Netflix Now Streaming One Of The Best Movies Of 2024
Many subscribers wait until a major movie hits Netflix so they can see it after its theatrical run. Whether watching a movie for the first time or revisiting a title, it offers a new life and that happens to be the case with one of the best movies of 2024 which was recently added to Netflix.
This is actually the second streaming service to carry the title, which had its initial release on Peacock, but licenses tend to move from one streaming platform to another. Now, at the time of this writing, the critically-acclaimed movie has made its way to Netflix where it's taken the number one spot on the United States.
This places the film above the likes of new releases like Fear Street: Prom Queen and other recent fan-favorites like Despicable Me 4 . Interestingly, this title happens to be an animated movie similar to the latter, but one that's received very high reviews from critics and audiences alike.
This animated film from DreamWorks Animation was distributed by Universal Pictures and it's none other than The Wild Robot . The animated sci-fi feature adapts the 2016 novel of the same name by Peter Brown, and it revolves around a robot named Roz that finds a new life on an uninhabited island after being shipwrecked.
It's a beautiful title written and directed by Chris Sanders that revolves around the existence of technology combined with nature. Its voice cast includes the likes of Lupita Nyong'o, Pedro Pascal, Kit Connor, Bill Nighy, Stephanie Hsu, Matt Berry, Ving Rhames, Mark Hamill, and Catherine O'Hara, all of whom have received praise from viewers.
It's an incredible example of an original animated film connecting with viewers in new and impressive ways, having earned several awards in addition to grossing $334.1 million worldwide on a $78 million budget. In fact, a sequel to The Wild Robot is also in the works, which gives another reason for Netflix subscribers to check out this 2024 hit.
Stay tuned to ScreenGeek for more news regarding the latest trending titles on streaming and any other news regarding The Wild Robot as we have it. For now, it looks like Netflix is the place to go if you'd like to stream the film.

More Colleges Freeze Hiring And Suspend Salary Increases
Colleges and universities continue to look for ways to cut spending because of the Trump Administration's policies towards higher education. One June 2nd, Johns Hopkins University announced a set of policies to prepare for a possible decline in revenue. They join a list of schools including Brown University, Duke University, Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, the University of Washington, and the University of California system, that have temporarily paused hiring and vow to hold off on capital spending. Hopkins has already seen $850 million in grant cuts resulting from the culling of USAID and other program terminations, plus the school has a large number of international students (many who pay full tuition) who may be dissuaded from studying in the U.S. due to the Administration's more restrictive visa policies. Like a number of elite universities, Johns Hopkins relies heavily on tuition from international students attending its undergraduate and graduate programs. In the 2024-2025 academic year, over ten thousand foreign students were enrolled at Johns Hopkins according to the Institute of International Education. In addition to the hiring freeze, University President Ron Daniels also announced a pause in annual pay increases for employees earning $80,000 or more, a slowing of capital projects by 10% to 20%, and spending cuts for travel, events, food, and supplies. The salary freezes will likely squeeze faculty, who have seen real wages decline. From 2013 to 2023, average pay for faculty (when adjusted for inflation) has decreased by 1.5%, while administrative pay has risen by 4% for the same time frame. In addition, administrative staff positions at most universities and colleges has grown faster than faculty. There is no doubt the universities and colleges need to take steps to address the impact of the Trump Administration's policies. Although painful, the policies issued by Johns Hopkins and other schools are necessary in the near-term. But a different approach is needed long-term. One that doesn't rely on higher student tuition or faculty salaries that fall further behind inflation. These policies should include: The Trump Administration's policies towards colleges and their students may eventually be rolled back or reversed at some point, but in the meantime, higher education needs to rethink their budgets and what should be prioritized.
