While it’s still in theaters, as tends to happen with most releases these days, The Wild Robot has also now made it to home streaming for either purchase or rental. Albeit either option is pretty expensive.

Family audiences rejoice! It's time to party with "The Wild Robot," now in theaters nationwide and aglow with that special magic that only comes for a new animated classic that is spectacular in every sense of the word. You'll be hooked from first scene to last.

Based on its namesake novel by Peter Brown, The Wild Robot is akin to breathing in the pure, unadulterated air of the wild. While not everyone might appreciate the wilderness and all that comes with it, just the ability to connect on a deeper level and enjoy the simpler things of life can leave a huge impact on us.

So far, The Wild Robot has enjoyed positive reviews from critics, as well as a decent run at the box office, earning over $149.3 million globally so far. But nearly every 2024 Universal titles has been pushed to “premium” video-on-demand after just over two weeks in theaters, and The Wild Robot is no exception.

Set in 1957, “The Iron Giant” is an anti-war parable that’s also a beautiful story about two outcasts becoming friends. Made with a mix of traditional and computer animation, it has a timeless look that fits with its retro story, and Bird demonstrates some of the boundless imagination he’d later bring to the “Incredibles” movies.

Dear friends and readers, let it never be said that counterprogramming doesn’t work at the box office. You can thank the recent wave of 2024 movies for proving that point, as two unlikely bedfellows may may now be linked from a business standpoint.

The Wild Robot is a warm-hearted adaptation of Peter Brown’s much-beloved book of the same name. It's a tale about parenthood, kindness and compassion.
