If you missed The Wild Robot in the madness of last year’s holiday season, Universal’s about to make it a little easier to catch the animated sci-fi adventure on both the big and small screens.
The Wild Robot has been available to purchase physically on DVD / Blu-ray and on digital platforms like Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video for some time now. But today, Universal announced that, following the film’s upcoming theatrical rerelease on January 17th, it will also be available to stream for Peacock subscribers starting on January 24th. The news comes after The Wild Robot’s successful initial box office run that saw it rake in an impressive $324.3 million worldwide and secure a number of awards from various film critics groups.
The theatrical rerelease feels a lot like Universal’s way of priming the public to be thinking more about The Wild Robot as we march deeper into awards season, but it’s also going to give folks more options to experience one of 2024’s best films.
