For nearly 20 years now, Laika have been hand-crafting stop-motion-animated movies. From Coraline to ParaNorman to Kubo And The Two Strings and beyond, the filmmakers at the Portland, Oregon-based studio have delivered soulful adventures, packed with great characters, epic mythologies, and heartfelt stories. And now, they’re about to deliver their most ambitious film yet: Wildwood, sending youngster Prue into a obscure and delightful fantastical realm, on an odyssey she won’t soon forget.
To mark the upcoming release of Wildwood, Empire – in partnership with Laika – presents a 16-page bonus magazine delving deep into the world of the film, speaking to director Travis Knight and the production team as they reveal details of their latest epic. Inside, you’ll learn more about Prue, explore the halls of Pittock Mansion, meet some fantastic beasts, and venture to the obscure side of Wildwood.
This magazine is your ultimate guide to Laika’s biggest, boldest film yet – and you can find a copy bundled with Empire’s September 2026 issue, on sale Thursday July 30.
And keep an eye on empireonline.com/wildwood for more. Wildwood is in cinemas from October 23.
