The Wild Robot

One of the most buzzed-about animated movies of 2024 is now on Peacock. From Chris Sanders, the co-writer/co-director of Lilo & Stitch and the voice of Stitch, delivers a heartfelt adaptation of Peter Brown's novel, named for the curious android at its center.

Lupita Nyong'o lends her voice to Roz, a helper droid intended for domesticity but stranded on an island populated only by wild animals, like a cunning fox (The Last of Us's Pedro Pascal), a sassy opossum (Beetlejuice Beetlejuice's Catherine O'Hara), and an orphaned gosling (Heartstopper's Kit Connor).

In her review out of the film's Fantastic Fest premiere, Belen Edwards praised the fish-out-of-water story and the visual splendor Sanders paints. She writes, "Pristine forests and tidal pools bloom to life on screen, their blue and green hues a sharp contrast to Roz's metal-gray plating and blinking lights. Flocks of geese take flight in a dazzling airborne montage. Roz's bright lights slash through a driving snowstorm. Each image is a marvelous snapshot on its own. But together, they create something wholly incredible, making The Wild Robot an unforgettable viewing experience and a perfect capstone to celebrate DreamWorks' 30th anniversary."

Starring: Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor, Bill Nighy, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, Catherine O'Hara, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames
