Wildwood Title Reveal | LAIKA Studios – YouTube Watch On
LAIKA has unveiled a first look at its new dark fantasy movie Wildwood – and it looks just as stunning and otherworldly as we’ve come to expect from the stop-motion animation studio.
The brief-but-epic teaser is currently showing before Coraline, which has been remastered and rereleased in cinemas in honor of its 15th anniversary. Based on Colin Meloy’s 2011 novel of the same name, Wildwood is set to introduce two new protagonists to LAIKA’s roster: Prue McKeel and Curtis Melhberg, both of whom can be seen in silhouette at the end of the clip.
Light on plot reveals, the promo, which you can watch above, establishes the film’s visual tone instead, which looks to us like a combination of some of the best Switch games, like Oxenfree, Night in the Woods, Ori and the Blind Forest, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
It opens with a montage of LAIKA’s previous works, including Coraline, ParaNorman, and Kubo and the Two Strings, as a voiceover says,
