Its digital release began October 15, 2024, and its 4K UHD and Blu-ray editions followed December 3, 2024. The “#2 movie at the box office” description refers to a 2024 weekend ranking—not a current chart position.
Where can you watch The Wild Robot at home?
Universal’s at-home listing presents the 2024 animated film in digital, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray and DVD formats. Digital purchase or rental began October 15, 2024; 4K UHD and Blu-ray arrived December 3, 2024, according to Universal’s October 14, 2024 announcement.
Those are the original release dates, not a guarantee that a particular retailer has the title in stock or offers it on particular terms today. Check the retailer’s current listing for availability, price and edition details. Universal says a digital purchase is a limited license subject to the retailer’s terms; it should not be understood as an unrestricted video file.
Peacock announced the film as a streaming exclusive when it arrived on the service, but that announcement does not establish whether it remains in the catalog now. Check Peacock’s live catalog or a current streaming search before subscribing or renting elsewhere.

Which home edition should you choose?
| Format | What Universal lists | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Digital | Purchase or rental | Current retailer, access terms and whether the specific purchase includes bonus features |
| 4K Ultra HD | 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital Collector’s Edition | Player and display compatibility, current stock, package contents and digital redemption terms |
| Blu-ray | Blu-ray + Digital Collector’s Edition | Blu-ray player compatibility and the retailer’s edition-specific contents |
| DVD | DVD | Confirm the package and included extras on the current listing |
The 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray + Digital Collector’s Edition is the most specifically described disc option in Universal’s announcement. The studio says participating retailers’ ownership editions include extras such as an alternate opening, recording-booth footage with the voice cast, and how-to-draw tutorials. Because bonus content and technical details can vary by edition, confirm the package listing before buying if a particular extra matters to you.
Universal’s announcement lists English Dolby Atmos for the feature and Dolby Digital 2.0 for bonus content, with French Canadian and Latin American Spanish audio options. Treat those as studio-announced details, not a guarantee for every edition or retailer listing; verify the audio and language options for the exact product.
Rank #2
At launch, Universal named Apple TV, Fandango at Home (then called Vudu), Comcast Xfinity, Cox, Microsoft Movies & TV and Movies Anywhere as digital retailers. That historical list does not establish current availability or pricing at any of them.
What does “#2 at the box office” mean?
The ranking refers to one weekend in the film’s 2024 theatrical run. The Associated Press reported that The Wild Robot placed second that weekend with $7.6 million, up 11% from the prior weekend. At the time of that report, its North American total was more than $121 million and its worldwide total was $269 million. These are period-specific figures, not a current ranking or a newly updated lifetime gross. AP quoted Comscore senior media analyst Paul Dergarabedian saying, “For that film to see an increase after six weeks is astounding.”

Rank #3
- Region 1 DVD
- Dolby Audio
- Collector's Edition
In an earlier report, AP said the film opened to $35 million in U.S. and Canada ticket sales, according to studio estimates, and received an A CinemaScore. Dergarabedian then suggested it “may take a page from the ‘Elemental’ playbook by opening to respectable box office and then looking toward long-term playability.” The opening-weekend estimate and audience grade provide context for the later second-place weekend, but neither makes that historical placement a present-day box-office status.

Universal describes the film as an adaptation of Peter Brown’s book. Roz, a robot shipwrecked on an uninhabited island, learns to adapt to her surroundings and form relationships with the animals there. She becomes the adoptive parent of Brightbill, an orphaned gosling. Chris Sanders wrote and directed the animated family film.
Rank #4
Universal rates it PG for action/peril and thematic elements and gives it a runtime of 1 hour 42 minutes. Those details may help families decide whether the film suits their household; the rating is not a substitute for a parent’s judgment about its themes.
