Ron's Gone Wrong

The animated comedy adventure, which stars Zach Galifianakis, Jack Dylan Grazer, Olivia Colman, Ed Helms and Justice Smith, is a touching and hilarious look at the budding friendship between a middle-school boy and his faulty robot.

20th Century Studios and Locksmith Animation's "Ron's Gone Wrong" is the story of Barney, a socially awkward middle-schooler and Ron, his new walking, talking, digitally-connected device, which is supposed to be his "Best Friend out of the Box."

Ron's hilarious malfunctions, set against the backdrop of the social media age, launch them into an action-packed journey in which boy and robot come to terms with the wonderful messiness of true friendship.

"Ron's Gone Wrong" features the voices of Zach Galifianakis ("A Wrinkle in Time"), Jack Dylan Grazer ("Shazam!"), Olivia Colman ("The Crown"), Ed Helms ("The Office"), Justice Smith ("Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom"), Rob Delaney ("Deadpool 2"), Kylie Cantrall ("Gabby Duran and the Unsittables"), Ricardo Hurtado ("The Goldbergs"), Marcus Scribner ("Black-ish"), and Thomas Barbusca ("Chad").

The film is directed by Pixar veteran Jean-Philippe Vine (story artist on "Cars 3" and "The Good Dinosaur") and Locksmith co-founder Sarah Smith ("Arthur Christmas") with Octavio Rodriguez (story artist on "Coco" and "The Incredibles 2") co-directing. The script is written by Peter Baynham ("Arthur Christmas," "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," "Borat: Subsequent Moviefilm") & Smith. Julie Lockhart ("Shaun the Sheep Movie," "The Pirates! Band of Misfits"), also a co-founder of Locksmith, and Lara Breay produce, with Locksmith chairman Elisabeth Murdoch, Smith and Baynham serving as executive producers.

Ron's Gone Wrong, the first theatrical release from the U.K.-based CG animation studio Locksmith Animation, will open in cinemas October 21, 2021.

Review: Ron's Gone Wrong

THEY SAY : The story of the unusual friendship that develops between Barney, an awkward primary-schooler, and Ron, his new walking, talking, digitally connected device.

WE SAY : Quality, family-oriented movies are very thin on the ground at the moment. So if you are a parent wanting to treat younger kids to something they will definitely want to see, this lively and indisputably adorable animated affair is the only way to go. The only sticking point is a 100-minute running time, which is a touch too long for some little 'uns.
