About The Wild Robot Movie:

The Wild Robot is an American animated science-fiction adventure comedy film written and directed by Chris Sanders and produced by Jeff Hermann.

The film is based on the book series of the same name by Peter Brown. On September 28, 2023, DreamWorks Animation announced an animated film adaptation of the book series The Wild Robot by Peter Brown.

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.

The Wild Robot premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2024, and theatrical release in the United States on September 27, 2024. The film was previously scheduled for a week earlier but was pushed back to avoid competition with Paramount Animation’s Transformers One.

As part of Universal’s deal with Netflix, the film will stream on Peacock for the first four months of the pay-TV window, then will move to Netflix for the next ten, and then will return to Peacock for the remaining four.
