Get Ready for the Most Overhyped Movie Event of the Century!

Breaking news: LAIKA and Fathom Entertainment are about to blow your mind with their new stop-motion fantasy adventure, Wildwood! 🤯🎥 I mean, who needs actual talent when you can just use a bunch of puppets and call it a day? 🤣 The film, which has already garnered a 100% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes (yawn), will be presented in over 100 theaters on October 19, because who doesn’t love a good Monday night movie premiere? 🍿👀

So, what’s the movie about, you ask? 🤔 Well, let me tell you, it’s a real thrill-ride. 😴 After her baby brother is abducted by a murder of crows (because that’s a thing that happens 🐦), headstrong teenager Prue McKeel launches a desperate rescue mission into the Impassable Wilderness — an enchanted forest hidden just beyond Portland, Oregon (because, you know, Portland is just so magical 🌳). Joined by her hapless but loyal classmate Curtis, Prue navigates a world of talking animals (yawn), bandits (oh no!), and powerful figures driven by grief and ambition (wow, so original 🙄). As the pair is drawn into a conflict threatening the balance of the forest itself, Prue must find a way to save her brother while confronting forces that could determine Wildwood’s future (aka the most predictable plot twist ever 🙃).

The film features an all-star voice cast, including Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Jacob Tremblay, Carey Mulligan, Mahershala Ali, and Angela Bassett, among others 🤩. I mean, who wouldn’t want to listen to these talented individuals talk for two hours? 🙄 The movie is inspired by the acclaimed novel written by Colin Meloy and illustrated by Carson Ellis, because who needs original ideas when you can just adapt a book? 📚👀

LAIKA’s singular approach to stop-motion filmmaking is, of course, the real star of the show 🌟. I mean, who needs actual animation when you can just use puppets and call it a day? 🤣 The characters, environments, and intricate details are all physically crafted and animated by hand, frame by frame, creating a world that feels both fantastical and unmistakably tangible 🌐. Yeah, because that’s not a recipe for disaster 🤦‍♀️.

In related news, the film’s director, Travis Knight, has announced that he will be attending every single screening of the movie, just to make sure that everyone is having a good time 🎉. Just kidding, but wouldn’t that be something? 🤣 In reality, Knight will probably just be sitting at home, counting his money and laughing all the way to the bank 💸.

The special Fan First Screenings will offer audiences an early opportunity to experience LAIKA’s handcrafted fantasy adventure in select large formats, subject to availability at participating locations 🎥. Because who doesn’t love a good large format movie experience? 🍿👀 Each screening will also feature a special pre-recorded welcome from director Travis Knight, because who doesn’t love a good pre-recorded message? 📣

The October 19 events precede Wildwood’s nationwide theatrical release on October 23, supported by an extensive marketing campaign from LAIKA and a broad network of exhibition partners 📢. Because who doesn’t love a good marketing campaign? 🤑 The film will also be presented in select premium formats and experiences, including 4DX, DBOX, and Dolby Cinema, where available, because who doesn’t love a good overpriced movie experience? 🎥👀

In conclusion, Wildwood is a movie that you should totally go see, if you’re into that sort of thing 🤣. I mean, who wouldn’t want to watch a stop-motion fantasy adventure about a bunch of puppets and talking animals? 🤷‍♀️ It’s not like you have better things to do with your time, like laundry or dishes 🛍️🏠. So, go ahead and waste your money on this overhyped movie 🤑. I’ll be over here, laughing all the way to the bank 🤣. 🎥👀

Finn

Finn McFrame, celebrated satirical mastermind and self-proclaimed “Emperor of Irony,” started his illustrious career as a cinematographer, where his expertise in capturing every single frame of a squirrel stealing a baguette earned him accolades at obscure film festivals.

Born in the glamorous town of Boring, Oregon, Finn grew up with dreams of being a Hollywood director until he realized that satire, not cinema, was his true calling—or at least the one that let him sleep until noon.
