In partnership with Back Lot Music, Waxwork Records is thrilled to release THE WILD ROBOT Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Music by Kris Bowers. The Wild Robot is a 2024 DreamWorks animated feature film based on the book series of the same name by Peter Brown. It stars Lupita Nyong'o as Roz, the title character, alongside an ensemble voice cast including Pedro Pascal, Mark Hamill, Catherine O'Hara, and Ving Rhames.

The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot, Roz, that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.

In The Wild Robot, the synergy between music and narrative achieves unparalleled heights under the craftsmanship of Oscar^® winning composer Kris Bowers.

Bowers’ creative process on The Wild Robot began with early conversations with director Chris Sanders. “We spoke about the relationships and emotional themes in this story and how music might help underline and enrich the narrative,” Bowers says.

“Our conversations about parenthood, the complex dynamic between Brightbill and Roz, and Roz’s dedication to kindness as a survival mechanism, generated a clear and visceral emotional response within me, and so much of my composition process was trying to recreate the same emotional sensations. The process of composing those main themes for the score to represent the emotional landscape involved a bit of trial and error and back and forth, but once we had those themes and the palette for the score, I was able to just follow the emotional journey the story was taking me on as a viewer and respond to it with music.”

The soundtrack also features two songs performed by Maren Morris titled Kiss The Sky and Even When I'm Not.

Waxwork Records is ecstatic to release THE WILD ROBOT Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Music By Kris Bowers as a deluxe double LP featuring crystal clear vinyl with blue orb and green, mint, and black splatter housed in a heavyweight gatefold jacket with matte satin coating. Also included is a 12 page booklet with exclusive liner notes by director Chris Sanders and composer Kris Bowers alongside artwork from the film.
