These exclusive extras are available when you purchase from major digital retailers like Sky Store, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV.

Based on Peter Brown’s award-winning #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot follows the story of Roz, a robot who washes ashore on a wild, uninhabited island.

As she learns to navigate her harsh new environment, Roz, voiced by Academy Award® winner Lupita Nyong’o (Us, Black Panther), begins to forge bonds with the island’s animal inhabitants. The story takes a heartwarming turn as she becomes the adoptive parent to Brightbill, an orphaned gosling, voiced by Heartstopper’s Kit Connor. Adding to the adventure, Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) lends his voice to a cunning fox, deepening the emotional and thrilling dimensions of Roz’s journey.

Directed by three-time Academy Award® nominee Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, The Croods), the film explores themes of technology’s relationship with nature, self-discovery, and what it truly means to connect with the world around us. The all-star voice cast also includes Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek), Bill Nighy (Love Actually), Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All At Once), and Mark Hamill (Star Wars), Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows).
