What will the Stray movie be about?

While there is no official synopsis of the Stray film, it will likely follow the events of the hit video game. The title follows a stray cat and its adventures throughout a robot-populated city with the drone companion, B-12.

Annapurna Animation boss Robert Baird spoke to En t ertainment Weekly about what fans can expect from the film.

“This is a game that’s all about what makes us human, and there are no humans in it,” he said. “It’s a buddy comedy about a cat and a robot, and there’s such a hilarious dynamic. So, there’s comedy inherent in this, but there’s not one human being in this movie.”

“I think it’s one of the reasons why the game was incredibly popular, that you are seeing the world through the point of view of an adorable cat. How did they pull that off, and how are we going to pull that off in the movie? We will, even though sometimes it feels impossible, but we know that’s the essence of the game and the key to telling the story,” he continued.
