Anticipated Stop-Motion Epic "Wildwood" Hits Theaters in October 2026
Laika, the stop-motion animation studio, has announced that its film Wildwood will be released in theaters on October 23, 2026, marking a seven-year gap since their last movie, Missing Link, which was released in 2019. Based on Colin Meloy's novel, Wildwood tells the story of siblings Prue and Curtis, who venture into a mystical forest to rescue Prue's younger brother from crows. Travis Knight directed the adventure-fantasy film, which the studio expects to appeal to both children and adults. The development timeline of Wildwood explains Laika's absence from cinemas, as the studio focused on other projects before returning to this full-length animated feature. Wildwood joins other animated films scheduled for release in 2026.
