The 2024 DreamWorks Animation film “The Wild Robot” is officially coming to 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray Disc on December 3rd via Universal Studios Home Entertainment. The film is based on the book (of the same title) written by Peter Brown. Chris Sanders directed and wrote the movie adaptation. The voice cast features the talent of Lupita Nyong’o, Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor, Bill Nighy, Stephanie Hsu, Matt Berry, Ving Rhames, Mark Hamill, and Catherine O’Hara. It’s certainly worth noting that this film is “Certified Fresh” (by critics) and “Verified Hot” (by audiences) on Rotten Tomatoes.

The tech specs for the 4K release include a 2160p video presentation in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio with Dolby Vision and HDR10 forms of high dynamic range and Dolby Atmos sound, on a BD-100 disc. Tech specs for the Blu-ray include a 1080p HD video presentation in the 2.39:1 aspect ratio and Dolby Atmos sound, on a BD-50 disc. The 4K release will come as a “combo pack” with its Blu-ray counterpart included. Each release will feature a digital copy of the film that is compatible with Movies Anywhere.

The 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray are now available for preorder at Amazon. Also, you can find the 4K UHD Blu-ray and Blu-ray available for preorder at online retailer GRUV. The following bonus material will be included with these releases.
