Wildwood: Where the Sky Remembers (Official Featurette)

Step higher into the world of Wildwood, where the Avian Principality rules the skies above the wilderness.

In this exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette, LAIKA’s artists and artisans reveal how they brought this powerful aerial realm to life through intricate design, handcrafted sets, and the extraordinary artistry of stop-motion animation.

For more than a decade, LAIKA’s craftspeople have been building the world of Wildwood through meticulous hand-built environments, expressive character animation, and boundless imagination. The Avian Principality rises above the forest as a kingdom of wings and wind, where the rulers of the skies watch over the hidden world below.

Every feather is crafted by hand. Every wing is carefully animated. Every frame reveals a world taking flight.

This is Where the Sky Remembers.

From director Travis Knight, Wildwood is based on the bestselling novel by Colin Meloy and illustrated by Carson Ellis. Wildwood will release in theaters everywhere October 23, 2026.
