Explore the creation process in the recently unveiled featurette “A Wild Vision,” offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the dedication and artistry behind this project. Helmed by Chris Sanders, a three-time Oscar nominee renowned for his work on How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods, and Lilo & Stitch, this film is poised to become a timeless classic.
The Wild Robot narrates the tale of Roz, a smart robot stranded on a deserted island following a shipwreck. Voiced by the talented Lupita Nyong’o, Roz learns to navigate her new surroundings, forming bonds with the island’s fauna and caring for a motherless gosling.

The featurette showcases the film’s distinct visual style, a gentle painted aesthetic reminiscent of DWA’s Puss in Boots: The Last Wish. This artistic choice perfectly complements the natural backdrop of the tale, immersing viewers in a visually rich experience. Sanders aimed to create a world that is visually captivating and emotionally engaging, staying true to Peter Brown’s original vision.
The star-studded cast features Pedro Pascal as the sly fox Fink, Catherine O’Hara as the clever opossum Pinktail, Bill Nighy as the wise goose Longneck, and Kit Connor as the endearing gosling Brightbill. With additional voices from Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames, each contributing their unique talents to this heartwarming narrative.
Produced by Jeff Hermann and executive produced by Dean DeBlois, The Wild Robot is scheduled for release on September 27, 2024. Promising a blend of visual splendor and heartfelt storytelling, this film is poised to captivate audiences of all ages.
