On August 20, DreamWorks Animation, an animation studio under Universal Pictures, announced on its official Weibo account that its new film "Wild Robots" will be released in theaters in mainland China on September 20, which has attracted much attention.

The film is adapted from Pete Brown's best-selling book of the same name. The film is produced by DreamWorks, a veteran animation production company, and directed by Chris Sanders, who has directed "How to Train Your Dragon", "Lilo and Stitch" and "The Croods". It focuses on the story of the robot Rose (played by Lupita Nyong'o) who accidentally drifted to an isolated island, deviated from the development track preset by the program, and had to face the harsh living environment. After she met a little grey goose and became its "mother", she gradually found a sense of belonging on this deserted island.

The film's trailer has a healing style, the main animal's fur is realistic, and the style is very similar to a picture book.

Regarding this point, in June, when "Wild Robots" was screened at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival, director and screenwriter Chris Sanders responded in an interview that since Rose is a high-tech robot who was stranded on a desert island due to an accident, the creative team avoided using traditional CG special effects to create a conventional wilderness scene. The art staff chose to use digital pens to paint every sky and every tree in "Wild Robots" stroke by stroke.

"The most important thing for us in making movies is to let the audience get the same feeling as Rhodes from the screen: everything in front of them is so unusual... In "Wild Robots", we pushed the boundaries (technical limits) to an unprecedented position. It can even be said that we have completed a closed loop from "Bambi" and "Pinocchio" to modern animation." Chris Sanders said.
