So, so smart!
Wendell and Wild is a beautifully animated movie that tackles complex real life issues such as: trauma and how to heal from it, the school to prison pipeline, rehabilitation, and the importance of community.
(Bet you didn't expect that from a movie about a cute punk black girl summoning demons.)
All the issues are treated in a nuanced yet accessible way through a mix of metaphor and plain explanation.
Even the many storylines, that some people have found messy, tie neatly into a coherent whole that serves to convey the overall message of the movie.
And if the incredible plot isn't enough, I'm sure the incredible animation, the diverse cast of quirky characters, and the really good soundtrack will win you over!
