given tim burton’s comments about diversity not fitting his aesthetic, i love that henry selick is reclaiming the aesthetic that should’ve always been rightly attributed to him with something so black. reclamation is punk and prisons are not!
so busy and overflowing with ideas but very sweet and good hearted. glad he got to make it
It's not a masterpiece like Coraline nor is it imaginative as The Nightmare Before Christmas but it's heart is in the right place. Capitalists are the real demons and Donald Trump makes an appearance; It's nothing more horrifying than that
Wendell & Wild:
Following a short internship on Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio I was offered a Jr. AC position on Wendell & Wild during the latter half of the production, my very first fully official job on a movie. (major shout out to Frank Passingham and Peter Sorg for starting my new career).
I climbed aboard the production in May of '21. To be perfectly honest, as excited as I was, I was incredibly nervous that I'd just get in the way of people trying to get their jobs done. However, despite my anxieties, the camera team on this project (as well as every other department) was filled with nothing but the kindest people; people that took the time to really show…
So much of this thing rules but it is absolutely overstuffed.
Feels like 3 movies smashed together. Still rad as hell.
PURE GENIUS!!! it’s dark and it’s deep and it’s an absolute delight to behold!!! henry selick is BACK and i am very happy about it
Yeah. I’m glad this exists, even if I don’t love it all the way through.
It does get weigh down by the messy storytelling, the many plot lines going on at once, some weird character motivation and editing choices in the second act, and not allowing some of the more compelling themes enough time to flesh out as they should. But the animation, voice acting, decent cast of characters, it’s creativity and imagination, and the third act made the experience worthwhile.
Far from perfect, but a fun film to watch for this spooky time of the year.
Incredibly fun and creative. Loved the characters, voice acting and the animation which was PHENOMENAL. Some plot elements were a bit too big to be explored here but the world was too rich for me to care honestly. Henry Selick has done it again
