“The Wild Robot” had its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it received enthusiastic reviews, with many claiming it was not only the best-animated film of the year but that it was one of the best-animated films ever made by Dreamworks Animation. Director/Writer Chris Sanders and Academy Award-winning star Lupita Nyong’o were both kind enough to spend a few moments speaking with us about their work on the film, which you can listen to or watch below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in theaters from Universal Pictures and is up for your consideration in all eligible categories at this year’s Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Animated Feature Film, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song (“Kiss The Sky”). Thank you, and enjoy!
