Josh Cooley directed the latest Transformers movie, which is entirely animated and sure to draw kids’ attention for many years.

From DreamWorks Animation comes a new adaptation of a literary sensation: Peter Brown’s beloved, award-winning, and #1 New York Times bestseller The Wild Robot.
The epic adventure parallels Hayao Miyazaki’s storytelling without the Japanese filmmaker’s artistic, non-AI quality.
Chris Sanders wrote and directed the film, which follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134, “Roz” for short. The robot crashes on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings. Gradually, he builds relationships with the animals on the island and becomes the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling.
The Wild Robot stars Lupita Nyong’o as robot Roz, Pedro Pascal as fox Fink; Catherine O’Hara as opossum Pinktail; Bill Nighy as goose Longneck; Kit Connor as gosling Brightbill and Stephanie Hsu as Vontra, a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island.
The film also features the voice talents of Mark Hamill, Matt Berry, and Ving Rhames.
It’s a powerful story about the discovery of self, a thrilling examination of the bridge between technology and nature and a moving exploration of what it means to be alive and connected to all living things.

This summer, DreamWorks Animation dives into the turbulent waters of high school with a hilarious, heartfelt action comedy about a shy teenager who discovers that she’s part of a legendary royal lineage of mythical sea krakens and that her destiny, in the depths of the oceans, is bigger than she ever dreamed.
Sweet, awkward 16-year-old Ruby Gillman, voiced by Lana Condor, is desperate to fit in at Oceanside High but mostly feels invisible.
She’s math-tutoring her skater-boy crush, voiced by Jaboukie Young-White, who only seems to admire her for her fractals, and she’s prevented from hanging out with the cool kids at the beach because her over-protective supermom, voiced by Toni Collette, has forbidden Ruby from ever getting in the water.
But when she breaks her mom’s #1 rule, Ruby will discover that she is a direct descendant of the warrior Kraken queens and is destined to inherit the throne from her commanding grandmother, voiced by Jane Fonda, the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas.
The Krakens have sworn to protect the world’s oceans against the vain, power-hungry mermaids. One significant and immediate problem: The school’s beautiful, popular new girl, Chelsea, voiced by Annie Murphy, is a mermaid. Ruby must ultimately embrace who she is and go big to protect those she loves most.
After two films of genuine friendship and relentless flirting, Poppy, voiced by Anna Kendrick, and Branch, voiced by Justin Timberlake, are now officially a couple!

BroZone disbanded when Branch was still a baby, as did the family, and Branch hadn’t seen his brothers since.
But when nefarious pop-star villains kidnap Branch’s bro Floyd for his musical talents, they embark on a harrowing and emotional journey.
The villains are Velvet, voiced by Amy Schumer, and Veneer, voiced by Andrew Rannells. Poppy and Branch reunite the other brothers and rescue Floyd from a fate worse than pop-culture obscurity.
