Netflix Now Streaming One Of The Best Movies Of 2024
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.

Trump's $100B AI Shockwave: Nvidia Back in China, Coal Back on the Grid
The Trump administration is preparing a full-court press on artificial intelligence, with a major policy address scheduled for July 23 titled Winning the AI Race. It's expected to be Trump's most detailed take on the technology to date. The event is backed by White House AI and crypto advisor David Sacks and his All-In podcast co-hosts. Behind the scenes, a sweeping AI action plan is nearing completionbuilt with heavy industry inputand could soon be cemented by executive order. The blueprint focuses on cutting red tape, expanding energy access for data centers, and getting federal buy-in on a more streamlined, pro-growth regulatory regime. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with NVDA. One of the headline shifts: the U.S. now plans to allow AI chipmakers to resume some exports to China. That includes Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA)'s H20 chips, a move seen as a significant win for CEO Jensen Huang, who has been openly critical of prior export bans. Huang met privately with Trump in Washington last week, where discussions reportedly focused on boosting U.S. AI competitiveness. For Nvidia and AMD, this could reopen a multi-billion-dollar channel that had been shut off earlier this year. The reversal comes amid growing concern over China's rapid AI developmenthighlighted by DeepSeek's surprisingly cheap R1 model that raised eyebrows across Wall Street in January. Energy is also taking center stage. With AI data centers projected to more than double their share of U.S. electricity demand by 2035from 3.5% to 8.6%the Trump team is calling for expanded use of coal, gas, and nuclear power. Earlier this year, Trump helped broker a $100 billion data center investment involving SoftBank, Oracle, and OpenAI. Meanwhile, a controversial bid to preempt state AI laws for a decade was ultimately stripped from the recent tax package, but not before it gained vocal support from tech investors like Marc Andreessen and Joe Lonsdale. Taken together, Trump's AI agenda is shaping up to be aggressive, industry-led, and laser-focused on outpacing China. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

President Trump touted billions of dollars in investments from some of the world's biggest companies to create an artificial intelligence hub in Pennsylvania. Trump made the announcement during an AI and energy summit at Carnegie Mellon University earlier today. Google said it would put $25 billion into data centers and related infrastructure in the state and the surrounding region over the next two years. Private equity firm Blackstone promised another $25 billion and AI startup CoreWeave announced a $6 billion investment. Plus, Apple has struck a deal with MP Materials to buy $500 million worth of rare earth magnets. The move helps the iPhone maker expand its US supply chain. MP will supply Apple with magnets it produces in a Texas facility and use recycled materials processed at a site MP will build in California. Such magnets are used in iPhones as well as audio equipment and microphones inside various Apple products. MP said shipments are expected to begin in 2027.

Elon, Inc: Remembering Musk's Political Rise
On this week's episode of Elon, Inc., host Max Chafkin and Bloomberg News reporters Dana Hull and Kurt Wagner chat about Elon Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI. The endeavor just debuted its new Grok 4 model on the heels of an antisemitism controversy, but Musk sees a brighter future for his creation, claiming it might discover 'new physics' one day. Before that happens, though, the buzziest feature of the model is its AI companions—including a pigtailed and corseted anime character. Musk introduced Grok 4 as news dropped that one of his other companies, SpaceX, would invest in xAI, and that another company he happens to run, Tesla, might follow suit (pending a shareholder vote). Our guests discuss what exactly it means when a rocket company and a car company invest in another company that's making AI girlfriends, especially when all those companies happen to be run by the richest man in the world. Then Wagner takes over the hosting chair to interview New York Times reporter Teddy Schleifer about the role Musk and his Silicon Valley billionaire pals have played in building the Trump administration, starting before the Republican took office. The conversation is the first in a summer series in which our Elon, Inc. panelists interview Musk reporters about the stories we're jealous we didn't write first. Schleifer recounts the weeks following Election Day last year, when Musk embedded himself at Trump's home at Mar-a-Lago in an effort to influence the future president's plans. As candidates for top cabinet positions began swinging by the Florida club, they found themselves seated across from Musk's loyal aides. Wagner and Schleifer also discuss the constantly evolving relationship between Musk and Trump, and whether Musk will still be involved in politics when the year comes to a close.
