positive · AI labelView post →WENDELL & WILD (2022, Netflix, #film) Henry Selick, Clay McLeod Chapman, and Jordan Peele do an all-Black stop motion film about an orphaned girl. It's politically opinionated, badly overstuffed, and simply wonderful at times. Maddening that this is just another forgotten Netflix catalog title.

positive · AI labelView post →Probably Wendell & Wild? It reviewed well but didn't seem to have much lasting impact because it's absolutely wonderful and full of characters who don't normally get to star in big animated movies.
positive · AI labelView post →so many artists I follow on bsky and elsewhere still regularly post there and even if a pedo nazi racist didn't run the site people there speak in like a new incomprehensible language the current Hot Topic is that Jordan Peele and Henry Sellick's stop motion kids film Wendell & Wild is racist???

neutral · AI labelView post →Wendell & Wild is a great film. the only issue i have is that they gloss over everything. it was too fast paced to the point where a lot of SEEMINGLY IMPORTANT plot points were never discussed - they were mentioned without further explanation. i would’ve preferred if it was a series instead

neutral · AI labelView post →Wendell & Wild It's like if somebody else made the best Tim Burton film, and made it anti-racist just to spite him. Lowkey, if you don't like this film you're probably racist. 11/10
positive · AI labelView post →“Wendell & Wild” is a good cartoon movie for this season if you haven’t seen it. Great punk soundtrack, nice Henry Selick visuals, good storyline with some interesting politics.
positive · AI labelView post →Henry Selick directed Nightmare before Christmas and James and the giant peach before he did Coraline. I guess it shows :D One of his newer movies is Wendell & Wild.

positive · AI labelView post →I watched WENDELL & WILD. I didn't know anything going into this, least of all that it was secretly also a Key & Peele movie. I liked it! It was funny, I love stop motion, it was heart warming at times. It was good! I was happy with the ending too, even though I shed a tear.
positive · AI labelView post →Here are vehicles from the stop-motion animation movie Wendell & Wild. I fabricated a bit on all of the vehicles but mostly on the family SUV and the golf cart.

neutral · AI labelView post →Tai Gooden's 2022 article on Wendell & Wild perfectly sums up why the soundtrack slaps & why I enjoy the film despite the bloated plot nerdist.com/article/wend...
positive · AI labelView post →I can't recommend it now for obvious reasons, but I am a big fan of director Henry Selick's work. His latest movie Wendell & Wild, written by Jordan Peele, is quite good.
positive · AI labelView post →Oh I watched Wendell & Wild, a very okay film. My one question is why they stopped rendering the titular demons' faces as cubist perspective dependent shapes halfway through

neutral · AI labelView post →Those two, the two Tim Burton ones, and Wendell &Wild, for me. I adore Paranorman, the most because it reminds me of browsing horror movie magazines while my mother grocery shopped, in ths '80s.
neutral · AI labelView post →WENDELL & WILD was one good ass movie when it came out. If anybody still haven't watched it? Ya should.
positive · AI labelView post →I mean, no argument there, but idk—Wendell & Wild was just really… tonally confused? It didn’t seem to know what kind of movie it wanted to be, the way Coraline or ParaNorman did. Idk. I wanted to like it more than I did. Def fuck Netflix tho
negative · AI labelView post →Reminder (or more like you’re probably hearing this for the first time because this movie flew way under the radar) Wolf Like Me is featured in Henry Selick’s 2022 stop-motion film Wendell & Wild, and Tunde of TV on the Radio did the album art and liner notes for the soundtrack!
neutral · AI labelView post →Tonight's movie is Wendell & Wild (2022). It's a stop-motion animation movie on Netflix that's a dark fantasy and comedy. Stars the voices of Lyric Ross, Keegan-Michael Key, Jordan Peele, James Hong, & Ving Rhames. Directed by Henry Selick. Music by Bruno Coulais. #movies 🎬 #NowWatching #Netflix
neutral · AI labelView post →If you have access to it, I recommended Henry Selick's other Halloween stop motion thats not NMBC, Wendell & Wild. A kids movie about prison abolition, very cool

neutral · AI labelView post →I clocked the diversity and it made me super happy 💖 I also loved how dark it was!! Like a proper family horror film. Genuinely had a lot of fun watching it. I haven't seen the original movie so I should probably do that at some point 🤭 We watched it back to back with Wendell & Wild so a 10/10 night

neutral · AI labelView post →The movie Wendell & Wild definitely has some pacing issues. They tried to cram character development for too many characters at once, I think. And still, this is one of my favorite movies of the last few years. Almost done rewatching it.
positive · AI labelView post →Ok, I put on a random "Halloween" movie for kids for trick-or-treating, and I started watching the movie 'Wendell & Wild' OmFg, It's amazing! I missed it! So cool!
positive · AI labelView post →For a very fun pulpy golden-age-inspired piece, "Pearl" was very enjoyable and different. For a "comfort spoops" movie I REALLY adore "Wendell & Wild" -- it's a brilliant piece of stop motion by the inimitable Henry Selick.

neutral · AI labelView post →For animation, most Western animation doesn't really justify a PG-13. Even for something like Wendell & Wild or for Isle of Dogs, for stop-motion comparisons. Again, I would say The Bob's Burgers Movie is also very PG It's mostly anime for PG-13-worthy animated films. But there are still tame films
neutral · AI labelView post →Wendell & Wild (2022) Selick is a master of his craft n the performances are all great, esp Key and Peele the climax is very rushed, like the conclusion to a highschool essay already pushing word count, but its easy to ignore when the rest of the movie is so damn charming and visually stunning
positive · AI labelView post →Wendell & Wild (Netflix) Fantastic movie; if you liked Coraline, you'll love this. #Netflix #WendellandWild #movies #animation
