DreamWorks Animation's latest offering, *The Wild Robot*, is reportedly one of the studio's final fully in-house animated films. Directed by Chris Sanders (Lilo & Stitch, How to Train Your Dragon), this film boasts a star-studded voice cast including Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, and Mark Hamill, exploring the fascinating intersection of technology and nature. IGN's review hailed it as "a tear-jerking and unpredictable animated adventure," and it's already generating significant awards buzz, earning four Golden Globe nominations, ten Annie Award nominations (the most of any film this year), and an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature. A sequel is already in the works, with Sanders returning to the director's chair.
