When we talk about animated movies, The Wild Robot was easily the highlight of 2024, and it would easily go down as one of the most influential and popular animated movies of all time. Now, looking at the success and love received by the movie, DreamWorks is moving forward with a sequel to The Wild Robot titled “The Wild Robot Escapes,” based on the second book in the series by author Peter Brown. DreamWorks has tapped Troy Quane and Heidi Jo Gilbert to direct the animated movie, and here are all the details you need to know about it.

Everything We Know About the Wild Robot Sequel

As mentioned above, the sequel to The Wild Robot is titled “The Wild Robot Escapes” and will be directed by Troy Quane and co-directed by Heidi Jo Gilbert. Previously, the original movie was directed by Chris Sanders, but this time, the director behind the Oscar-nominated “Nimona” will take charge of the sequel. Jeff Hermann, the producer of the first movie, will be returning for The Wild Robot Escapes.
