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.
After her baby brother is abducted by a murder of crows, headstrong teenager Prue McKeel (Peyton Elizabeth Lee) 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 (Jacob Tremblay), 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.

“A marvelous technical
achievement that packs an emotional wallop, Wildwood reaffirms the value
of a thoughtful fantasy tale told straight while dazzling the eye with its
innovative and painstaking stop-motion wizardry.”
Rotten Tomatoes
“[It] is a gorgeous ode to
outsiders, nature, and everything we seem to be losing as we march toward a
tech-heavy future.”
RogerEbert.com
“Everyone involved is in
service to a story powered by a young female protagonist and her socially
awkward male buddy. "Wildwood" isn’t just a fantastic movie — it’s a
film that will make certain people feel seen.”
Boston Globe
“Wildwood is a marvellous
film. From the moment it opens, with a simple curl of a leaf, rustling in the
wind, you understand why this stop-motion animation movie took five years to
make.”
Globe and Mail
“It is an astonishing
achievement, spectacularly beautiful, touching, exciting, and meaningful.”
Movie Mom
“Astonishing. An ode to
outsiders and weirdos, alive with colour and atmosphere and eccentricity — and
told on an expansive, ambitious canvas, of a scale never before seen in
stop-motion animation.”
