We’re off to a pretty good start on the 2024 movie schedule, especially in the realm of animation. As Kung Fu Panda 4 is preparing to give us all sorts of emotional dumplings mixed in with its action thrills, DreamWorks Animation especially seems prepared for the year ahead. And now with its first trailer for The Wild Robot, I find myself tearing up over a little gosling, and I’m totally ok with that.
It’s also fitting that this new DreamWorks production is written and directed by Chris Sanders. Being part of the creative teams behind the adaptation of How to Train Your Dragon, as well as the creation of Lilo and Stitch, I should have known these feelings were coming. Much like the existence of this star studded beauty, led by Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o, as Roz the robot, I should have known this was going to happen a lot sooner.
However this is a pleasant surprise, to say the least.
The Wild Robot will start roaming about in nature, starting September 20th, only in theaters.
More to come…
