Dreamworks Animation is pulling no punches with the trailer for The Wild Robot. Here’s the trailer for the incoming movie.
The Wild Robot is set to be the last feature to be fully animated in-house over at DreamWorks Animation. Once the film has released, the studio behind Shrek and How To Train Your Dragon will instead be outsourcing good chunks of its work..
Dreamworks Animation has produced some of the most beloved aniated films of the last few decades and they’ve also been on a really good run of late. Last year’s Puss In Boots: The Last Wish was a raging success whilst Kung Fu Panda 4 performed really well commercially. The new trailer leans into the studio’s past successes and we’re hoping that The Wild Robot serves as a fitting swansong to Dreamworks Animation’s entirely in-house line of successful and beloved works.
Dreamworks seems to have put all of its craft and experience into this final original film. It looks absolutely beautiful and the story looks incredibly promising too. The story ‘follows the journey of a robot – ROZZUM unit 7134 or ‘Roz’ for short – that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island. They must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.’
The cast includes Lupita Nyong’o, Bill Nighy, Stephanie Hsu and Mark Hamill andThe Wild Robot arrives in UK cinemas on the 18th October. Early reviews are very strong (we liked it, but weren’t quite as sold though). Catch the trailer below.
