With danger, magic, battles, and talking animals, Wild forest all the elements of adventure are pure, but there is also a depth that cannot be fathomed. The entire film is in the shadow of loss, and the story is driven by the lengths people will go to in order to get back what they love.
The highest level of Wild forest it is an artistic achievement in itself. Rarely does stop-motion animation embrace such expansive landscapes and grand vistas, and it’s truly a sight to behold. The puppetry and animation was a Goliath project – years in the making – and the visual rewards are amazing. In an age where AI and technological shortcuts threaten to stifle imagination and creativity, projects like Wild forest show exactly why human touch, perspective, and care are so important.
It’s not just a visual, though; Wild forest It’s a true story, a heartwarming tale of loss, love, danger, humor and friendship, set just outside of Portland, Oregon. This is the kind of story that makes you want to feed your inner child, the part of you that would look out over a high wall of trees and create a whole mysterious world beyond.
You will see Wild forest in UK cinemas on October 23.
