Our Visit to Portland Oregon Pittock Mansion: Wildwood

 My wife and I visited Portland's Pittock Mansion back in June of 2016. It was featured in a couple of movies in the past (I.e. First Love & Unhinged), but is now in Laika's new stop-motion film, Wildwood

Laika Studios Nike Shoes Wildwood...Where are they?

 

(AI Concept-ie not real)

I cannot be the only one wondering where Wildwood's Nike shoe is. Nike collaborated with Laika for each of their previous films, releasing beautifully designed (and Highly collectable) shoe, however I have not seen any information regarding a new Wildwood Nike shoe...

Will we see a Nike Shoe in the future, or have we seen the last Laika Nike shoe with Missing Link? Perhaps the decision was made not to make a Wildwood shoe as Nike already released a Wildwood line back in 1989

Wildwood Fan Screening Postcards gift

 

Few! I was afraid I wasn't going to receive these. This was a free gift ($2 SH) for those who attended the fans first movie screening. When I went to the website to claim my gift, they were sold out. However, luckily they came back in-stock and I was able to claim my free gift. Thank you Laika!

Laika's Wildwood Movie

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.

I wasn't fortunate enough to attend this years SDCC, however I as certain that Laika must be there promoting their new movie Wildwood. Sure enough I was able to find this pin for sale on ebay.
