With less than three months before\u00a0Wildwood<\/a>\u00a0is out, Laika\u2019s got another look at the film to show you. Not a trailer, though, it\u2019s a featurette that shows Laika\u2019s process for crafting its latest film.<\/p>\n

Over stirring music and dialogue from the film, we watch for nearly two-and-a-half minutes as the studio\u2019s crew builds out the stop-motion world in perfect detail. Some of the film\u2019s environments and characters get their first reveal here, including an armored woman on horseback and a forest setting full of bird houses high up in the tree. The snippets of dialogue that play during these moments tease out Wildwood\u2019s\u00a0scope, and get you in the right mindset of being as awed and drawn into the world as the characters are.<\/p>\n

From seeing the sets get constructed (and carted around) to the figures moving on a timeline, it\u2019s really something to watch this all come together. Laika previously bragged about\u00a0Wildwood\u00a0being made by real humans<\/a>, and the video description notes the studio\u2019s spent over a decade \u201cshaping [the film\u2019s] world through meticulous craftsmanship, innovative animation, and boundless creativity.\u201d<\/p>\n

That hard work and the process clearly shows in the video above, and it\u2019s part of what makes\u00a0Wildwood\u00a0a movie we\u2019re looking forward to when it hits theaters on October 23<\/a>.<\/p>\n
