"The Wild Robot," DreamWorks Animation's latest offering and reportedly one of their last fully in-house animated films, is a captivating blend of technology and nature. Directed by Chris Sanders (renowned for "Lilo & Stitch" and "How to Train Your Dragon"), the movie boasts a stellar voice cast including Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, and Mark Hamill. IGN's review hailed it as "a tear-jerking and unpredictable animated adventure."
The film has garnered significant awards attention, receiving four Golden Globe nominations, ten Annie Award nominations (the most for any film this year), and an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature. A sequel is already in the works with Sanders returning to the director's chair.
