Chris Sanders' "The Wild Robot" stays true to Peter Brown's book ending. Sanders faced challenges but received DreamWorks Animation's full support for the book's ending.

Interestingly, Brown has already published two sequels to his original work, with 2018’s The Wild Robot Escapes and 2023’s The Wild Robot Protects, effectively building upon Roz’s storyline.

Brown released the first book in 2016 through Little, Brown Books for Young Readers, followed by its sequels, 2018’s The Wild Robot Escapes and 2023’s The Wild Robot Protects.

Parents who buy the book for their kids find themselves moved by a story that is not intended for them but somehow speaks to them. Peter Brown's "The Wild Robot" is one such book.

Peter Brown is the author of "The Wild Robot," which was turned into an Oscar-nominated movie. My 7-year-old son is obsessed with both the movie and the book and wanted to interview Brown.

The Wild Robot sequel is confirmed to be in development by the original creative team. The 2024 hit made nearly $330M globally on a $78M budget, making a sequel likely.
