A lost robot bonds with forest creators and becomes a protective mother to an orphaned duckling in DreamWorks Animation’s second The Wild Robot trailer. Based on Peter Brown’s New York Times bestseller, the animated action-adventure opens in theaters on September 27, 2024.
Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o voices the robot who becomes one with nature. Pedro Pascal voices the fox Fink; Catherine O’Hara voices opossum Pinktail; Bill Nighy as goose Longneck; Kit Connor voices gosling Brightbill; and Stephanie Hsu voices Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island. Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames also lend their voices to animated characters.
“The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, ‘Roz’ for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling,” reads DreamWorks Animation.
Three-time Oscar nominee Chris Sanders adapted Brown’s award-winning book and directs. Jeff Hermann serves as a producer.
