Wendell & Wild

Wendell & Wild (2022) is based off an unpublished book by Henry Selick and Clay McLeod Chapman, the movie is also produced by Jordan Peele who has made 3 great horror movies. I thought Wendell & Wild (2022) was a cool dark stop-motion movie.

The voice acting in the movie is good, like Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele as the two demons Wendell and Wild. The two demons were animated well, and they had funny dialogue that could be funny in a normal way or a dark way.

I love the animation; the movie is a mix of CG and stop-motion that looks well done. The sets, the characters, and the backgrounds look great and fit the tone of the movie. The characters and the demons are interesting, along with the dark things they do looking cool in this animation style.

The music in this feels like the movie Coraline (2009) and The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993), which makes sense because it is by the same director. The demon world looks creative, and the demons have unique and interesting designs.

There were some unnecessary small scenes, but I still like this movie. Stop-motion fans and fans of Keegan-Michael Key and Jordan Peele will like this movie, while also liking it for its dark tone, dark humor, and the directions it will take.
