot

[edit]

A Universal Dynamics cargo ship loses six all-purpose ROZZUM robots during a storm. The robots wash up on an island uninhabited by humans; only one survives the crash and is accidentally activated by the local wildlife. ROZZUM Unit 7134, nicknamed "Roz", attempts to advertise her services to the animals but only succeeds in terrifying them and injuring herself. Even after spending several days translating the animals' language, she still cannot find anyone who requires her help. She decides to signal her manufacturers to retrieve her, but gets chased by Thorn, a grizzly bear; while fleeing, she accidentally crushes a goose nest, killing the mother and leaving only a single egg.

After Roz defends the egg from Fink, a hungry fox, it hatches, and the gosling imprints itself onto her and breaks her long-range transponder. Pinktail, a mother opossum, instructs Roz to feed the gosling, teach it to swim and ensure it can fly before the winter migration. Fink realizes he can benefit from Roz and helps her construct a shelter; as the three begin cohabiting, Roz names the gosling Brightbill.

Once Brightbill grows, Roz and Fink start teaching him to swim, and he meets the island's other geese, who mock him for his size and his relationship with the "monster" that killed his family. Angry at having the truth kept from him, Brightbill scorns Roz and leaves. Roz returns to the crash site to learn more about her purpose and replaces her transponder with one from another ROZZUM unit. She decides not to give up on Brightbill and recruits Thunderbolt, a falcon, to teach Brightbill to fly. Roz also receives advice from Longneck, an elderly leader of the goose flock. Brightbill masters flying just as the geese leave for the migration, and he departs with them.

Distraught at Brightbill's absence and unsure of her purpose, Roz reactivates her transponder but shuts it off right after the signal reaches Universal Dynamics headquarters. A thunderstorm forces the geese to shelter inside a Universal Dynamics greenhouse, where hostile RECO robots attack them. Longneck orders Brightbill, the only goose not scared of the robots, to lead the flock to safety. Sacrificing himself, Longneck is shot by the laser of a robot but saves Brightbill.

Roz is jolted out of shutdown to find Fink hiding in their shelter from a severe snowstorm. She rescues and brings as many animals as possible to the shelter, depleting her batteries. Before Roz powers down, she and Fink urge the squabbling prey and predators to stop fighting until spring; once Thorn agrees to the truce, the others comply.

Roz reawakens months later to find the animals still following the peace and the geese returning, who hail Brightbill as a hero. A Universal Dynamics dropship crewed by Vontra, a retrieval robot, arrives to recover Roz, who at first complies, but upon hearing from Fink that Brightbill is looking for her she gets off. Vontra sends an army of RECOs after Roz, but she and the animals band together to fend them off until Vontra detonates the destroyed RECOs, allowing her to capture Roz while also causing a forest fire. Brightbill leads the island's geese in an attack on the dropship as the other animals extinguish the fire, but he finds that Vontra has already cut Roz's power and wiped her memories. However, Roz's systems are reactivated and restored by her love for Brightbill, and the two destroy Vontra and escape the dropship before it explodes.

Although victorious, Roz chooses to leave anyway in order to protect the island from future attacks; she promises the animals that her manufacturers cannot take away her sentience and that she will find a way to return. Months later, Roz is working in a greenhouse at Universal Dynamics headquarters and appears to have been reset to factory settings. Brightbill sneaks in and approaches Roz, who reveals she still has her memories, and the two embrace.

Voice cast

  • Pedro Pascal as Fink, a mischievous red fox who is the first animal that Roz helps and befriends.[5]
  • Kit Connor as Brightbill, an orphaned runt Canada goose who is raised by Roz as her own son after losing his biological family.[5]
    • Boone Storme as Baby Brightbill.[7]
  • Catherine O'Hara as Pinktail, a maternal Virginia opossum who gives Roz some advice on raising Brightbill.[5]
  • Bill Nighy as Longneck, an elderly Canada goose who helps Roz understand teaching Brightbill how to fly.[5]

  • Mark Hamill as Thorn, a grizzly bear.
  • Matt Berry as Paddler, a beaver who spends his days trying to gnaw down a giant tree.
  • Ving Rhames as Thunderbolt, a peregrine falcon who helps Brightbill learn to fly.[5][8]

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]
Peter Brown, creator of The Wild Robot book series, pictured in 2014.

On September 28, 2023, DreamWorks Animation announced an animated film adaptation of the book series The Wild Robot by Peter Brown, with Chris Sanders set to write and direct, Jeff Hermann set to produce, and Sanders' longtime creative collaborator Dean DeBlois set to serve as executive producer. Other crew members were announced, including production designer Raymond Zibach, editor Mary Blee, and head of story Heidi Jo Gilbert.[9]

Sanders first encountered Brown's book through his daughter, though he never read it himself. Years later, while looking for his next project at DreamWorks, Sanders was offered an opportunity to direct an adaptation of the book for the studio.[10] Upon reading it, Sanders immediately fell in love with the story and felt he was the right person to adapt it to film. He described the book as "deceptively simple" and "emotionally complex".[11] Sanders had previously considered the idea of a creature bonding with animals in a forest for his directorial debut Lilo & Stitch (2002).[12] Sanders contacted Brown and would later describe the phone call as critical to the film's development. Brown told the production team that his intended theme for the book was that kindness could be a survival skill. Sanders sought to weave that theme through the film and felt he achieved that goal.[13] Another theme in the story that Sanders was drawn to was that of motherhood. He felt he had never done a story of this nature before.[13]

Changes were made to the book's story for the film. In the book, Roz is in constant search of a task but also in the wrong place and with no one to give her tasks.[13] Sanders felt that she risked becoming monotonous at points in the story, so he strived to make Roz constantly interesting and compelling throughout.[13] Some character roles from the book were reduced in order to give others more substantial screen time and impact. The changes to the characters and their roles were also made to prevent the film from becoming too crowded.[13]

Casting

[edit]

Cast members Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, Catherine O'Hara, Bill Nighy, Kit Connor, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames were revealed on March 5, 2024, with the release of the film's first trailer.[5][14]

Sanders wanted Roz to be a compelling character and felt an extraordinary voice performance was necessary to achieve this. He wanted to avoid a two-dimensional fictional take on a robot, where they go straight from being emotionless to emotional.[13] Nyong'o was tasked with finding a voice for the character and evolving it as the story progressed. The actress's role was particularly important as Roz did not possess facial articulation. This meant Nyong'o's voice was the main way of signifying Roz's emotions.[13]

According to Hamill, who voiced Thorn, he learned about the film after reading the book The Wild Robot. Hamill says that The Wild Robot reminded him of his first feelings about Star Wars (1977), in which he originated the role of Luke Skywalker.[15]

Animation and design

[edit]

The Wild Robot would be the final film to be animated entirely in-house at DreamWorks, as Cartoon Brew reported on October 6, 2023, that the studio would be shifting away from producing films in-house in their Glendale campus to relying more heavily on outside studios after 2024.[16]

After reading the book, Sanders felt the story's innocent tone and nature setting required a look that strayed away from the standard CGI photorealism in many modern animated films.[11] He and production designer Raymond Zibach wanted the film in its finished state to still resemble the concept paintings.[11] To achieve this, the production team built upon the technologies used in two of DreamWorks' earlier films, Puss in Boots: The Last Wish and The Bad Guys (both 2022).[11] While the characters were made up of CGI geometrical shapes, their surfaces possess a hand-painted look. This painterly style philosophy was carried onto every visual element in the film, including the sky and environments.[13]

Sanders took inspiration from Disney classic animated movies and the works of Hayao Miyazaki, resulting in a stylized CG visual style that he described as "a Monet painting in a Miyazaki forest".[17][18] He considered Bambi (1942) and My Neighbour Totoro (1988) as the biggest influences on the visuals.[13] The works of Syd Mead served as inspiration for the futuristic parts of the film.[13]

Sanders wanted Roz's design to be iconic and memorable and one that would take its place among fiction's most famous robots. Taking inspiration from C-3PO and R2-D2 from Star Wars and Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet (1965), he wanted Roz to have little facial articulation.[13] Sanders and the rest of the design team made several prototype designs during production. One of the designers, Hyun Huh presented his Roz design to the crew, which became the basis for the one seen in the film. The crew immediately fell in love with Huh's design, with Sanders describing it as simple and appealing.[13] Brown's original book described Roz with great detail, so Sanders and the team knew they had to leave some design elements out. However, on behalf of Brown's description of what a ROZZUM unit's purpose was to humans, they aimed for Roz's design to be humanoid.[13]

Music

[edit]
Main article: The Wild Robot (soundtrack)

In March 2024, Kris Bowers was revealed to be composing the score, his first score for an animated film.[19] Additionally, two original songs were announced to be made for the film, performed by Maren Morris and written by Morris, Ali Tamposi, Michael Pollack, Delacey, Jordan Johnson and Stefan Johnson. The first, "Kiss the Sky", was released on August 28; the second, "Even When I'm Not", along with the full soundtrack album, was released on September 27.[20] Morris and her team of co-writers were inspired to write a second song for the film, "Even When I'm Not", which is featured in the film's end credits, when they screened the finished film.[20]

Release

[edit]

The Wild Robot had its world premiere as the opening front runner of the Toronto International Film Festival Grand Opening celebration on September 8, 2024.[21][22] It was released in theaters in the United States on September 27, 2024,[23] and in the United Kingdom on October 18.[24] The film was originally scheduled for September 20, 2024,[25] but was pushed back a week to avoid competition with Transformers One.[23]

Marketing

[edit]

The first trailer for the film, featuring a rendition of Louis Armstrong's cover of "What a Wonderful World", plus a poster, were released on March 5, 2024.[26] The trailer debuted in theaters three days later in front of screenings of DreamWorks' other new film Kung Fu Panda 4.[27] Writing for Polygon, Tasha Robinson compared the design of Roz to familiar film robots such as BB-8 (the Star Wars sequel trilogy), WALL•E (in his titular film), Baymax (from Big Hero 6), and The Iron Giant (in his titular film), and noted that the only words spoken in the trailer - "Sometimes, to survive, we must become more than we were programmed to be" - evoked the message of The Iron Giant (1999).[28]

Home media

[edit]

The Wild Robot was released on Digital HD on October 15, 2024,[29][30] and will be released on Blu-ray, DVD, and 4K Ultra HD on December 3.[31]

As part of Universal's long-term deal with Netflix, the film will stream on Peacock for the first four months of the pay-TV window, before moving to Netflix for the next ten, and returning to Peacock for the remaining four.[32][33]

Reception

[edit]

Box office

[edit]

As of October 16, 2024, The Wild Robot has grossed $90.5 million in the United States and Canada, and $65 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $155.4 million.[3][4]

In the United States and Canada, The Wild Robot was released alongside Megalopolis, and was projected to gross $24–30 million from 3,962 theaters in its opening weekend.[2][34] The film made $11.2 million on its first day,[35] including an estimated $1.9 million from Thursday previews.[36] The film went on to debut to $35.8 million,[37] slightly above predictions and topping the box office.[38] In its second weekend, the film made $18.9 million (a drop of 47% from its first weekend), finishing in second behind newcomer Joker: Folie à Deux.[39][40] In its third weekend the film made $14 million (dropping just 25.9%), finishing in second behind newcomer Terrifier 3. According to The Hollywood Reporter, theater chains treated the unrated Terrifier 3 as an R-rated film, turning down attendees 17 or younger if unaccompanied by a parent or guardian. Distribution sources speculated that more people saw the film than reported, theorizing that a "noticeable bump" in the earnings for The Wild Robot's third weekend was the result of teenagers buying tickets to the film and then sneaking into screenings of Terrifier 3.[41][42]

Critical response

[edit]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 98% of 187 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 8.5/10. The website's consensus reads: "A simple tale told with great sophistication, The Wild Robot is wondrous entertainment that dazzles the eye while filling your heart to the brim."[43] Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, assigned the film a score of 85 out of 100, based on 38 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[44] Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film an average grade of "A" on an A+ to F scale, while those surveyed by PostTrak gave it a 96% overall positive score, with 62% saying they would definitely recommend it.[38]

Natalia Winkelman of The New York Times called the film "a dazzling triumph of animation" and wrote "this is a work that cares most about two things: big feelings and great beauty."[45] Adrian Horton, writing for The Guardian said: "Clever, heartfelt and frequently stunning, The Wild Robot offers the type of all-ages-welcome animated entertainment that will delight kids and leave a lump in one's throat."[46] Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph gave the film a five out of five scoring, saying "DreamWorks was founded 30 years ago this month, and this well-timed anniversary release is their richest, most moving film since 1998's reputation-making The Prince of Egypt."[47] In his review for Vulture, Bilge Ebiri praised Nyong'o's performance and found that it "turn[ed] this heartwarming family film into an unforgettable one."[48]
