Wildwood, rated PG-13, tells the story of a young girl who ventures into an enchanted forest to rescue her brother after he is abducted. The film features a notable voice cast including Carey Mulligan, Mahershala Ali, Jacob Tremblay, Awkwafina, Angela Bassett, Charlie Day, Jemaine Clement, and Tom Waits.
IGN's review praised Wildwood as "an arresting, exciting fantasy epic made all the more impressive by the fact that its fully realized and well-thought out world is handmade and hand-animated." The review highlighted the commendable craft from Laika and director Travis Knight, noting the film's "massive sense of both scale and whimsy are constant joys."
Details regarding bonus materials and the exact release date for the home video edition have not yet been announced. These details will be provided in the future, pending the film's box office performance.
This release follows Laika's previous acclaimed stop-motion films such as Coraline, ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Missing Link. The studio's signature style imbues Wildwood with emotional depth and expressiveness.
In addition to Wildwood, other upcoming home releases include films like Clayface and The Odyssey, as well as 4K editions of the Die Hard trilogy. A comprehensive list of upcoming 4K UHD and Blu-ray release dates is available for those looking to stay updated on new physical media editions.
