## *The Wild Robot* Lands on Peacock January 24, 2025
DreamWorks Animation’s acclaimed animated adventure, *The Wild Robot*, is set to stream on Peacock starting Friday, January 24, 2025. Following its successful debut at the Toronto International Film Festival and a remarkable global box office gross of over $324 million, this adaptation of Peter Brown’s bestselling novel series offers audiences another way to experience the epic story. For those without a Peacock subscription, the film will also be available for rent or purchase on platforms such as Prime Video and Apple TV+.
Directed by three-time Academy Award nominee Chris Sanders, *The Wild Robot* tells the captivating story of Roz (voiced by Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o), a robot shipwrecked on a deserted island. Forced to adapt to a harsh and unfamiliar environment, Roz unexpectedly forges bonds with the island’s animal inhabitants, including a clever fox voiced by Pedro Pascal and an orphaned gosling named Brightbill, voiced by Kit Connor. The film explores themes of self-discovery, the intersection of technology and nature, and the profound meaning of connection and life itself.
The film boasts a stellar voice cast, including Catherine O’Hara, Bill Nighy, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames, alongside Nyong’o and Pascal. The score, composed by Emmy and Grammy-nominated, Oscar-winning Kris Bowers, features two original songs by Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Maren Morris.
Considered by some to be DreamWorks Animation’s most mature and compelling work to date, *The Wild Robot* transcends typical animated fare. Beyond its humor and thrilling moments, the film offers a poignant exploration of overcoming isolation, finding acceptance, and forging one’s own path. Roz’s journey of winning over the island through selfless acts promises to generate significant conversation during awards season, with a potential nomination for Best Animated Feature at the 97th Academy Awards a strong possibility. Its chances of winning will depend, however, on competition from films like *Inside Out 2*, *Flow*, and *Memoir of a Snail*.
