Wildwood has become one of the most anticipated films of the 2026 fall movie season. Directed by Travis Knight, who previously directed this summer’s Masters of the Universe, Wildwood is the latest film from Laika, the stop-motion animation studio behind hit films like Coraline, Paranorman, and Kubo and the Two Strings. Distributed by Fathom Entertainment, Wildwood is being released in theaters on Oct. 23, and is already setting a record for a stop-motion animated film.
