Chris Sanders is returning to DreamWorks to direct ‘The Wild Robot

Renowned director Chris Sanders, celebrated for his work on animated gems like Lilo & Stitch and How to Train Your Dragon, has made a triumphant return to DreamWorks. Sanders takes the directorial reins for the upcoming animated feature, The Wild Robot, an adaptation of Peter Brown’s immensely popular illustrated book bearing the same name.

The movie marks Sanders’ return to the DreamWorks fold after directing the live-action film The Call of the Wild in 2020, which featured the charismatic Harrison Ford alongside a captivating cast of CGI animals. Now, with The Wild Robot, Sanders steps back into the realm of animation, a field where he has left an indelible mark.

The Wild Robot, according to the publisher’s description of Peter Brown’s original book, is envisioned as a fusion of “Wall-E meets [Newbery Honor-winning novel] Hatchet.” Sanders not only helms the directorial duties but also takes on the responsibility of adapting the screenplay for the big screen. Jeff Hermann, known for his work on The Boss Baby: Family Business, assumes the role of producer, while Sanders’ frequent collaborator Dean DeBlois serves as the executive producer for the film.

The official synopsis offers a glimpse into the captivating narrative: Rozzum 7134, affectionately called “Roz,” a robot designed for a futuristic urban world, finds herself stranded on a deserted island. The tale unfolds as she becomes the unforeseen protector of an orphaned gosling, Brightbill. Together, they grapple with the challenges of survival, forming bonds with a close-knit group of unconventional animals who transform from allies to a makeshift family. The narrative takes an exciting turn as Roz and her newfound companions thwart a robotic invasion by her manufacturer, intent on bringing her back to civilization at any cost. In the process, Roz evolves into something more than her original programming intended, embodying the spirit of a wild robot.

DreamWorks emphasizes that The Wild Robot carries a profound message, urging audiences to reflect on their ability to transcend pre-set boundaries and programming. The film is touted as a celebration of the essence of being wild and alive, underscoring the pivotal role of cooperation in navigating the challenges of a harsh world.

Key members of the production team include Raymond Zibach, known for his work on the Kung Fu Panda franchise, handling production design, while Heidi Jo Gilbert, credited for Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, serves as the head of the story. Mary Blee, recognized for her contribution to The Boss Baby: Family Business, assumes the role of editor.

With a stellar creative team and a narrative poised to deliver a powerful message, The Wild Robot is set to captivate audiences with its tale of survival, friendship, and the indomitable spirit of overcoming one’s programming. Chris Sanders’ return to DreamWorks for this project only heightens the anticipation for an animated masterpiece that promises to resonate on both an emotional and intellectual level.
