Henry Selick delivers another generation-defining stop-motion coming of age tale with Wendell and Wild. Lyric Ross voices Kat, a demon imprinted teen with the power to summon Wendell and Wild, two trickster brothers from the underworld. Keegan Michael Key and Jordan Peele reunite to play the delightfully devious demons. The heart of the story is Kat, who along with her friends uncover some big secrets about their town in a powerfully timely tale that’s still filled with terror and thrills. Jordan Peele co-wrote the script so you already know it’s got his signature flair all over the story. And I have to shout out all the stop-motion artists and animators behind the scenes who worked on the painstakingly long process of putting the film together, their touch brings everything to life and it shows.
