Following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, "The Wild Robot" was released in theaters on Sept. 27. The animated film features a star-studded cast, from Kit Connor to Pedro Pascal.

‘The Wild Robot’ is a showcase of exemplary animation and complex characters

By Atticus Jackson, Contributing Writer October 3, 2024
“The Wild Robot”, released on Sept.  27, is a stunning and beautifully woven animated family film that spins a colorful web of plotlines and messages about the nature of life, love and family. Directed by Chris Sanders — the notable co-director of “Lilo & Stitch” and “How to Train Your Dragon” — the newest in Dreamworks’s film lineup, "The Wild Robot,” holds a special place among the top of both of these catalogs. It stars Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor and Mark Hamill, but each voice actor blends into their role perfectly and the film does not rely on its star-studded cast. “The Wild Robot” is a true classic of modern animation; a diamond in the rough of an intellectual-property-dominated industry. It is wonderful within the realm of character, plot and message, but shines exponentially brighter than most in terms of visuals.
