A Wild Robot, Raccoons, and Maren Morris’s Melody
Universal Pictures just dropped a fresh teaser from The Wild Robot, featuring the plucky protagonist ROZ, and a pair of mischievous raccoons. And guess what? The clip also introduces a new song from Grammy-winning artist Maren Morris.
Bask in the Wild Drama
DreamWorks is betting big on animation this September, with Transformers One and The Wild Robot leading the charge. In the new teaser, we see Roz, our endearing metal hero, struggling to wrangle some unruly raccoons. The chaos is as entertaining as you’d expect, but the real surprise? Maren Morris’s latest track, “Kiss the Sky,” which adds a whole new layer of emotion.
Triple-Grammy Winner Leaves Her Mark
Maren Morris is leaving her musical fingerprint on this animated gem. “Kiss the Sky,” her new original song, made its debut with the clip, setting the tone for Roz’s journey. This isn’t just any song—it’s part of a soundtrack crafted to elevate the film’s emotional depth, composed by Oscar-winning Kris Bowers.
The song accompanies a key moment in the film, where Roz watches a breathtaking geese migration, a scene that’s sure to tug at the heartstrings. Maren Morris also contributes another original song to the soundtrack, titled “Even When I’m Not.” Both songs, co-written by industry heavyweights like Ali Tamposi and Michael Pollack, promise to be highlights of the movie.
Meet the Wild Robot: Cast, Production, and Release
DreamWorks Animation is bringing Peter Brown’s beloved novel The Wild Robot to life. The film follows Roz, a shipwrecked robot, voiced by Academy Award winner Lupita Nyong’o, as she navigates life on a deserted island. Her journey of survival turns into a heartwarming tale of connection as she becomes the unlikely mother of an orphaned gosling.
The cast is stacked with talent. Catherine O’Hara voices the sly Pinktail, Bill Nighy plays the wise goose Longneck, and Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames round out the ensemble. Directed by the three-time Oscar nominee Chris Sanders, the film promises to explore the delicate balance between technology and nature.
Release Date
Mark your calendars for September 27th. The Wild Robot will be hitting theaters with a story that’s as heartwarming as it is thought-provoking.
