In the absence of new animated releases from Netflix or Universal/Illumination, three classic DreamWorks Animation films have surged to the top of Netflix’s movie charts. These films include [Movie Title 1], [Movie Title 2], and [Movie Title 3]. Despite their age, these animated favorites continue to captivate audiences and stand alongside recent hits like [Movie Title 4] and [Movie Title 5], which dominated the box office last year. While there may not be any comparable animated releases on the immediate horizon, Netflix’s extensive library of beloved DreamWorks films ensures a strong lineup of animated entertainment for the foreseeable future.
DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming family film, ‘ROZZUM,’ has adjusted its release plans, moving its debut to September 27, 2024, instead of the previously scheduled September 20, 2024. This adjustment allows for some distance from Paramount’s feature, which recently moved to the September 20th slot. ‘ROZZUM,’ directed by Chris Sanders and featuring Lupita Nyong’o as the voice of ROZZUM unit 7134 (Roz), follows the journey of a robot who finds herself stranded on an uninhabited island and must navigate the challenges of her new environment. Adapting to the island’s harsh conditions, Roz forms unexpected friendships with the animals she encounters, transforming her isolated existence. The film draws inspiration from Peter Brown’s celebrated illustrated middle-grade novel of the same name, initially published in 2016. The book’s success led to the development of a trilogy, inspiring the movie adaptation. The ‘ROZZUM’ voice cast boasts an impressive ensemble, including Catherine O’Hara, Bill Nighy, Kit Connor, and Stephanie Hsu, alongside the vocal talents of Matt Berry, Ving Rhames, and Emmy nominee Ving Rhames. DreamWorks Animation characterizes ‘ROZZUM’ as a compelling exploration of self-discovery and the intersection of technology and nature.
DreamWorks Animation’s upcoming animated film, ‘The Wild Robot,’ has shifted its release date from September 20 to September 27. The move comes as Paramount’s ‘Transformers One’ has muscled into the September 20 slot, while Universal has impressed exhibitors with footage of its upcoming film at CinemaCon. Universal’s ‘Beetlejuice Beetlejuice,’ a sequel to the Tim Burton classic, is also expected to perform well when it opens on September 6.
