Universal Pictures has released the second trailer for their upcoming animated feature, The Wild Robot. Adapted from Peter Brown’s illustrated book and directed by Chris Sanders (“How to Train Your Dragon,” “Lilo & Stitch”), the sci-fi adventure concerns a robot called Roz (Lupita Nyong’o), washed ashore on an uninhabited island who must adapt and live among the animals, after adopting an orphaned gosling bird.
The film has a stacked voice cast, including Pedro Pascal, Catherine O’Hara, Bill Nighy, Kit Connor, Stephanie Hsu, Matt Berry, Ving Rhames and Mark Hamill.
Animated by the talented team at Dreamworks, it features a blend of 3D and 2D animation with some incredible shading work that was established in The Bad Guys and Puss in Boots : The Last Wish. Applying this to a forest and animals seems to have paid off with striking visuals, creating a unique visual style.
Watch the trailer below and catch The Wild Robot only in cinemas September.
