There are places you don’t go. One choice changes everything. Watch the Teaser Trailer for Wildwood now, and see the movie in theatres everywhere October 23.
2026 is already looking like a very promising year for animation, and we're also getting a new LAIKA film, which just makes everything better, no matter what.
Stop motion animation is a labor of love, and the fact that LAIKA and Aardman are out here still doing it, doing it at a level that is buckwild insane, and releasing movies where you could press pause at any given time and frame it, is proof that the entire industry isn't going entirely down the drain. We saw some art from Wildwood at CinemaCon, and LAIKA has been teasing the film for a while now, but the official teaser trailer was released today, and, to the surprise of no one, it looks incredible.
Fathom is handling the distribution this time around, and if there is a single bit of justice left in this world, the movie will find an audience and do well in a crowded release schedule.
