After taking in nearly $270 million at the worldwide box office in September, “The Wild Robot” will finally be available to stream from home. The animated film will arrive on Peacock on Jan. 24, and is also currently available to rent/purchase on Prime Video, Apple TV and other video-on-demand platforms.
“The Wild Robot” also released on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD earlier this moth, with prices starting at $19.95 on Amazon.
As for the film itself, Variety’s chief film critic Peter Debruge called “The Wild Robot,” a “keeper” in his review, writing that the film’s “expressionistic environments can take one’s breath away. Sunsets, sea views and changing seasons suggest scenic calendar art come to life.”
Directed by Chris Sanders, “The Wild Robot” follows ROZZUM Unit 7134 A.K.A. Roz (voiced by Lupita Nyong’o), an intelligent robot that gets shipwrecked on an uninhabited island. To survive, the robot bonds with the island’s creatures.
The animated film has a voice cast also featuring Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor, Bill Nighy, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, Catherine O’Hara, Matt Berry, Ving Rhames and others.
“The Wild Robot” is based on the very popular science fiction book series from writer and illustrator Peter Brown. The first book was released in 2016, while its follow ups “The Wild Robot Escapes” and “The Wild Robot Protects” were released in 2018 and 2023, respectively.
Right now, you can get all three books in a hardcover boxed set for $37.80 (reg. $54) on Amazon. And if you really liked the artwork from the film, there’s the “The Art of DreamWorks: The Wild Robot” book, which is on sale for $45 (reg. $50) from the retail giant too.
Stream “The Wild Robot” on Peacock starting Jan. 24, or purchase the film on Prime Video and Apple TV.
