Directed by Travis Knight and produced by Laika Studios, Wildwood is a stop-motion animated fantasy adventure based on Colin Meloy’s novel. Set against the backdrop of Portland, Oregon, the film examines the hidden ecological magic, generational secrets, and political power struggles existing just beyond the edge of human civilization.
Wildwood Plot
Thirteen-year-old Prue McKeel lives in Portland with her parents, who strictly forbid her from crossing the St. Johns Bridge into the Impassable Wilderness known as Wildwood. While watching her infant brother, Mac, at a park, a massive murder of crows abducts the baby into the forbidden forest. Prue pursues them on her bicycle, accidentally dragging along her classmate Curtis. Inside the forest, they discover a secret realm of talking animals, bandits, and rival factions.
Prue learns that years earlier, her parents made a desperate secret pact with Alexandra, the Dowager Governess, trading ties to forest magic in exchange for fertility help to conceive Prue. Because of this, Prue was born of magic. Alexandra now intends to sacrifice Mac to awaken the primordial, sentient Ivy and use its power to resurrect her dead son.
