DreamWorks The Wild Robot looks absolutely amazing. And the story, based on the Wild Robot trilogy by Peter Brown, explores what it means to be alive and a part of the world around us.

Here's the official synopsis from DreamWorks:

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. 

"The Wild Robot" stars Lupita Nyong’o as robot Roz, Pedro Pascal as fox Fink, Catherine O’Hara as opossum Pinktail, Bill Nighy as goose Longneck, Kit Connor as gosling Brightbill, and Stephanie Hsu as Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island. The film also features the voice talents of Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames.

The Wild Robot arrives in theaters on September 27th.
