Read on for everything you need to know about where to watch The Wild Robot , and when we expect to be able to watch The Wild Robot on streaming.

The Wild Robot will only available to watch in a movie theater, when it opens in the U.S. on Friday, September 27. You can find a showing near you via Fandango . The Wild Robot is not yet available to watch online or on streaming.

The Wild Robot is not streaming on Disney+, and will not be on Disney+ any time soon, due to the fact that the film is a Universal release and not a Disney movie. Not every animated movie is a Disney movie! Almost all Universal movies go to the NBCUniversal streaming platform, Peacock . If you want to watch The Wild Robot movie at home, you’ll have to wait for the film to be available to buy or rent on digital platforms, or wait for it to stream on Peacock.

The Wild Robot is not yet streaming on Peacock. Right now, the movie is only in theaters. That said, we do expect to see Speak No Evil streaming on Peacock eventually, but we’re not sure when. Another Universal release, The Bikeriders began streaming on Peacock on August 9, which was about a month-and-a-half after the film opened in theaters, and about one month after the film released on digital.

If The Wild Robot follows a similar release pattern, you might see the movie on digital by late October 2024, and streaming on Peacock around the end of November 2024.

The Wild Robot is not streaming on Netflix right now, but will stream on Netflix after four months after it streams on Peacock, as part of Universal’s deal with Netflix that sends Universal animated movies to Netflix for a limited period. If our prediction for the Peacock release of The Wild Robot is correct, then you might see The Wild Robot streaming on Netflix around March or April 2025.

This is all speculation. If you want to watch The Wild Robot movie right away, you can catch the movie in theaters.
