LAIKA Releases First Trailer for ‘WILDWOOD’ Ahead of October Theatrical Debut
Animation studio LAIKA has officially released the first trailer for its upcoming fantasy adventure film, WILDWOOD, giving audiences a first look at the studio’s latest stop-motion spectacle ahead of its theatrical release on October 23.
Known for visually ambitious animated films such as Coraline, Kubo and the Two Strings, and ParaNorman, LAIKA appears to be leaning once again into dark fantasy storytelling with WILDWOOD.
The film follows a young girl who ventures deep into a mysterious forbidden forest after her baby brother is kidnapped. Inside the magical wilderness, she encounters strange creatures, hidden dangers, and a world unlike anything she has ever known.
The newly released trailer highlights the film’s richly detailed stop-motion animation, atmospheric forest environments, and emotionally driven adventure narrative. Early reactions online have already praised the film’s handcrafted visual style and the studio’s signature blend of fantasy and eerie storytelling.
WILDWOOD is based on the novel of the same name and continues LAIKA’s tradition of adapting imaginative and emotionally layered stories for the big screen. The movie is expected to be one of the studio’s most ambitious productions to date.
The film arrives exclusively in theaters on October 23.
