In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the popularity of various cartoons and animations. In this category, 2024 saw a major shakeup with the release of Inside Out 2, which has so far earned $1.7 billion, becoming the highest-grossing film in this genre in history. Now, it seems a strong contender is emerging, as The Wild Robot is already conquering American theaters.
DreamWorks Animation Conquers American Theaters. Will It Beat Pixar’s Inside Out 2?
We're talking about The Wild Robot from DreamWorks, which was first introduced to a broader audience on September 8, 2024, at the Toronto Film Festival. At the time, it didn’t particularly impress critics, leading analysts to predict it wouldn’t be a huge success. However, opinions changed dramatically when the animation hit U.S. theaters on September 27, followed by the U.K. the next day.
After the first screenings, viewers began sharing their thoughts online, and it was their reviews that started drawing crowds to theaters. This, in turn, boosted box office results, with the film earning over $53 million in just five days. Considering the figure continues to grow and the film has yet to premiere in other countries, including Poland, it could potentially match the record set by Inside Out 2.

A Release Date Has Been Announced
Polish audiences will have to wait a little longer to see The Wild Robot. According to the plan, the film will debut on big screens on October 11. It’s also possible that after some time, the movie will be available for streaming. Universal, one of the co-producers, has a deal with Netflix, meaning that after its theatrical run, the film could potentially be added to the platform’s library. Will this actually happen? We’ll find out in due time.
