The Wild Robot, a fresh release from DreamWorks Animation, marks one of the studio's last fully in-house animated films. Directed by Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon), it weaves a tale of technology meeting nature, backed by a stellar voice cast including Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, and Mark Hamill. IGN's review of The Wild Robot praised it as "a heartwarming and surprising animated journey."
The movie is generating significant awards buzz, earning four Golden Globe nominations, a leading 10 Annie Award nominations this year, and an Oscar nod for Best Animated Feature. A sequel is already in the works, with Sanders set to direct again.
