Wildwood is one of the greatest animated movies ever made. It’s magical and stunning and heartfelt. The score is incredible and there were scenes that took my breath away. I was moved to tears with childlike wonder. Congrats to LAIKA. Human art is everything ❤️#LFF
LAIKA’s #Wildwood is a landmark moment in animation. Masterful artistry and flawless storytelling combine and manifest in lightning-in-a-bottle magic. The cinematography is so incredible, and so full of life, it moves like live-action rather the stop-motion. Breathtaking cinema.
Wildwood is a masterpiece and the pinnacle of stop-motion animation. Every second spent on the movie can be seen on the screen.
It’s a grand fantasy epic of the likes which we haven’t seen before in animation with an unbelievable battle sequence that rivals the likes of The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. I’m still unable to wrap my head around how they achieved a sequence of such magnitude.
It’s a culmination of everything Travis Knight and LAIKA have worked towards, with it also being a love letter to their home of Portland, Oregon. Peyton Elizabeth Lee and Jacob Tremblay have a relationship that slowly builds up to something that feels rewarding by the time credits roll.
LAIKA have outdone themselves with Wildwood delivering the best animated film of 2026 and one of the best this decade.

I need everyone to see this:
PLEASE GO SEE WILDWOOD IN THEATERS WHEN IT RELEASES ON OCTOBER 23
We need this film to succeed because Laika is loosing money due to their box office bombs and to prove that animation is a medium of film and not a kids genre.
I know a few people working on this, it’s gonna be incredible. And a huge risk to try a mature animation for older audiences.
But if pinnochio did alright, this deserves to do well too.
