DreamWorks' wonderful animated sci-fi movie "The Wild Robot" is shaping up to be another hit.
The movie hit theaters on Friday, September 27, 2024, and has been very warmly received by critics and viewers alike. At the time of writing, it holds a 97% critics rating and a hefty 98% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. Impressively, it's already raked in more than $55 million worldwide in just a matter of days... and it isn't even out in some territories just yet, either.
The movie follows a shipwrecked robot, "Roz" (voiced by Lupita Nyong'o), who learns to adapt to their new surroundings while building relationships with the animals on the island and caring for an orphaned gosling.
"The Wild Robot" was already drawing attention for its impressive visual stylings and its star-studded voice cast, and now that audience members have confirmed that it's a great watch, it's no surprise that many would-be viewers are already trying to find out when "The Wild Robot" is coming to streaming.
Below, you can find out all the latest info we have about "The Wild Robot" streaming date; here's what we know right now.
When is 'The Wild Robot' coming to streaming?
As of our latest update, "The Wild Robot" is now available to buy or rent on Premium Video-On-Demand (PVOD) services like Prime Video, after releasing on October 15, though it may still be playing at movie theaters near you if you'd prefer to see it on the big screen.
Universal still hasn't confirmed a streaming date yet, but we at least know where "The Wild Robot" will be available to stream after PVOD. That's because Universal's animated movies head to Peacock once their theatrical run is up. They'll be available to watch on Peacock for four months, then they head to Netflix.
If we look back at Universal's recent animated features, we can kind of predict roughly when "The Wild Robot" will be streaming. "Kung Fu Panda 4" only took 106 days to come to Peacock, while both "Migration" and "Trolls: Band Together" debuted 120 days after their theatrical releases. It's a similar story with Universal's live-action releases, too: "The Fall Guy" also took 120 days to come to Peacock, for example.
Using these movies as a rough guide, we can guess that "The Wild Robot" will be streaming on Peacock around mid-January 2025. When Universal makes an official announcement about "The Wild Robot" streaming date, we'll be sure to update this article with all the latest info.
