Screening of 'Wildwood', the animated film by LAIKA directed by Travis Knight, at the MK Gallery cinema.
Wildwood is coming to the cinema at MK Gallery on Friday 20 November. It's the new animated feature from LAIKA, the Oscar-nominated and BAFTA-winning studio behind Coraline and Kubo and the Two Strings, and this is one of the screenings they're bringing to Milton Keynes.
The story follows Prue McKeel, a headstrong teenager whose baby brother is snatched by a murder of crows. That sends her on a rescue mission into the Impassable Wilderness, an enchanted forest hidden just beyond Portland, Oregon. She doesn't go in alone, though — she's joined by her loyal classmate Curtis Mehlberg, and together they navigate a world of talking animals, bandits and powerful figures driven by grief and ambition. As they go, they're drawn into a conflict that threatens the forest itself.

Behind the film is Travis Knight, who directed it, and the whole thing comes from LAIKA, so it's stop-motion animation rather than CGI. The film runs 132 minutes, and it's in English. If you're planning to head along, it's playing in the gallery's cinema, and you can find the full details and tickets over at mkgallery.org/event/wildwood-12a/.
