DreamWorks Animation's latest offering, The Wild Robot, is a visually stunning animated film—and reportedly one of the last fully in-house productions from the studio. Directed by Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon), this film masterfully blends technology and nature, featuring a star-studded voice cast including Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, and Mark Hamill. IGN's review hailed it as "a tear-jerking and unpredictable animated adventure," and the film has already garnered significant awards season attention, receiving four Golden Globe nominations, ten Annie Award nominations (more than any other 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.
