Go Behind The Scenes On Laika’s Forthcoming Wildwood Animated Feature

Into The Wildwood

Wildwood is animation studio Laika’s next feature out later this year and ahead of that, here’s a behind the scenes featurette on its making…

Step into the shadows of Pittock Mansion, one of Portland’s most iconic landmarks, reimagined from the ground up for Wildwood. In this exclusive behind-the-scenes featurette, LAIKA’s artists and artisans reveal how they transformed a historic home into a symbol of mystery, power, and magic. For more than a decade, LAIKA’s craftspeople have been shaping the world of Wildwood through meticulous hand-built sets, intricate animation, and boundless imagination. Pittock Mansion becomes more than brick and stone: it becomes a gateway into a realm where humans and animals live hand in paw and talon… a world of secrets waiting to be uncovered. This is where every surface is sculpted by human hands. Every detail carries a story. Every shadow invites discovery. This is Where Mystery Dwells.

From director Travis Knight, Wildwood is based on the bestselling novel by Colin Meloy and illustrated by Carson Ellis. Discover more about the story and sign up for updates at https://wildwoodmovie.com.
