The film, which currently holds a 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, will be presented in more than 100 participating theatrical locations on Monday, October 19, offering audiences an exclusive early opportunity to experience the film on the big screen ahead of its nationwide theatrical release on Friday, October 23.
That journey has led to Wildwood: the largest, most ambitious, and most technically sophisticated film in LAIKA's history.
Wildwood is a handcrafted epic fantasy that transports audiences into a secret, dangerously alive world. A girl’s desperate quest to save her baby brother becomes a high-stakes journey into a forbidden forest filled with enchanted creatures, unlikely allies, and formidable adversaries, where an entire hidden realm hangs in the balance. In an era of automation, LAIKA delivers its most ambitious and globally accessible film yet, combining human-crafted artistry with large-scale cinematic storytelling.
