Production: The film adaptation of “The Wild Robot” was officially announced by DreamWorks Animation on September 28, 2023. Chris Sanders took inspiration from classic Disney animations and the works of Hayao Miyazaki, aiming for a visual style that he described as “a Monet painting in a Miyazaki forest.” This film marks a significant milestone for DreamWorks, as it will be the last movie entirely animated in-house before the studio shifts to relying more on external studios.
Music: The score for the film is composed by Kris Bowers, making his debut in animated film scoring. Additionally, two original songs were created for the movie, performed by Maren Morris. “Kiss the Sky” and “Even When I’m Not” are integral to the film, with the latter featured in the end credits. These songs were written by a team including Morris, Ali Tamposi, Michael Pollack, Delacey, and the Johnson brothers
