Universal Pictures has unveiled the first trailer and poster for their upcoming animated feature THE WILD ROBOT, which will launch in US theaters on September 20th, 2024.

The Wild Robot is based on the book series of the same name by Peter Brown, produced by DreamWorks Animation and distributed by Universal Pictures. The film was written and directed by Chris Sanders, who also produced the film with Jeff Hermann, while Sanders longtime collaborative partner Dean DeBlois serves as executive producer.

The Wild Robot follows Rozzum 7134 ("Roz" for short), a futuristic robot that washes ashore on a deserted island. From there, according to the official synopsis, "a tale of survival and discovery begins when she becomes the unexpected protector to an orphaned gosling, which she names Brightbill. Together they struggle to survive the harsh environment, but only succeed with the help of a close-knit group of misfit animals, who become first friends, then family. Ultimately Roz and company save the island from a robotic invasion by Roz's manufacturer, looking to bring her back to civilization by any means necessary.”
