“The Wild Robot” had its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received enthusiastic reviews for its animation, story, heart, and music. An adaptation of Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, No. 1 New York Times bestseller, the Dreamworks Animation film has gone on to gross over $300 million worldwide, won more Best Animated Feature prizes than any other film in 2024, including the Critics Choice Award, Annie Award, and Producers Guild Of America Award. And now, it’s been nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Animated Feature, Best Original Score, and Best Sound. Composer Kris Bowers, supervising sound designer Randy Thom, supervising sound editor Brian Chumney, re-recording mixer Gary A. Rizzo, and supervising sound editor Leff Lefferts were all kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work on the film’s soundscape, which you can listen to or watch below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream on Peacock from Universal Pictures and is up for your consideration for this year’s Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature, Best Original Score, and Best Sound. Thank you, and enjoy!
