From DreamWorks Animation comes a new original adaptation of a literary sensation, Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot. The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, ‘Roz’ for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling. A powerful story about the discovery of self, a thrilling examination of the connection between technology and nature and a moving exploration of what it means to be alive and connected to all living things, Peter Brown’s The Wild Robot, an illustrated middle-grade novel first published in 2016, became a phenomenon, earning a Caldecott Honor and rocketing to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list. The book has since inspired a trilogy that now includes The Wild Robot Escapes and The Wild Robot Protects.
