Directed by Chris Sanders, The Wild Robot stars Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o as Roz, a robot that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must adapt to the harsh surroundings. Gradually Roz starts building relationships with the animals on the island, including a clever fox voiced by Pedro Pascal, and becomes the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling named Brightbill voiced by Kit Connor.

Voice cast also includes Bill Nighy, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, Catherine O’Hara, Matt Berry, Ving Rhames, among others.

Sanders confirmed at Deadline’s Contenders earlier this year that a sequel to the pic is on the way and currently in development at DreamWorks Animation.

The Wild Robot is the first in the trilogy of books written by Brown. The Wild Robot Escapes is the second book in the franchise.

Pic is written and directed by 3x Oscar nominee Sanders—the writer-director of DreamWorks Animation’s How to Train Your Dragon, The Croods, and Disney’s Lilo & Stitch—and is produced by Jeff Hermann (DreamWorks Animation’s The Boss Baby 2: Family Business; co-producer, Kung Fu Panda franchise).

Dean DeBlois executive produces and Heather Lanza serves as co-producer.
