“Brown’s rich descriptions of undersea landscapes, entertaining conversations between Roz and wild creatures, and concise yet powerful explanations of the effect of the poison tide on the ecology of the island are superb.

The Wild Robot MOVIE!

I am so excited to announce that Dreamworks Animation is currently wrapping up a feature animated film based on my book, The Wild Robot. The movie will open in theaters on September 20, 2024, and they’ve just released the movie poster and the first teaser trailer and announced the cast of voice actors. I’ve known about this movie for quite a while now, and I’m so glad I can finally share the details. My love of animation is what first made me want to go to art school. I grew up watching classic Disney animation and going to animation festivals…
