Generally speaking, there’s usually a gap between the release of animated films. However, it’s common to see a break even on weekends when new Pixar or DreamWorks titles come out. Interestingly, ‘Transformers One’ and ‘The Wild Robot’ are bucking that trend. The former was released by Paramount on September 20th, while the latter, directed by Chris Sanders, will hit theaters a week later on September 27th. This mirrors the crowded release frame of Thanksgiving 1991, when ‘An American Tale: Fievel Goes West’ and ‘Beauty and the Beast’ were both released just two weeks apart. However, this time around, the competition is in late September, a popular time for launching family-friendly animated films.
