I had the privilege to watch Wildwood last night as part of their Fan Screening event and I am so glad that I drove the 1.5hours to the theater to watch it. Honestly I wish they handed out a promotional item for this screening, but that was reserved for the opening day.
I loved the film. What can I say, first impressions is that it's one of Laika's best films. It's probably my second favorite film of theirs besides Coraline.
I honestly think that the trailers do not do this movie justice. They really didn't capture the story or how epic the film is.
I was pleasantly surprised they didn't shy away from the adult themes and visuals that one may assume in a "kids" movie. I would say its not a kids movie, but more young adult and older. The missing Link I would consider more of a kids movie that really insulted the intelligence of adults that watched it, Wildwood is certainly not that.
I hope this movie preforms well in theaters, it definitely deserves it. With all the other bad films that have been released over the years, Wildwood is finally a film worth watching. I cannot wait to see it again. Wildwood isn't just another movie, I honestly believe that it is going to go down in movie history. When people look back on the films that really inspired them, Wildwood is going to be on that list.
