"It's a Completion of That Storyline": 'The Wild Robot' Director and Producer Give an Update on Where the Sequel Is Heading

DreamWorks is riding high into 2025 after the global success of its latest animated film, The Wild Robot. The story of the nature-loving Roz, voiced by Lupita Nyong'o, resonated with audiences of all ages when it hit theaters last year, scoring an unexpected $325 million haul at the box office and becoming one of the animation studio's highest-rated films to date. It's also up for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards. After such an accomplishment, it took almost no time for a sequel to get the green light to explore where the titular robot goes next. Fortunately for writer-director Chris Sanders and producer Jeff Hermann, there's a lot of material to work with. The film adapts Peter Brown's 2016 novel of the same name and, according to the team, the author's sequels will help inform what happens on-screen.
