‘Wildwood’ Trailer: Laika Returns To Its Nature With Latest Stop-Motion Fantasy Adventure

Laika on Wednesday released the first trailer for Wildwood, the first stop-motion animated movie from the studio since 2019’s The Missing Link, the most recent in a string of five Oscar-nominated pics in a row dating back to 2009’s Coraline.

The new pic, directed and produced by Laika boss Travis Knight, was adapted by Masters of the Universe and Kubo and the Two Strings scribe Chris Butler from the book series by The Decemberists’ frontman Colin Meloy. It will open in theaters October 23 via Fathom Entertainment, the specialty distributor that has previously backed rereleases of Laika hits like Coraline and 2012’s ParaNorman.
