Universal Pictures (distributed by Warner Bros. Discovery) will be releasing its upcoming film, The Wild Robot next month in India. Directed by Chris Sanders, a three-time Academy Award nominee and the creative force behind How to Train Your Dragon and Lilo & Stitch, this highly anticipated animated adventure is voiced by a stellar cast. These include Lupita Nyong’o, Pedro Pascal, Catherine O’Hara, Bill Nighy, Kit Connor, and Stephanie Hsu bring this enchanting film to life, promising audiences an unforgettable theatrical experience.
The Wild Robot follows Roz, short for ROZZUM unit 7134, a shipwrecked robot voiced by Lupita Nyong’o, as she navigates the challenges of surviving on an uninhabited island. As Roz adapts to her new surroundings, she forges unexpected bonds with the island’s wildlife, including a cunning fox, a clever possum, a wise goose, and a charming gosling, along the way. With a powerful score by Academy Award winner Kris Bowers, The Wild Robot offers a breathtaking exploration of the intersection between technology and nature, bringing Peter Brown’s cult classic to the silver screen.
Pedro Pascal, who lends his voice to the character of Fink in The Wild Robot, shared his delight about working with director Chris Sanders. “I’ve seen a lot of Chris’ movies, and I’ll embarrassingly admit that, as a grown adult, I once wished for my birthday to see How to Train Your Dragon on IMAX,” Pascal shared.
“Birthdays aren’t my thing, but that was my excuse to indulge. I know how essential Chris is in creating entire worlds and infusing performances with color. He was an incredible guide, sometimes even running through scenes to help me find my way. He’s not just thinking about the character’s roots but also about bringing them to life authentically,” he added.
This collaboration marks a significant moment for Pascal, as he joins a star-studded cast to bring Peter Brown’s beloved story to life under the visionary direction of a filmmaker he has long respected. The Wild Robot is set to release in English in Hindi, in 3D and IMAX in theatres across India on October 18th.
