"The Wild Robot," DreamWorks Animation's latest offering and reportedly one of their final fully in-house animated films, is now available for viewing. Directed by Chris Sanders (known for "Lilo & Stitch" and "How to Train Your Dragon"), this film explores the intersection of technology and nature, boasting a star-studded voice cast including Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, and Mark Hamill. IGN's review hailed it as a "tear-jerking and unpredictable animated adventure."
The film has garnered significant awards recognition, receiving four Golden Globe nominations, ten Annie Award nominations (the most of any film this year), and an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature. A sequel is already in the works, with Sanders returning to direct.
