From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation, Peter Brown‘s beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, “The Wild Robot.” 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. Acclaimed filmmaker Chris Sanders (THE LION KING, MULAN, HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON), has crafted another gem that is currently nominated for a Best Animated Film at this year’s Golden Globe Awards.

“Family audiences rejoice! The Oscar for Best Animated Film belongs right here in this enchanting tale of a robot, voiced by the amazing Lupita Nyong’o, who finds herself playing mother to a baby goose. The result is spectacular in every sense of the word.” (ABC News)

“Lupita Nyong’o is doing fantastic voice work here. The whole cast is great” (Filmweek NPR)
