Check out the teaser trailer for WILDWOOD, the new stop-motion delight from Laika!
Based on the book written by Colin Meloy and illustrated by Carson Elli, WILDWOOD is another stop-motion gem in Laika’s crown, directed and produced by Travis Knight and written by Chris Butler.
After a murder of crows abducts her baby brother, headstrong teenager Prue McKeel launches a desperate rescue mission into the Impassable Wilderness—an enchanted forest hidden just beyond Portland, Oregon. Joined by her hapless but loyal classmate Curtis Mehlberg, Prue navigates a world of talking animals, bandits, and powerful figures driven by grief and ambition. As the pair is drawn into a conflict threatening the balance of the forest itself, Prue must discover the strength and belief she never knew she possessed. If she hopes to save her brother and protect Wildwood’s fragile future, she will have to risk everything. From Oscar®-nominated and BAFTA®-winning LAIKA, Wildwood is a sweeping adventure about love, sacrifice, and the magic that reveals itself when we dare to look beyond the familiar.
