By DreamWorks Animation has premiered a final trailer for its upcoming adaptation of Peter Brown’s beloved and award-winning best seller “The Wild Robot” opening September 27th.
The new trailer comes in the wake of the film’s festival premiere where it has scored overwhelmingly positive reviews, but isn’t quite the “Iron Giant” successor that some had hoped.
The epic adventure 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 film’s voice cast incluces Oscar winner Lupita Nyong’o (“Us,” “Black Panther”) as the robot Roz, Emmy nominee Pedro Pascal (“The Last of Us”) as fox Fink, Emmy winner Catherine O’Hara (“Schitt’s Creek”) as opossum Pinktail, Oscar nominee Bill Nighy (“Living”) as goose Longneck.
There’s also Kit Connor (“Heartstopper”) as gosling Brightbill, Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu (“Everything Everywhere All at Once”) as another robot named Vontra, along with roles for Mark Hamill, Matt Berry and Ving Rhames.
“The Wild Robot” is written and directed by three-time Oscar nominee Chris Sanders (“How to Train Your Dragon”).
The post Final Trailer: “The Wild Robot” appeared first on Dark Horizons.
