Fans of Corpse Bride and The Nightmare Before Christmas rejoice! Henry Selick is back with another brilliantly stunning stop animation film -- Wendell & Wild. The hilarious comedic duo Key and Peele are back as the voices of the two demon brothers, Wendell and Wild.
Wendell & Wild boasts gorgeous stop animation. The details that are given throughout the entire movie are simply stunning. Each and every scene brings something special to the table.
This movie has the same feel as successful Selick films from the paste, such as Corpse Bride. But at the same time it has improved and doesn't feel like a straight up copy -- which is helped in large part by the captivating story.
The tale being told will hook viewers right from the start, as you can't help but root for Kat, even if she has a massive teenage attitude. Wendell and Wild are a major part of the plot, but they aren't all of it. Kat's journey is dark, sad, and full of trauma.
There is only one real major issue with Wendell & Wild -- it feels far longer than it is. Things start off at a decent speed, moving through the story at a good pace, but then in the middle it starts to drag.
Packed with representation and inclusion, and a hilarious Key and Peele reunion, Wendell & Wild is once of the best spooky season movies in a while.
