neutral · AI labelView post →'Wildwood' is still at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes 🍅 • Based on 45 reviews • LAIKA's highest-rated film ever Exclusively in theaters October 23 🍿
neutral · AI labelView post →LAIKA’s ‘Wildwood’ debuts on Rotten Tomatoes with a perfect 100% score. 🍅 The film is being hailed as one of the best animated movies in years.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wildwood is the best animated movie I’ve seen in years. Incredible craftsmanship aside, as is standard for Laika, the story and themes of the film were shockingly mature in a way that didn’t talk down to the viewer. And it was EPIC too. Genuinely had me on the edge of my seat! Highly recommended.
positive · AI labelView post →Travis Knight says that ‘WILDWOOD’ had to be PG-13 due to the tragic acts of violence seen in the film. “Modern cinema generally tends to talk down to young audiences. But young people experience loss. They know what it’s like to feel afraid.” (Source: www.nytimes.com/2026/10/24/m...)
neutral · AI labelView post →Saw a comment on a TikTok video of the song The Decemberists wrote for the Wildwood movie that said "this sounds like stomp-clap music" and my dear Gen-Z adult it is a Decemberists song. You went to the stomp-clap store and then wondered why it sounded like stomp-clap.
neutral · AI labelView post →‘Wildwood’ had the year’s most-watched trailers, reaching 90M views and surpassing ‘Avengers: Doomsday.’ The film opened to $11M at the domestic box office.
neutral · AI labelView post →2nd time Watching Wildwood this weekend. It genuinely feels like the type of movie that will inspire future generations of artists and storytellers to push the boundaries of what animation can get away with. And I think that’s beautiful honestly.
positive · AI labelView post →Okay, Wildwood is movie of the year. And that’s selling it short.
positive · AI labelView post →Saw Wildwood today. A fantastic movie overall, but a true artistic masterpiece. If you wanna witness the sheer power of human art, this is it. Also as an Oregonian, very wonderful to see Portland depicted so lovingly 🫶
positive · AI labelView post →LAIKA’s ‘Wildwood’ is tracking for a domestic opening weekend of just $6M–$10M, Box Office Pro reports. • Estimated budget of $100M • Would mark one of the lowest openings for an animated film in 2026
neutral · AI labelView post →Laika Studios made an amazing new stop-motion movie called Wildwood that was 16 years in the making! In the age of AI slop, it is incredible to see this real art made by human hands❤️ Please support it by going to the cinema when you're interested! Behind the scenes: youtu.be/gZy36NLObaU?...
positive · AI labelView post →Movie recommendation for tonight, Wildwood Just back from seeing this and my god what a masterpiece! Utterly jawdropping at every moment, staggering artistry on display! Made me feel like a kid again watching the likes of Labyrinth of Willow for the first time! TOM WAITS PLAYED THE COYOTE GENERAL!?
positive · AI labelView post →Travis Knight tells us why he wanted to adapt Colin Meloy’s ‘WILDWOOD’ novel into a massive stop-motion animated film. “It felt like it was breathing the same air as all these classic fantasies and fairytales that I loved my entire life, like Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, or Frank Baum.”
neutral · AI labelView post →WILDWOOD (2026) - Feel like Laika have made the film they've been threatening for years. The technical ambition (and achievement) is astonishing. But crucially it's in service of a story with a lot of emotional punch and thematic heft. loved it #thomfilms26
positive · AI labelView post →Seriously, every message I get from my friends telling me they went to see Wildwood makes me grin like an idiot! It is so special to me that you are taking your time to support our movie. We worked so hard on it, seeing it finished and being loved by other people is unreal.
positive · AI labelView post →LAIKA’s ‘Wildwood’ is now the highest-rated stop-motion film on Letterboxd with a debut rating of 4.3 star reviews.
neutral · AI labelView post →Jacob Tremblay tells us how overwhelming it was to see the practical sets of ‘WILDWOOD’ in person. “You have establishing shots that pop up maybe for a couple of seconds in this film, and Laika went out of their way to make huge sets just for those couple of seconds.”
neutral · AI labelView post →Y'all I can say without a shred of doubt that Wildwood is the pinnacle of stop-motion artistry ever committed to film, and the movie and crew who made it deserves every single praise that has been made of it. Go see this film if you can!
positive · AI labelView post →‘WILDWOOD’ is the biggest stop-motion film of all time, but does that scale translate into a good film? Find out in our review… discussingfilm.net/2026/10/11/w...
neutral · AI labelView post →WE MADE A MOVIE IT EXISTS GO SEE IT AAAAAAAAAAAAAA #wildwood
neutral · AI labelView post →Travis Knight tells us how Laika pushed the limits of stop-motion animation for ‘WILDWOOD’. “These big sweeping camera movements, having something that feels elegant, alive, handheld, and cinematic in stop-motion, is really challenging. But that’s what this movie required.”
neutral · AI labelView post →Wildwood is a movie completely unfettered, in every single regard. It shoots for the stars and becomes them. A story that leaves no leaf of itself unturned and yet leaves a world that could launch 1000 stories. I will be watching this movie the rest of my life to appreciate every little bit I can!
positive · AI labelView post →Y'all gotta go see Wildwood. Mind-blowing that it's even possible to make the last 30 minutes of that movie in stop motion.
positive · AI labelView post →WILDWOOD is a classic film. You will watch it every year in the autumn for the rest of your hell damn ass life. It will enrich you. It will feed you. That movie with the prankster will win Oscars and disappear. It will Crash. It will Life is Beautiful. It will The Artist.
positive · AI labelView post →Just got out of seeing Wildwood Stop motion animation at that scale boggles the mind already, but at a certain point in the movie the sheer amount of effort required for every second of what was happening on screen started registering as actual Magic
positive · AI labelView post →So, Wildwood is terrific. A lot of old folks like me wish for the dark, quasi-traumatic family film of our youths. We don’t get them very often, but Wildwood fits the bill. High fantasy, real stakes, complicated characters, incredible animation. Long live Laika.
positive · AI labelView post →Got out to see Wildwood, and damn. Felt like my soul was healed a little bit. That love and craft~ Stunning film
positive · AI labelView post →How does a CGI illumination slop movie like this cost the same as Wildwood, the longest stop motion movie ever produced
neutral · AI labelView post →Wildwood tickets secured. I need this movie very badly right now I think
neutral · AI labelView post →#Wildwood is incredible. It is the second best film of the year. A technical marvel, a reminder of the power of handmade art.
positive · AI labelView post →Wildwood is one of the most significant achievements in animation and human craft in film. We left the theatre unable to speak without getting emotional. You NEED to see this one on the big screen.
positive · AI labelView post →Watched Wildwood This may be Laika's magnum opus as this is easily one of the most visually impressive and strong crafted films I have seen in years along having fantastic writing with a lot of surprising moments for a animated film and amazing voice cast. Go and see this movie
positive · AI labelView post →Wildwood, the new film from the animation pioneers at Laika, is the longest stop-motion feature yet made, w/ voice performances from Carey Mulligan, Tom Waits, Mahershala Ali, Richard E. Grant & more. Not for little kids--it's scary & violent as hell--but a genuine dazzler. slate.com/culture/2026...
neutral · AI labelView post →it feels so surreal seeing all the reactions to Wildwood... I spent 5 years at LAIKA and sometimes it truly felt like the film would never get to the finish line! I can't believe it's finally out in the world!
neutral · AI labelView post →The amount of work and craft and care and skill that went into WILDWOOD is bonkers. Please go see this movie if you’re able. We can’t effectively push back on the slopification of everything if we don’t also show up for human-made art.
positive · AI labelView post →I am shouting from the rooftops to PLEASE go see Wildwood in theaters, if you have the ability to! Every single frame is a masterpiece. I don't know if I've ever been so in awe of an animated film So thankful to have been able to see it on the big screen, and support this passion project ❤️
positive · AI labelView post →Do you keep this energy for every single movie by an American studio? Do you boycott every movie released by Disney, WB, Universal, Paramount, Sony, Amazon, Netflix, etc? If so I am impressed but if not, wondering why Wildwood is the one to catch these strays?
neutral · AI labelView post →Wild, man. Laika’s WILDWOOD is the #1 film in North America, earning $2M on Tuesday.
neutral · AI labelView post →Noticed these beautiful crows around Portland? They are scattered throughout our city to celebrate the new Laika film, Wildwood, that just came out TODAY! Take your friends or family to see the movie this weekend and check out the crow trail before Nov. 1st.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ah finally home from the movies I saw Wildwood it was such a lovely movie plus I might have put a buttplug in the ass at the movie theaters restroom. Heh I hope you all enjoy your treat and don't forget to tip and spoil me.
positive · AI labelView post →What a weekend. Spent some quality hot tub time w/ a friend last night & got to be social w/ new folks. This morning I made pancakes, bacon & hash browns for the boys before taking them to see Wildwood. What a beautiful film & it reminded me that I had this little crow friend to build tonight. ❤️🧡💛🐦⬛
positive · AI labelView post →Just got done seeing Wildwood and holy hell what an amazing movie. I almost cried multiple times throughout it not just because of the story but also due to the artistry at work. This was such a special movie and I can’t recommend it enough. Go see this movie ;0;!!!
positive · AI labelView post →Wildwood. Man. That's the most visually gorgeous movie I've seen in years. Also maybe don't take any kids under ten, that shit was dark 😂
positive · AI labelView post →I’m bound by matrimony to say this (mutual promotion was in the vows) but my fucking god did @kezdyer.bsky.social et al make a fucking MOVIE with Wildwood. My favourite thing she’s worked on, and she’s worked on some bangers. See it in a cinema or regret your choices on streaming.
positive · AI labelView post →After seven years, Laika is back with their new film featuring two kids rescuing a baby from a dark, magical forest outside of Portland. The film is one of the most stunningly crafted animated films I have ever seen. Anyway, here's my review of Wildwood.
neutral · AI labelView post →FFC review: WILDWOOD, by Walter Chaw (@mangiotto.bsky.social). filmfreakcentral.net/2026/10/wild...
neutral · AI labelView post →I encourage every one of you to go and see Wildwood as soon as you can. It is an amazing movie that is visually stunning.
positive · AI labelView post →#lastfourwatched #letterboxd #filmsky #moviesky boxd.it/8FVgb Even i looked at this and thought, "What an odd collection of films." This weekend: Klara and the Sun, Clayface, Wicker, Wildwood, and the Substance (for movie night).
neutral · AI labelView post →I enjoyed the almost unpardonably millennial feature film Wildwood
positive · AI labelView post →Finished watching WildWood and it sincerely left me speechless You can see and feel the ambitious oozing at every point of the film and it genuinely inspired me to keep going at my own craft, especially during these difficult times of AI..
positive · AI labelView post →Wildwood is the most breathtaking thing I’ve seen in what feels like decades. Calling this film an achievement is such an understatement, such great pacing and beautifully written characters! Rarely has a movie cast a spell on me like this one did, PLEASE GO SEE IT.
positive · AI labelView post →The "Animation is Cinema" crowd when a Disney movie is looking to make more money than Forgotten Island and Wildwood (two movies they refuse to see) combined:
neutral · AI labelView post →I can not emphasize how much this is a movie worth seeing in the theater and how badly I want it to do well. If you're a fan of something meticulously & lovingly crafted, it's Wildwood. If you like animation, you 1000% need to go. There is just such great acting choices & beautiful movement in this.
positive · AI labelView post →Wildwood is the most ambitious film yet from Laika, the stop-motion studio best known for the likes of Coraline and ParaNorman. @andrewrweb.bsky.social asked director Travis Knight about what it’s like releasing a film like this at a time when AI tools seem inescapable. buff.ly/aS9wttu
neutral · AI labelView post →Wildwood being released to universal acclaim makes me feel a lot better about the wretched Masters of the Universe movie. Same writer, same director, lol, hey they got paid
positive · AI labelView post →That's $105 million in the trash every week. For reference: Wildwood, the beautiful claymation film 16 years in the making, cost $100mil. Forgotten Island: $80mil. The Spider-Verse movies were $90mil and $100mil. Even Arcane, the most expensive animated series EVER, clocked in at $250mil.
neutral · AI labelView post →in recent weeks i'm thinking about how Brazil was expected to swing toward Bolsanaro, or how one headline said that Laika's Wildwood would bomb ( before the movie was even out) though people showed up to vote and peopled turned out to see the movie. This is why you show up.
neutral · AI labelView post →Maybe a controversial take but I don’t think Wildwood was a good response to “care about art made by humans” It was a film that was technically brilliant, but doesn’t really speak to me. It was quite generic and cliche to me, what I’d expect from someone wielding AI. All surface little depth
negative · AI labelView post →Wildwood might be the most beautiful movie ever made
