The Wild Robot is the latest release from DreamWorks Animation and allegedly one of the final movies animated fully in-house at the company. The movie, directed by Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon), explores the connection between technology and nature with the help of a superstar voice cast featuring Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, and Mark Hamill. IGN's The Wild Robot review called it "a tear-jerking and unpredictable animated adventure."
The film is getting a bunch of awards season buzz – including four Golden Globe nominations, another 10 Annie Award nominations, the most of any film this year, and an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature. A sequel has already been announced with Sanders returning to direct.
