The Wild Robot: New Clip And Original Song Have Been Released

Universal has released a new clip from The Wild Robot in which ROZ and some raccoons don't get along. They also released one of two original songs from Maren Morris.



Article Summary

  • Universal releases a new clip of ROZ facing raccoons from DreamWorks' The Wild Robot.
  • Maren Morris debuts original song "Kiss the Sky" for The Wild Robot's soundtrack.
  • The song features in a geese migration scene with music by Kris Bowers.
  • The Wild Robot releases on September 27, 2024, highlighting a strong animation lineup.

The Wild Robot is still looking like it could be one of the best things that DreamWorks has put out in a while, and the more footage we see, the more we stand by that statement. September looks like it could be a really fun month at the movies because we have a wide variety of genres all getting shots at the box office, and animation, specifically, is getting this film and Transformers One within weeks of each other. Animation is a genre that tends to thrive when everyone is doing well, and Pixar absolutely dominated the box office. A new clip was released that shows our hero, ROZ, going up against some wild trash pandas, and it is not exactly going well. Universal has also released a new original song for the film, 'Kiss the Sky' by Marren Morris. Here is the press briefing that came with the released song:

"Grammy winning singer-songwriter and music sensation Maren Morris has created a new original song exclusively for the breathtaking new DreamWorks Animation film, The Wild Robot. "Kiss the Sky" arrives today alongside a music video and will be featured on the full soundtrack album for The Wild Robot on September 27, 2024. The track was crafted for a stunning, seven-minute scene of geese migration, a pivotal emotional sequence in the film. As the sequence continues, the song is interwoven with the film's score by Oscar® winning composer Kris Bowers (Green Book).

Maren Morris also has a second original song, "Even When I'm Not," that will be released along with the rest of the album. Both songs represent a collaborative effort, co-written by Morris along with Ali Tamposi, Michael Pollack, Delacey, Jordan Johnson and Stefan Johnson, with Isaiah Tejada contributing additional writing to "Even When I'm Not." The production duo The Monsters & Strangerz (Jordan & Stefan Johnson) produced both tracks alongside Tejada."

The Wild Robot: Summary, Cast List, Release Date

From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation, Peter Brown's beloved, award-winning, #1 New York Times bestseller, The Wild Robot. The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, "Roz" for short — that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.
