Pedro Pascal is preparing for his Wild-est stream…
After earning nearly $270 million at the worldwide box office in September, The Wild Robot, starring the 49-year-old Chilean actor, will finally be available to stream from home.
The animated film will arrive on Peacock on January 24, and is also currently available to rent/purchase on Prime Video, Apple TV and other video-on-demand platforms.
Directed by Chris Sanders, “The Wild Robot” follows ROZZUM Unit 7134 A.K.A. Roz (voiced by Lupita Nyong’o), an intelligent robot that gets shipwrecked on an uninhabited island. To survive, the robot bonds with the island’s creatures.
The animated film has a voice cast also featuring Pascal, Kit Connor, Bill Nighy, Stephanie Hsu, Mark Hamill, Catherine O’Hara, Matt Berry, Ving Rhames and others.
The Wild Robot is based on the very popular science fiction book series from writer and illustrator Peter Brown. The first book was released in 2016, while its follow ups The Wild Robot Escapes and The Wild Robot Protects were released in 2018 and 2023, respectively.
The Wild Robot was also released on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K Ultra HD earlier this month, with prices starting at $19.95 on Amazon.
Variety’s chief film critic Peter Debruge has called The Wild Robot a “keeper” in his review, writing that the film’s “expressionistic environments can take one’s breath away. Sunsets, sea views and changing seasons suggest scenic calendar art come to life.”
