Robot's Return: New Adventures Await in the Sequel
Deep down, did you find yourself captivated by the charm of The Wild Robot? You're in luck! Get ready to reunite with everyone's favorite robotic hero, as another installment of this heartwarming adventure is in the works.
Hot on the heels of its successful theatrical debut, Dreamworks Animation has announced plans for a sequel to its final in-house film—and the legendary director, Chris Sanders, will be back at the helm to steer us through the next excitement-filled journey.
The series is based on Peter Brown's 2016 award-winning children's book. In its tale, Roz (voiced by Lupita Nyong'o)—a helper robot— finds herself stranded on an isolated island and must adapt to her new environment. When an orphaned goose named Brightbill (Kit O'Connor) enters her life, and she befriends other island dwellers voiced by the likes of Catherine O'Hara and Pedro Pascal, she manages to form connections and, ultimately, blossom.
The original Wild Robot has earned accolades for its stunning animation and moving narrative, leaving audiences reaching for tissues (it's a real tear-jerker!). To date, it has grossed an impressive $107.6 million worldwide.
Given the success of the first film, it's no surprise that Dreamworks is interested in expanding this franchise, joining the ranks of other beloved series like Trolls, Kung Fu Panda, and more. With the studio's tendency to adapt films into television shows or holiday specials, there's a good chance we'll see a lot more of Roz and her friends—perhaps even surpassing what's to come in the currently untitled sequel.
While details about the release window are scarce, fans can catch up on the latest updates from the world of Marvel, Star Wars, Star Trek, the DC Universe, and all things Doctor Who to satiate their thirst for exciting new content in the meantime.
